Vietnamese cuisine has long been celebrated for its balance of fresh herbs, vibrant flavours and comforting home-style cooking. Staying true to these traditions while introducing new culinary creations, An Viet Malaysia has expanded its menu with a selection of new dishes alongside several of its signature best sellers, offering diners even more reasons to return.
The latest menu showcases a delightful mix of appetisers, hearty mains and refreshing desserts that reflect Vietnam’s diverse regional flavours.
A Delightful Start with the An Viet Sharing Platter
Perfect for sharing, the An Viet Sharing Platter brings together several of the restaurant’s popular appetisers on a single plate. The platter includes Fresh Spring Rolls with Tiger Prawn, Fried Spring Rolls, Ha Long Squid Cake, Savoury Rice Flour Pudding and Fish Sauce Chicken Wings.
Each item offers its own unique character. The Fresh Spring Rolls are light and refreshing, with crunchy vegetables complementing the sweetness of the tiger prawns. The Fried Spring Rolls provide a satisfying crisp exterior with a well-seasoned filling, while the Ha Long Squid Cake delivers a springy texture and natural seafood sweetness.
One of the pleasant surprises is the Savoury Rice Flour Pudding, which offers a silky smooth texture topped with savoury ingredients that create a comforting bite. The Fish Sauce Chicken Wings stand out with their crispy skin coated in a sweet, savoury and mildly tangy glaze that keeps diners reaching for another piece.
Vietnamese Crispy Pancake Brings Texture and Flavour
The Vietnamese Crispy Pancake (Bánh Xèo) is another highlight among the new offerings. Golden and crispy on the outside, the pancake is generously filled with fresh ingredients that create a satisfying contrast between its crunchy shell and tender interior.
Wrapped together with fresh herbs and vegetables before dipping into the accompanying fish sauce, every bite offers layers of freshness, savouriness and a gentle tang that are synonymous with authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
Simple Yet Satisfying Grilled Pork Skewers
The Grilled Pork Skewers showcase how simple ingredients can shine when prepared well. The pork is beautifully grilled, retaining its juiciness while carrying an aromatic smoky fragrance from the grill.
The marinade strikes a pleasant balance between savoury and slightly sweet flavours, making it an enjoyable appetiser or side dish that pairs well with rice or vermicelli.
A Bowl Full of Bold Flavours
For those who enjoy a little heat, the Hue Style Spicy Beef & Pork Vermicelli (Bún Bò Huế) delivers a robust and flavourful broth inspired by Central Vietnam.
The soup carries a rich depth of flavour with a gentle spicy kick that warms without overwhelming the palate. Tender slices of beef, pork and silky vermicelli absorb the aromatic broth beautifully, creating a comforting bowl that is both satisfying and authentic.
Stir-Fried Bitter Gourd that Wins Over Diners
Even those who are usually hesitant about bitter gourd may find themselves pleasantly surprised by the Stir-Fried Bitter Gourd with Tiger Prawn.
The bitterness is well balanced, allowing the natural sweetness of the tiger prawns to shine through. The vegetables remain crisp and fresh while the prawns are cooked just right, creating a healthy dish with excellent texture and flavour balance.
Signature Dishes Continue to Impress
Among An Viet’s established favourites, the Clam in Coconut Broth with Thin Vermicelli remains one of the restaurant’s standout dishes. The broth is creamy yet light, combining the natural sweetness of fresh coconut with the briny freshness of clams. The delicate vermicelli absorbs the fragrant soup beautifully, making every spoonful rich yet comforting.
The Hanoian Style Fish with Turmeric & Dill with Vermicelli offers another authentic Vietnamese experience. The fish is delicately cooked, infused with the earthy aroma of turmeric and the distinctive fragrance of fresh dill. Served alongside vermicelli, the combination creates a refreshing and flavourful meal that is both light and satisfying.
Those looking for hearty comfort food should not miss the Stewed Chestnut Pork Belly with Rice. The pork belly is slow-cooked until wonderfully tender, while the rich savoury sauce pairs perfectly with steamed rice. The chestnuts contribute a natural sweetness and soft texture that complements the melt-in-the-mouth pork.
Meanwhile, the Lemongrass Chicken with Rice continues to be a crowd favourite. The chicken is juicy and aromatic, with the fragrance of lemongrass enhancing every bite. Its balanced seasoning makes it an ideal everyday meal for diners seeking familiar Vietnamese flavours.
Sweet Endings
The meal concludes on a delightful note with two distinctive desserts.
The Butter Sugar Bánh Mì with Coffee is a nostalgic treat that combines crispy toasted Vietnamese baguette coated with butter and sugar, served together with aromatic Vietnamese coffee. The buttery sweetness contrasts beautifully with the bold coffee, creating a simple yet addictive dessert that works equally well as an afternoon snack.
For something more refreshing, the Iced Vietnamese Banana Coconut Milk offers a cooling tropical finish. Creamy coconut milk blends harmoniously with sweet bananas and ice, resulting in a dessert that is rich, fragrant and perfect for Malaysia’s warm weather.
With its latest menu expansion, An Viet Malaysia successfully introduces new dishes that remain faithful to authentic Vietnamese flavours while offering something for every palate. From the generously portioned sharing platter and flavour-packed Hue-style vermicelli to comforting signature mains and refreshing desserts, the menu showcases both variety and consistency.
Whether visiting for a casual family meal, gathering with friends or exploring Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, the new offerings provide plenty of reasons to return. Combined with the restaurant’s established favourites, An Viet continues to deliver approachable, comforting and satisfying Vietnamese dining experiences that celebrate the rich culinary heritage of Vietnam.
