Kris and Toby were visiting, and were interested in food that they could not
get at home. We took them to Mùi Ngò Gai (2408 Nanaimo)
for a selection of non-pho Vietnamese dishes.
Mùi Ngò Gai
Bánh bột lọc tôm thịt gói ló chuối - Steamed pork and shrimp tapioca dumpling wrapped in a fragrant banana leaf
Unwrapped - Yummy!
Thịt bò nướng lá lốt - Barbequed ground beef wrapped Piper leaf with noodles, basil, and lettuce to wrap - just as good as the ones we got on the street in Saigon
Canh chua cá hoặc tôm - Hot and sour fish (basa) soup - is sooo appetising that I continued to eat it long after I got full
Thịt kho tộ - Caramelised pork - rich and flavourful
