I am jealous of all the home-cooked amazing food you must be eating in Malaysia right now!<br /><br />Essjayeff - you're on!!! :)<br /><br />Deb - no, you read right - it is Nhu Lan of Footscray. They have another branch in Richmond, which might have added to the confusion. Not sure if it is as good, though!<br /><br />Ravenous Couple - we had a ball! Thank you for hosting the event!<br /><br />Penny - thank you for letting us drop crumbs all over your kitchen. Looking forward to reading your writeup, too!<br /><br />Kurichan - when I got your comment originally, Mr Baklover had literally just gotten back from buying a hangover banh mi from Nhu Lan, so you may have unwittingly crossed paths! Glad you liked Dumplings & More. I hope the "spicy kick" was a good thing! ;)<br /><br />Thang - I'm dying to go to Cabra. Was talking to a friend who knows it quite well and she said it's Footscray in overdrive. Hope you enjoy Lee Lee!<br /><br />Anh - wished you could have been there! I am sooo up for pho hunting. Just let me know time and place and I am there. :)Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-30409238893637762992010-06-15T14:33:33.039+10:002010-06-15T14:33:33.039+10:00Oh, misread, was reading too early, prizewinner is...Oh, misread, was reading too early, prizewinner is not in footscray.

The seaweed salad sure had a spicy kick! In all, it made for a nice lunch for me and hubby, dumplings and the lamb skewers as well!
