I first saw Wrap & Roll in The Star Vista and thought it only sells Vietnamese rice paper rolls. That is, until my dining companions and I saw it over the weekend in Ion Orchard. We were looking for a place to lunch before our Christmas shopping and decided to eat at the contemporary casual dining restaurant from Ho Chi Minh, after trying a sample of its Grilled Pork Steamed Rice Crepe Rolls – tender pork full of flavour from the marinade with a nice charred aroma. The award-winning chain was established in 2006 and currently has more than 10 branches in Australia, Singapore and Vietnam. According to the website, it is the first Vietnamese restaurant on our sunny shores to serve freshly made steamed rice paper rolls. Every dish is delicately handmade with more than 50% of the ingredients imported from Vietnam to maintain its authenticity. For quality control, the chefs are trained in Vietnam for a month while chefs from Vietnam will train the staff here every 6 months.
