I was not able to make it for last month’s edition of Delicious Vietnam. My site was down most of that fateful Sunday with server issues. It was hard and frustrating trying get onto those ‘tech support’ via live chat. It was a feeling of hopelessness. I have since changed my host and extremely happy and satisfied with it. So far it has been smooth sailing. I DO NOT recommend anyone to sign up with Fatcow!

We are on a Vietnamese theme this week. Along with the smoked duck rice paper roll that was made over the weekend, I made a vegetarian rice paper roll as well. And as promised earlier in the week, there is the recipe. And I had enough to pack our lunch boxes as well! Who doesn’t love Pho? But Vietnamese food is beyond Pho and through this monthly event started by A food lover’s journey and Ravenous Couple, it gives me the opportunity to explore more into the Vietnamese cuisine and its culture. I had no plan and what I bought from the market was a little random as you can see. And what I have also included in the mix is the smoked duck that we bought from Bruny’s Island. It isn’t exactly Vietnamese but looking at the expiry date, it will have to do. I will suggest getting roast duck instead of using smoked duck. Including in the mix were fish floss and crispy rice cakes that I did not use. Shall leave it for another time. I have other ideas for it. It has been awhile since we have tried anything new places in Footscray. We always end up in the same Pho restuarants or just grabbing some roast duck takeaway from Golden Harvest. There has been a couple of new faces but for some reason we stayed away and preferred to stick to the oldies but goodies. We have walked past this restaurant several times and never thought of going in. It was very modern and it seems like what Phil said, is the new generation of restaurants that we popping up in this area. Anyway, after reading Ms Baklover’s review and also having a chat with Phil Lees at the Eat Drink Blog conference, a decision was made to visit Sapa Hills, the newish kid on the block to try the Bo La Lot.  |
