"At the time when my good friend, climbing partner and now also school management colleague still resided in Karlsruher Sophienstraße, I would like to return here. The restaurant Vaca Verde, which is very popular with palate friends from the fan city, was still in the premises of Mama Thanh Ecke Uhlandstraße-Sophienstraße. Unfortunately, it never happened because the store closed its doors in August 2018. One should not push his planned gastro visits to the bank too long, otherwise they remain pious, then later smashed wishes on an ever-long “to-eat list”. The fact that we now swept up with the panasian successor of Tanja Finck-Penkwitt’s former “green cow” was a little surprised at me. But my Mr Papa had so decided and against a spontaneous invitation for his part nothing was to be objected. Since March 2019, the Panasian restaurant, run by Vietnamese Thi Thanh Nguyen, has been located in the West City. A look at the homepage, designed with attractive images, gave an insight into the culinary orientation. “Vietnam meets Japan” or “Pho vs. Sushi” could not be summarized as the new style mix of these two trendy country cuisines of the Far East. Since our last contact with „Fernkost“ was still dated from the late summer of last year – friends of buzzing gastrorezensionen might still remember the report of a truly scrupulous entry at the Saarbrücker Vorweiseeasian „Indochine“ – and we were only holding up with one or other sushi-to-go feed from the Hubertushof Ilbeheim in the relaxed meantime. From the outside the restaurant made a very clean impression. The damp weather allowed us to abridge from the original plan to sit on the outdoor terrace hidden under parasols. Instead of a green cow, Mom Thanh In the interior, however, only one table was occupied at this time, so that even here the distances could be easily preserved. Especially since we had the slightly elevated guest room in the back area, accessible via a small staircase, completely for us alone in the tastefully decorated place. My father is not an unknown, he made use of the take-away option during the lockdown and praised the tasty dishes from the wok. After welcoming the service staff, we quickly went to study the extensive range of dishes. The registration was done without any problems using a QR code that was placed on our table in a laminated DIN-A4 format. That this restaurant was not an x-popular 08/15-choke snack already made the decor clear. In the well-maintained laminate floor, the contemporary lighting and the valent wooden furniture was apparently neatly invested. Also the comfortable upholstered chairs did not make a minor impression. Interior Rear or upper guest room In the adjoining room was the sushi counter. There you were forced to pass by once. From this rearmost guest room you could quickly reach the outside terrace through a glass door. Sushi-Theke to the left Short ways to facilitate work with the appropriate utilization of the local in the summer. So much thought. When the menu was browsed, the nice gastro history of the Mama Thanh fell in my eye on the first side. A friendly “Xin Chao” followed a short break to the culinary orientation of the shop. In addition to the passion for South Vietnamese cuisine, the family was highlighted as a central element of gastronomic activity. The wife of the eternal British successor, Prince Charles, would certainly have become warm at the first side. Even without “parkers” the Hawaiian National Court “Poke” was offered in the form of numerous “Bowl e s”. The basis for this was sushi rice and a salad mix. Toppings Edamame, Quinoa, Couscous, Avocado, etc., Protein syringes Chicken, Tofu, Tuna Co. as well as Saucen Mango, Wasabi, Sesame could be combined according to pleasure and mood. On the other hand, the culinary reference to Vietnam did not come to me. No matter, the spa bowls from the pacific area were easily over-leafed. The focus today was not on recovery food, but rather should be significantly more unhealthy. It whispered me after hand-resistant meatwork – also grilled – and behold, I became fervent. What Mama Thanh loves to commit, could only be right. From a good half dozen dishes operating in the map under the heading “Lieblingsessen” – among them also the Nudelsuppenbenchmark from Vietnam in two variants of Pho Bò and Pho Gà – I chose the mixed grill plate 16.80 euros, which would have been well served with chicken lobes, meatballs and Spareribs for all kind-bourgeois carving buds. The extremely lushly designed, consisting of over 50 different Maki, Nigiri, Crunchy, Inside Out, Tempura, Veggie and Sashimi versions, played for us on this Sunday afternoon – Attention Kalauer! – no role. On the way, it should be the starter plate for 2 persons 15 euros. She delivered a good cross-section through the predominantly crispy finger food program of Mama Thanh with lacquered chicken shoots, spring, vegetable and summer rolls as well as two crocheted shrimps. A little finger food on the way My wife chose Pho Bò 12,50 Euro, while on the part of my father and his wife twice the Vietnamese chicken curry called “Cari Ga” was chosen 13.50 Euro. In the latter, carrots, potatoes and rice noodles should accompany the chicken meat in coconut milk. So enough saturation seemed to be ensured. In the case of the drinks, on one side of the table, Badische Braukunst ruled. If you were able to enjoy the really first-class hop products from the Bauhöfer family brewery located in the heart of the Orteau, please do not hesitate. An Ulmer Helles! After a pleasant waiting period, a freshly tapped Ulmer Helles stood in front of me in the nostalgic 0.5-stone pitch. My father, on the other hand, had opted for the Ulmer Pilsener in the semi-liter class both 3.90 euros, which was definitely not a mistake. In the meantime, the ladies chatted in freshly brewed ingvalues of 3.50 euros and a bottle of Peterstaler Classic 0.75l for 4.80 euros. What surprised me very positively was the fact that there was also a nice selection of wines in the open plan. And this of quite acceptable origin. With Ellermann-Spiegel Kleinfischlingen and Oliver Zeter Neustadt was even the Palatinate at the start. Even more interesting, however, the bottle wine offer sounded. Riesling von Bassermann-Jordan and Grauburgunder von Messmer certainly cannot be found with every Panasiate in the portfolio. Especially since the prices seemed highly “left-Rhine” calculated. The 30 euros for the Cuvée Z by Oliver Zeter were just a bargain. And the “Win-Win-Riesling” from the winery of Winning was also a situation of the same name with a fair presentation of 26 euros. The emsigating operation brought our appetizer plate, which animated as a finger lining for parts. The chicken spits still brushed with teriyaki sauce shortly after frying were juicy sweet and not too dry. The vegetables and vegetables also removed from the frituse Spring rolls corresponded to commercial, little original TK standard. The Hanoier Allerlei In addition, the two Nems rice paper rolls together with the shrimps in the crispy shell formed the crunch highlights of this “Hanoier Allerleis”. A triple “Ho-Ho-Ho-Chi-Minh” deserved the freshly rolled summer rolls filled with shrimps, salads and rice noodles. Ribbed into the tasty Hoisin sauce, they were a first, seriously meant fresh accent from Southeast Asia. Also the salad leaf made with piquant washabi dressing could be tasted. An overall ordinary appetite heater with a pronounced convenience content, high crispy content and dip-friendly susceptibility. Nothing world moving, but consistently good standard. Between the first and the main food, the time went quite fast without us however feeling craved. Meanwhile, beside me, it smelled aromatic to lemongrass, gallant and kaffirlimette. The chicken curry No wonder, there was the chicken curry in front of my senior with lush potato and carrots on the porcelain and wanted to be sprinkled by him. The rice noodle soup “Pho Bò” with beef, spring onions, soy sprouts and fresh herbs was a remarkable portion. What the Pho?? A fine cinnamon hurt to me, but that's what it is. I wondered if my wife would have grown to the delicious content of this giant bowl. A bowl full of bliss It was how to stand out after a delicious spoon performance. As a result, my request for soup jail was crushed with a smiling head. Even at my corner of the table, something had been done in a culinary way. The grill plate, decorated with a spicy frying band, a crispy peel rib and a juicy chicken foot, had arrived at his addressee. The “Three Zahmen vom Grill” were draped around a salad center, refined with Wasabi dressing. The Three Creams from Barbecue A slightly acidic dipsauce soy, lime or the like and a basmati rice tavern with roasted sesame complete the ensemble, which offered a pleasant barbecue, but without really bringing the palate into gustatory distress. It was simply missing from Wumms, which a balanced marinade or a refined topping could have contributed. The lacquered chicken foot in front of Teriyaki-Rib No question, that was handcrafted in the green area, but tastefully unfortunately quite monotonous. Especially when chicken and asparagus were provided with the same sweet Teriyaki paint. No matter, “the hunger has it’s neitriebe”, how to say something further south of Baden. And the portion made it all. So everything in the paint and that in the truest sense of the word. Who wants to whim at a high level? After so long Asia abstinence, the present enjoyment suffered after a sweet conclusion. Tempura Banane, Crème Caramel and the sweets, which are simply referred to as “Chè”, were 4,50 Euro Vietnamese provenance. Chè ohne Guevara I chose the latter, especially as an espresso cup full of “Chè” was enough to try. A friendly gesture and a small sugar shock at the same time. But I liked the dessert primarily made from coconut milk and tapioka pearls. The Crème Caramel was also cleaned as quickly as it was praised. Conclusion: Mama Thanh gave us a relaxed Sunday afternoon with the right-wing Rhenish part of the family. The service certainly contributed to this with its inexorably friendly way. I am happy to see the Southeast Asian hospitality in Karlsruhe Weststadt again. But then with wine accompaniment and also with one or other sip from the region at the table."
