Sunday in My City: Cabramatta

Lunch is special on Sunday. As winter approaches one of my favourite places to go for lunch is Cabramatta. Cabramatta is a suburb of Sydney with a large Vietnamese community and you can get the best Phở (beef noodle soup) this side of Ho Chi Minh City.

Cabramatta has a image problem. It was once an area with a reputation for drug related crime but I don't often see any indication that this is still a problem.  Over the years the migrant population have prospered and I feel a sense of progress when I visit the area now.

My lunch.  I'm not much of a food stylist so please forgive the limp basil poking out the top.
Birds Eye Chillies
These chillies could kill a horse.
Sunday in My City hosted by Unknown Mami is the place to go to visit Sunday around the world.

    I'm impressed that you knew it was basil - limp or otherwise! I'll think of you each time I drive by Cabramatta on our occasional trips to the Big Smoke.

    Hey - I have given your "original blog post" a plug on DFF as my read of the week. I "borrowed" your profile picture to advertise it. Hope that is ok? Let me know if you would prefer I use a different picture :)

    Yum! I think photographing food is very difficult without doctoring it up so that it is inedible, so well done.

    The shot of the chillies is amazing!

    Hey Leanne! I love being your original blog post for this week. Thanks! The profile pic is ok. I hate having my photo taken and I always manage a dorky expression.

    I'm in a bit of a blogging hole at the moment. I'm in the middle of the assignment from hell.
