JD and I normally dine together on Saturday evenings. Last Saturday, however, she was away for the long weekend ending on Monday. She obviously missed our Saturday, however, as she texted me on Tuesday morning (6th), asking if we could have breakfast together. I got the text a bit late for that so I took her to the "Buncha Buncha" North Vietnamese restaurant at Stone's corner that night. Their cuisine is different from the normal South Vietnamese cuisine that we all now know so well
I had the smoked pork dish and JD had a sort of chicken rissoles. Both were good. But the remarkable feature of the menu was the crumbed rolls mainly containing seafood: The nem Hanoi. They were very substantial and very tasty. I took some home and they were still excellent the next day. Quite different from any other rolls
On the way home, we picked up a dessert from Aldi-- Mango sorbet. We took it back to my place. First we had a cup of tea then the dessert. After that we watched part of an operetta on DVD. We were both a bit tired before we had watched much of the operetta so called it a night at that stage: a very pleasant night
