Trying out this little Viet resto in Ottawa's Chinatown. Don't think the pho can compare to Toronto's Viet places, but the dessert soup of sticky rice, corn and barley is pretty nice.

As suggested by a close friend, come to try this trendy restaurant offering tapas (small dishes). The desserts we try include: Napoleon (front) and Baked Alaska (at the back). The kumquat in the napoleon tastes really refreshing.
