"You Choose" — Miss Vietnam

Each week we walk into a restaurant and make the staff order for us

Venue: Miss Vietnam; 155 Bromsgrove St, B5 6AB
Choice: Prawn summer rolls (£4.90) Chooser: Waitress

Last year's winner of Miss Vietnam was Đỗ Mỹ Linh. Congratulations to her. Now, immediately disregard this information because it is of zero use to you. What's more likely helpful is our nudge in the direction of Miss Vietnam, the Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. Previously known as Song Tuoi, it sits next door to Miss Korea (an award which, unhelpfully, was won by Jenny Kim in 2016, but helpfully is also an excellent Korean restaurant). Suitably confused? Great. May we NOT recommend Miss Vietnam's stir fried frog, deep fried frog, nor the duck tongue with chilli and lemongrass. Instead the prawn summer rolls (pictured, top right) and the grilled pork bún (£8.90) are where the cowardly but incredible orders are found. Lighter than a politician's promise, the fragrant prawn parcels are a sunny dish of deep joy, while the pork bún was barbecuey, beauteous and bountiful in equal measure. You'll struggle to find these guys online, which we love, but find them offline on Bromsgrove Street and walk in with confidence that you won't walk out sulking. Just steer clear of that damned frog. Some details
