To my surprise, the Bun Thit Nuong from @greenlotuskitchen.sg received enthusiastic praises from my parents. I must admit, I’d had slight reservations when placing my order because my parents have always preferred their noodles piping hot. And this Vietnamese dish is meant to be eaten at room temperature. Chockfull of top quality raw vegetables (no deadbeat specimens here), fresh herbs and homemade pickles, and served with a light yet complex Vietnamese fish sauce-based dressing alongside, it can also be categorised as an Asian salad with the bonus of an extremely tasty protein.
I picked the pork version for us and the meat was superbly done for every bowl. Each slice was smoky, aromatic and flavourful from the lip-smacking marinate and being grilled just right by @derricknguyen13 (he’s a stickler for perfection). I made sure we followed his instructions which is to toss the contents in the bowl for a minute before eating as it ensures optimum tastiness.

Unfortunately, you will have to wait to try this dish as Derrick has just switched his menu to #Pho (but let me tell you from my experience, he does an EXCELLENT one as well!). Most of his order slots for May have been snapped up but if you hurry, you might be able to squeeze yourself in.
