When Old Favourites Go Bad

Vietnamese chicken noodle soup and fresh spring rolls are one of my most loved meals. 

Good examples:

Beautiful, deceptively simple, bursting with flavour, fresh ingredients, lots of lime... I could go on and on



Bad examples:

My lunch today from my local Kopitiam.  Crab meat in the fresh spring rolls and no spicy peanut dip, three enormous chucks of chicken drowning in MSG-loaded broth, not the slightest hint of lime or chilli.


I'm heading to Ho Chi Minh over Easter where I intend to make up for the combined total of my poor pho/spring roll experiences in one long weekend. 

Bring. It. On!
