It's a shame there aren't any mid-range Vietnamese places in Dubai.
I'm going to give it a go. As long as they can serve pork and provide me Cao Lau then I'm a happy man.

Seem to remember my first night in Dubai when visiting was in the Shangri-Helmet and they served me a fry up the following morning with chicken sausage and beef bacon so now I'm unsure...

Just to clarify, Hanoi in JLT (and Dragonmart): cheap and definitely cheerful (if the same as the AD one).

Looks like no love lost for McCririck in the comments section.
I am surprised McCririck lasted this long.
