Most people who think about eating Vietnamese in Marrickville think of the famous Bay Tinh Restaurant in Victoria Road - it's usually packed.
Next to the Bay Tinh is is the usually not packed Mui Huong Goat Meat Restaurant.
I've often wondered what it was like, but have not yet been brave enough to try. Why I would be coy about eating goat I don't know - I've eaten plenty of 'mystery' foods in my travels around the globe and it's really not that unusual. After all I could cheerfully eat Goat cheese and drink goat's milk until the goat's come home...
Yesterday I stumbled across a review of this restaurant on a Sydney food blog - Not Quite Nigella.
The reviewer and blogger, Lorraine Elliott, gives it the thumbs up.
My question for you all is this: should we be farming and eating more small livestock animals such as goats rather than cows?? (Do goats have less impact on the environment? Are they cost effective? Nutritional? What does Goat meat taste like with Diane Sauce?)
My next question is: does any body want to join me for some goat??

Haven't done my research into goat but it's still cloven-hoofed and eats almost anything so I imagine can do a fair bit of damage.
ReplyDeleteIf they only have goat meat I'd skip it but they probably have other dishes in which case I'm always keen to try another local restaurant.
I've tried the goat meat restaurant and survived! But it's not good after about 9:30/10-ish on Fri or Sat nights, when there's loud Vietnamese karaoke. Would be prepared to try it again - perhaps we could make it another Marrickville event?
