Mai Vi Modern Vietnamese Food, St. Catharines

Friday 14 November

After Holt's hard day lecturing about sex, Mike (the chair) and Katharine took us out for Vietnamese food at Mai Vi.
OK mango roll, indifferent fried coconut shrimp (not enough coconut, not enough shrimp, too much fried). A pretty decent seafood curry.

The thing to go for, though, is a very nice crispy duck, shellacked skin redolent of five-spice, served on a bed of vedge. Various sauces on the side (ours was a soy{a} and ginger that was closer to a hoisin). You get half a duck, crackling, no bones. Worth the detour.
