Mama’s Spring Rolls
If you’d like to whet your appetite with the finest flavors around, you’ll want to order up the Mama’s Spring Rolls. To create this starter, they pile on the pork, shrimp, crab, Kapu Farms lettuce, vermicelli noodles, and P&L house pickles. Then, they drizzle on the nuoc mam before rolling it up and dunking them in the deep fryer until golden brown.
Pho French Dip
For Banh Mi to remember, don’t hesitate to treat yourself to the Pho French Dip at The Pig and The Lady. To kick off this tasty sandwich, they put beef brisket in the slow cooker for 12 hours to get melt-in-your-mouth tender. Once you put in your order, they take a toasted La Tour baguette and put their sliced brisket on one side. Over that, they add sauteed bean sprouts, onion, and cilantro plus spicy hoisin and Thai basil chimichurri. Alongside, you get their signature pho 75 broth as your au jus dip.
Kiawe Smoke Chicken Leg
The Kiawe Smoke Chicken Leg never fails to impress with its complex flavors in every bite. This popular entrée at The Pig and The Lady begins with rubbing the chicken legs in a creative Jamaican Jerk-inspired rub featuring mac khen pepper. After that, the chicken goes into the smoker until perfectly cooked and lands on the plate alongside cabbage and herb salad and jasmine rice.
