Yummy indeed, I never made pork rolls but shrimp rolls. Ingredient: shrimps, fine rice noodles, mint and Thai basil leaves, soy sprouts, some very fine slice of carrots, lettuce… delicious, I will try to make some very soon!

Fish O fish! Lunch is mullet, with lemongrass, Vietnamese fish sauce. I cooked some mushrooms as side (didn’t photographed) and eat everything with Jasmin rice.
In Cambodia, Phnom Penh to be precise, I had fried fish served with “nuoc cham” which had shredded green mango in the fish sauce. I liked it so much I went back and had it again. The meal was so simple and delicious that I still remember eating it more than 10 years later.
Yesterday I overestimated the amount of pressed garlic I used in the “nuoc cham”! I always drink this sauce and end up drinking lots of water later. Yes, I drink it but with the food lol…
Today I get to stay home in the afternoon but unfortunately I can’t make any nice savoury lunch due to an unexpected temporary annoyance.
The last square of leftover potato gratin, topped with pan-fried mushrooms and two fried eggs over easy. Mm-mm-good.

Quiche and arugula. The quiche had carmalized onions, spinach, turkey bacon, and smoked Gouda. The arugula just had lemon juice, evoo, salt, and pepper.

I think that’s all arugula needs. Sometimes I’ll shave a little Parm over it. It goes so well with rich foods.

We went to our favorite Korean place for lunch. We shared a veggie pancake, bibimbap, and a tofu hot pot.

Is this the same Korean place where you had octopus pancakes? I had kimchi hot pot in Osaka. There are probably all kinds of spicy hot pot dishes in Korean cuisine. The tofu one looks good, too. Is the tofu silky soft?
Mine today. Wet snow outside and it’s so dark at 2pm.
Had to pump up the brightness considerably due to darkness.

Different place. The seafood pancake was in Korea Town and I only find myself there once a month or so. My regular place is in the burbs, but still very good. The tofu is very soft and silky and the broth is rich with a slight spice.
I have never cooked squid etc. at home…maybe time to change that soon.
Everybody seafood for lunch! Same here, steamed sea bass with lemongrass, garlic and nuoc nam. I just love nuoc nam, always add an extra touch.

Another rendition of butter & lemon braised endive for a very, very late lunch. Love that stuff.

Oh no, another miserable weekend! The weather that is! I sent the partner to the market to pick up a few things quickly, in the meantime I made this savoury rice porridge. Partner returned just in time to eat it together. So it was actually our second lunch. First lunch is always my favourite though: bread and cheeses (and more).
Looks like wallpaper paste LOL…
Beef balls lurking somewhere in there
Crunchy mustard tubers and bamboo shoots

Hurrah. Someone else who isn’t colour blind! Those French with their “crevettes grise”, eh? HAH!
As you’ll know, we have them off the coast of northwest England where many end up in our classic potted shrimps.
Yes, they are clearly mottled brown (due to extreme high iodine content, I remember reading it somewhere before). In Belgium it’s also called “grey shrimp”.
Some quick info (in pdf format).

Snacks for lunch. It was warm and sunny so this seemed patio appropriate. Apple, bresaola, spicy salami, nduja, avocado, and two cheeses.
