After having a great Bún Mắm Sóc Trăng in the Mekong Delta, I was curious to see what the Aussie version was like. Julia's first reaction was that it was very fishy, like um rotten fish. Well, that's because that's what it was :P The Bún Mắm Sóc Trăng in the Mekong Delta had the same fermented undertones, but it was more subtle, due no doubt to the skill in balancing flavours. Otherwise, this noodle dish was good, with slippery soft rice noodles, fresh fillets of fish, blanched garlic chives and chunks of frozen prawn and squid. All the requisite toppings. --- A friendly little store with loads of fried foods in the bain marie. Deep fried tofu, sand whiting, chicken wings, they all looked crunchy and golden! Thanks to Rayson for uncovering this. I'd never ventured this way before :) Bac 8 03 9574 0988 Shop 8, 268-274 Springvale Rd Springvale VIC 3171 Open 7 days 8am-5:30pm http://flic.kr/p/8nibG2

Tequila Jalapeno Quesadillas with Ocean Trout and Corn - Bluecorn Mexican Restaurant AUD13.50 Fresh flavours and great value! The slabs of fresh corn kernels were tender and juicy, so was the fish. --- After doing some inline-skating at Port Melbourne, we headed off to St Kilda to grab some lunch. Julia had heard good things about the Bluecorn Mexican restaurant, and so Mexican it was. As it turns out, the food there was quite good. More authentic Mexican, and less Tex-Mex that is full of cheese and sour cream. Because it was before noon, only the breakfast menu was available, which was actually cheaper than the lunch menu! Always a fan of the soft corn tortillas, we ordered a quesadilla. This was no ordinary quesadilla. This was a Tequila Jalapeno quesadilla, filled with juicy ocean trout, fresh corn, black beans, shredded lettuce, and topped with cheese and salsa. Very yummy! We were going to order another dish from the lunch menu once that was available, but we didn't need to because the serves were big enough to fill us both! After a fiery brunch, we had a gelati from 7 Apples to cool off. The gelati was nice and smooth, and not as sweet as some.

Beef Noodle Soup 牛肉面 -hand-pulled noodles, five spice broth Remarkable dish, and on many levels: Chinese noodles are, first and foremost, about the noodles. Liang's Kitchen does a phenomenal job - although clearly hand-made, noodles in this soup were uniform in thickness and texture - and beyond anything imaginable. Perfect and uniform thickness, just the right bite, soft enough but not mushy, chewy with a touch of a bite - no rubbery textures were as much as implied though. Is there such thing as a $6.50 masterpiece? Broth was outstanding too - seasoned just right, not too much but not shy on seasoning either. Beef was braised to perfection - just like my grandmother use to make, may be better. Notice, the soup was garnished with chopped pickled mustard greens - not something I have seen before, but a welcome and flavorful garnish nonetheless.

Cauliflower Cheese for dinner this evening... You can't see it in the photo, but there's a layer of vegetables in the base, stir fried until soft. I used onion, garlic, courgette, red pepper and chilli this time. Often I add some stir fried chicken breast to the base too. The cauliflower is steamed and then put on top of the bed of vegetables. I then made a cheese sauce, adding some mustard and cayenne, which is poured over the cauliflower. Finally top with grated parmesan and another sprinkling of cayenne for good measure. Bake in the oven until golden brown on top. [IMG_1049] http://flic.kr/p/3G1E3

Filled with Tofutti vegan cream cheese, jalapeno, white pepper, scallions and garlic.
Served with sweet chili sauce.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
-1 package Twin Marquis or Any (Vegan if necessary) premade Wonton sheets
-Tofutti cream cheese (I used 2 containers)
-White peppercorns and a mill (or black pepper in a pinch will do!)
-1 Jalapeno (chopped)
-2 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
-2 or 3 Scallions (green and white parts chopped)
-Salt (optional) Mix "cheese," jalapeno, garlic and scallions together well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture and add to each wonton wrapper that you fill. Wet your finger and dampen the 4 sides of the wonton square.
Fold 2 opposing corners and seal sides with your finger to create a triangle. The water will act as a glue. If you care to, fold the other 2 opposing corners to create a more intricate wonton, sealing corners with a damp finger. Preheat oven to 400˚ F - Lay wontons onto a greased cookie sheet. Brush or spray the wontons with olive oil or olive oil spray. Pop in oven for 7 minutes. Turn on broiler and set pan under broiler until desired crispness is achieved. Use your nose to make sure the bottoms do not burn. Take out when golden brown at the edges. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce.
Can be purchased at most supermarkets in the ethnic foods aisle or at your local Asian market - support family owned markets
