#botchien

Had noodles with meatball for breakfast. Me and Shelvia sneaked out again to get some drink after teaching morning class. Thank god I got some simple phrases in Vietnamese right. I ordered coffee while Shelvia ordered sunshine milk tea.

Breakfast.

We had afternoon classes today too as the children are on holiday so they won’t be having classes at school. They weren't having interest to study as they just finished their exams and one of them was DIY-ing a house. It was pretty cool.

Was so happy cause there was veggie in my lunch today. We later discussed our new year plan with the sisters and they allowed us to go to the city on new year eve to celebrate. Yayyy!

Sister Trang prepared us fried rice cake (bot chien) and jackfruit. heheh It was one of the student’s birthday and we celebrated with him at our gazebo. So lovely to see each other celebrating together :)

MMMM MY FAV: Bot Chien, Viet street food

So starting odd the new year with a post on one of my new fav! (As of the past year since discovering it at one of the take-away Viet places I frequent in China town.)  Essentially its fried rice cake with eggs and scallions with chili sauce and sweet soy sauce as condiments. It's so dam satisfying. You can actually buy mix in Asian markets for the rice cake if you want to make it at home too. However, I prefer just  picking it up when I'm out versus making it at home, which I suppose is the original intention of the dish seeing how its a street food.

If I can remember the name of the place I get it at I'll share! (Toronto, Spadina, north of Dundas close to Hong Kong Island Bakery)

Happy New Years!

here;s a link of people making it...
