Vietnamese spring rolls
Vietnamese Broken Rice with pan-fried pork chops, a fried egg, shredded pork skins 猪皮 and cucumber. Special fish sauce is poured over the rice and condiments and mixed together well before eating
SM baked a cake for the dinner
WE WERE AT MARY AND JIM'S GLEN WAVERLEY HOME for dinner. This was planned a week ago when we had home-cooked pho. Mary is a cook cook. I requested Vietnamese Broken rice 越南碎米饭 and it was something we had before and enjoyed.
One other pleasant surprise was we were also served Vietnamese spring rolls which are basically shredded chicken with Vietnamese mint, vermicelli, and cooked prawns wrapped in Vietnamese rice papers. How we eat is we dip them into a bowl of fish sauce mixed with peanuts and chili.
One of the things we talked about was how hard life was in Saigon back in 1975. Mary's parental family had had a big piece of land near Da Nang which they had to forgo when the commies confiscated South Vietnamese people's properties. She still has the land title but it is now a waste paper.
Life was very hard.........
