Where To Eat In Uptown - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Hai Yen has plenty of things to choose from on its menu, but the first thing we go for at this casual spot is the bò 5 món (beef 5 ways). Considered a higher-end dish fit for a celebration, bò 5 món consists of the following: 1) Gỏi bò, a cold salad of shredded papaya and carrot, with beef; 2) Bò nhúng dấm, a fondue-like dish with sliced raw beef dipped into heated sweet vinegar; 3) Bò nướng mỡ chài, grilled sausages of ground beef wrap in caul—a fatty, rich delight—wrapped in rice paper with rice noodles, fresh vegetables and herbs; 4) Bò lá lốt, ground beef sausages wrapped in the lá lốt leaf (known as “wild betel leaf”) and grilled and 5) Bò nướng sả, grilled beef with lemongrass, also eaten in a rice paper wrap. Yes, we know that's a lot of information, but we really want you to come here and order this dish." - adrian kane, courtney sprewer, veda kilaru, john ringor
