Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 325
Today's Daily 5:
You Ask, I Answer, Take 8
Today's question comes from Christianne again. She asked:
Hands down the answer to that is a Vietnamese dish that appears on the menus here as "bun". There are good Vietnamese restaurants on almost every corner here in Calgary, and one of my favorites is about a 5 minute walk from my parent's place. It's called Bow River Restaurant. The variety of "bun" that I love is a bed of rice vermicelli, with lettuce, cucumber, shredded pickled carrots, bean sprouts, peanuts, grilled pork and spring rolls on top of it, and then doused with this "fish sauce" (more like a sweet tangy slighly spicy sauce with bits of chili and carrot in it) and a bit of hoisin sauce It is SO good. Best of all, a huge bowl, which will often feed me for two meals is usually prepared in about 10 minutes of waiting in a restaurant, and usually costs around $10.
In general, I like most ethnic food. I draw the line at anything that at one point lived in water or swam. I don't do fish or seafood. I also don't do bugs. If I eat out in Calgary and it's not fast food of some sort, it's almost always at an ethnic restaurant of some sort. In the last several months I've had Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, Italian and Mexican, and quite possibly a few others besides!
What is your favorite food?
