Little one invited a sleepover guest and requested bánh mì for dinner ...

 

Started by making xá xíu from a nice slab of pork belly …

Our favorite place for bánh mì in Hong Kong always had some great squid fritters as a starter for their lunch menu. I replicated them successfully - much to the delight of the kids …

Served with fresh lime soda …

Bread came from a Turkish bakery - very light, very crisp … best substitute for Vietnamese bread I have found so far. Generously spread with paté, followed by mayo, Vietnamese hoisin with a dash of Maggi, plenty of xá xíu and topped with pickled carrot, cucumber and cilantro. A fried egg for good measure.

Some (commercial) Baumkuchen for dessert & a nice Ghibli movie for kids & adults …

Lazy man sheet-pan chicken thighs.  Roasted along with carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, garlic and Caraflex cabbage.

Absolutely love a roasted cabbage 🌸

We have a regular Saturday afternoon catch up by video with a friend from our old stomping ground.
Sundowners is a term used in the Northern Territory of Australia referring to drinks as the sun goes down after a hard days work. I know it has an alternative meaning, this isn’t it. She has the same Christian name as me, so we’re known as “the two Carolines” and we do sundowners on Saturday.

It looks interesting. What is it made of, though? The filling, the sauce... 🙂 

The sauce is Worcestershire Sauce, Tomato ketchup, Tabasco and Bacon like they do on the oysters. The Dim Sim filling? Anyone's guess depending on the brand 😅. But usually pork and cabbage, and we're talking lips and *ss hole pork like sausages. Still delicious. 

 

And Salty.
