I’ve been bugging my friend @derricknguyen13 whose Vietnamese food you’ve likely seen me share on Instagram, to make his dishes available for sale (because they are too freaking delicious!), has finally done so! Please follow him on @greenlotuskitchen.sg.

As he is new to this, Derrick is keeping his menu and quantity small to ensure there’s no compromise to quality and taste. You’ll basically enjoy exactly what he prepares for his family and friends. All the recipes he uses have been taught to him by his wife @liltune’s mum and sisters over many years. He is starting off with just the Bún Thịt Nướng for now.

A long-time favourite of mine, this Vietnamese classic meant to be eaten at room temperature, is essentially an Asian salad with protein. It features extremely well-marinated grilled meat on rice noodles with fresh vegetables and herbs, and is served with a light fish sauce-based dressing.

Meant to be eaten at room temperate, I love his version as it is really tasty from the smoky boneless meat (it boasts a fantastic sweet-savoriness), yet feels rather healthy because I know he uses good ingredients and preps his food with care and attention.

Since some people aren’t into pork, he is offering the dish with grilled chicken too as shown in my video. I have eaten both and they are equally shiok but if I was forced to choose, the pork would be it.
