I have yet to try the kind of spring rolls one wraps oneself. They are
on the menu, but the descriptions are rather spartan, for example "bun
thit nuong, rau thom", translated as rice noodles with grilled pork and
herbs. So far, I've tried only salad rolls, served cold. They
contained some green vegetables and a few small prawns, wrapped in
transparent rice paper. They were very bland, even with the dipping
sauce and I didn't like them much.
