Rating: 2.5/5 Wandering around ICC on Sunday evening my husband and I decided to have an early dinner. It wasn't until we'd been seated that we noticed Nahm was both a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant, I had assumed it was just Vietnamese given its name. Normally I try to avoid restaurants that don't stick to one cuisine as they typically fail at both (a number of sub-standard Japanese/Italian restaurants spring to mind). But we decided to stay because the food on surrounding tables looked and smelled promising.
As it was an early dinner we only chose three dishes which proved to be more than enough as serving sizes are generous.
Our appetiser of spicy minced chicken with lettuce cups arrived promptly and was consumed almost as quickly. Of the three dishes we ordered this was the best and is the only one I'd order again. The flavour was nice with a hint of chilli but describing it as spicy is an overstatement.
The grilled marinated pork neck with tamarind and chilli sauce arrived next. The tamarind sauce was nice but the pork was quite chewy and a little disappointing.
Our final dish was the braised cha ca (a type of fish fillet) with turmeric, macadamia and dill. I prefer whole fish to fillets but the fillets were cooked nicely and weren't dry or rubbery. It was a light dish although I searched to no avail for traces of macadamia.
The Verdict: Nothing special but satisfying. I'd try Nahm again but am unlikely to become a regular.
