Sunday lunch with my dearest

Last Sunday we visited mom and dad, as we do, and enjoyed a lunch with them. We took them to I Spicy on Victoria St, Richmond for Thai. 

We had a beautiful Pork Shank cooked slowly, apparently, for 3 hours; in five spice herbs and then deep fried until crispy and served with a spicy sauce. Hmmm, yum.

We had a poor dish, deep fried kang kung served with something like a tom yam. yuck.

We had a deep fried barramundi, an ok dish.

We had some fish cakes, which are always good, as a Thai entree. Mom and dad thought the dishes were tasty.




After lunch we had a cuppa in nearby Abbotsford. Lovely, quaky atmosphere in this cafe and I always have a weakness for Abbotsford. There is a mix of old Victorian homes and newer apartments and units. There is also so much human activity going on in Little Vietnam and there are plentiful cafes and restaurants. So in my view, a place to be, and a good day.
