It was the first dinner in Perth for Z, i decided to do a 'Vietnamese Cuisine' Day for Z and my other guests - Laura & J, J has been friends with Z for nearly 11 years, since days at Victoria sch, the last time they met was a year back when Z was here to visit me.
Preparation for beef broth required hours of fine tuning and the secret to the broth was the process of having the whole onion and ginger flamed over naked fire, making it charred and after that peeling the charred skin off and soaking it both in the broth.
J, Z and I spend the whole afternoon rolling rice paper roll, had snow pea sprouts, grilled chicken with hoisin sauce, prawns, mint, carrots and capsicum in them, first two rolls were awful looking and so we ate them up! We had so much fun that we ended up folding heaps of rice paper roll that 7 of us couldn't finish.
My housemates and guests were so entertained by Laura, she was our only 'White' guest this evening, and had the honour of 6 Asians' company. She talked about London and her hometown and how dangerous it was back home with shooting, stabbing and drug dealings being common, how shocking i thought! It was such a culture exchange session just now. Laura will be travelling to the Eastern states in 2 weeks time, not sure when will i ever see her again.
