ON THE PASS
You grew up in Brisbane with families who were refugees. What do you remember eating? When we first arrived, we had our first taste of Western food. It was really interesting to see all these newly landed Vietnamese people eating cheese-and-Vegemite sandwiches for lunch and roasts and lasagne for dinner. It was so different to what I knew.
Absolutely! My mum’s cooking inspired me to open my first Pho Nom. Her specialty is Hu Tieu Nam Vang (a rice-noodle dish in a clear chicken and pork-bone broth)
