However, it’s great that I can now finally sit down at a table at a restaurant again, and time away from the internet just to see what the local outside world is doing, is beneficial.
There’s only so many ‘fart videos’you can see on the TikTok app before the novelty begins to wane somewhat. Chuckle.
The staff at the Pho Linh know my name on sight without having to ask me, which is a good sign I’m building my local reputation. They are polite and friendly, and know that I am a sucker for their Banh Mi (or meat rolls in English).
They’ll ask ”You want chilli?” and if I want to use my taste buds for the next 30 minutes after eating, I politely decline: “No chilli.”.
All of the Vietnamese people I know LOVE chilli for some reason.
The banh mi are made while you watch, so you could order a vegetarian version or modify it if you wished.
Luckily I hadn’t eaten all day, because the main meal was actually bigger than I had expected.
The image above is actually somewhat misleading, you see. This was unintentional of course, it’s just the camera angle. The pile of food was probably the height of the tines of the fork in the picture and the plate was massive.
The meal consisted of red capsicum (bell peppers) cauliflower, broccoli, prawns, pork, chicken, beef, cabbage, squid, tofu, mushrooms, onions, bean sprouts and buried discretely are the thin egg noodles. The whole thing is soaking in an unknown but amazing Asian sauce. Incredible!
It truly is mouthwatering stuff.
I hope you enjoyed this particular entry. I have several more entries planned for you to enjoy, but that’s all for this week.
Until next time, see you in the kitchen!
