Farewell to An Nam at Festival Walk

I absolutely love Southeast Asian cuisine, and Vietnamese food is one of my favorites! The An Nam branch at Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong offers a comfortable dining experience with great service and authentic dishes. Unfortunately, I've heard that the restaurant will be temporarily closing at Festival Walk. So, I decided to seize the opportunity to dine there with friends and create some wonderful memories. An Nam will be temporarily closing at Festival Walk on September 2nd! Starting today, they are offering special dishes and various discounts as part of their 9th-anniversary celebration. As soon as we sat down, we ordered the signature Pineapple Mojito for $78. It was refreshing and delicious with a hint of pineapple aroma, perfectly complementing the Vietnamese cuisine. Plus, you can get a second drink for just $9 (calculated based on the lower-priced item), which is a great deal. My friend wanted to try the Garlic Butter Chicken Wings for $98, and of course, I joined in! The wings were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. If they had added a bit more butter, it would have been even more indulgent. Another promotion includes two exclusive dishes at the Festival Walk branch! They are offering the Three-Flavor Jumbo Prawns and An Nam Golden Beef Pot at a discounted price. We chose the Three-Flavor Jumbo Prawns for $398 (original price $448), featuring grilled, tamarind, and sweet and sour jumbo prawns. The jumbo prawns were indeed huge, each as big as my palm! The meat was succulent, and the prawn head was filled with flavorful prawn roe. First, we tried the basic grilled jumbo prawn. The plump and juicy Indonesian prawns were loaded with prawn roe, making it incredibly indulgent. The smoky aroma from the grill added to the deliciousness. The tamarind jumbo prawn was seasoned with their signature tamarind sauce, offering a sweet and tangy flavor that made us smile with every bite. Lastly, the sweet and sour jumbo prawn was seasoned with a special sweet and sour sauce. The unique flavor was refreshing and not overwhelming, thanks to the distinctive sauce. The promotions kept coming, and we also chose the second dish at half price from the Surf and Turf selection! First up was the An Nam Appetizer Platter for $268, which included silky steamed rice rolls, crispy An Nam spring rolls, chewy Vietnamese shrimp cakes, crunchy soft-shell crab rice rolls, and my favorite, crispy shrimp chips. The second dish was the An Nam Tamarind Crab for $548, made with a generous portion of Vietnamese mud crab. It was stir-fried with tamarind sauce, black pepper, chili, and purple onions. The fresh crab meat combined with the tangy tamarind sauce made us lick our fingers clean. Vegetables are a must at every meal, so we also ordered the Stir-Fried Kai Lan with Belacan for $98. The vibrant green kai lan paired with the flavorful belacan was refreshing and delicious, making it easy to finish the plate. Everyone should take the opportunity to revisit An Nam's unique Vietnamese dishes at Festival Walk within the next month. After that, you'll have to visit their Causeway Bay branch to enjoy their food.
