Anon, the fish cake is not on the menu but you can see them at the front of the salad section of the bain marie at Nhu Lan - they look like vegie burgers. The tofu is on the menu wall but on its own separate poster. Other options are the mini banh mi which are about $2.40. Get two with two different flavours!<br /><br />M&P, glad you enjoyed it!

Which park off Leeds, not Maddern Square?? Another secret is that Nhu Lan sell mini banh mi for like $2.50, so you could get two different mini sandwiches to fit more flavours in. Bonus!!<br /><br />Make sure you try Ba Le in Leeds - not 100% my cup of tea but others swear by it. Great value at $3 a roll. Tan Truc Giang in Leeds do fantastic roast pork rolls - get the vege rice paper rolls as well.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-9442259987108753982011-03-16T11:50:09.129+11:002011-03-16T11:50:09.129+11:00Love your blog, and thanks so much for the heads u...Love your blog, and thanks so much for the heads up on Nhu Lan.

There's something about the combination of caramelised onions, crushed peanuts and fish sauce that reacts to have a vaguely unpleasant plastic taste for me.<br /><br />That being said, everything else there is awesome. I just wish they did a banh mi op la (fried egg). I see Fresh Chilli has bacon and egg on their menu... Might have to try it, sans bacon!cloudcontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166808960017060326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-51967225174143906912011-03-14T10:14:32.047+11:002011-03-14T10:14:32.047+11:00Emelia, that is such a great tip!
