PICKUP & TAKE-AWAY

4 Course Dinner – FOR TWO

Bún Măng Vịt

This Oakland Restaurant Week special will begin with a real treat as I prepare for my neighbors a dish that’s seldom offered in the Bay Area, Bún Măng Vịt  … a delicious DUCK soup & salad, with rice noodles and sliced bamboo. This will be a serving FOR TWO!

The broth in my Bún Măng Vịt is “quiet” (that’s the way I describe a subtly delicious flavor – not “loud”, screaming of sharp spices and intense flavors.) The thick slices of crunchy bamboo will add the perfect texture contrast among the soft rice noodles.

I’ll include a generous portion of moist and flavorful duck meat. The duck is served on a bed of finely shredded cabbage, carrot, and daikon.

The accompanying dipping sauce, a blend of sweet quả quất (tangerine), ginger, garlic, and chili, will provide the perfect light, sweet & tangy contrast to the heavier flavors of the duck meat.

You can read about one of Joe’s favorite encounters with Bún Măng Vịt.

Pork-Stuffed Mushrooms

Next, you can both enjoy an order of Joe’s “nearly famous” pork-stuffed mushrooms (usually 5-6 mushrooms, depending upon the mushroom size).

 

… an extra treat – 6 pack of frozen CHẢ GIÒ

I’ll also offer a bag of 6 frozen Chả Gio – Crispy Pork & Shrimp Spring Roll.  You can keep these in your freezer and fry them up anytime you get the urge for a yummy treat 🙂

Finally, dessert!

I’ll be offering a serving of my chilled home-made Vietnamese yogurt as a refreshing after-dinner treat.   (Or as a yummy morning snack the next day)
