Kim Chau Vietnamese Deli

Submitted by Barb on Sun, 06/11/2000 - 06:04

Kim Chau has a great assortment of deli delights that you won't find in other deli's.

One of the main features is Kim Chau's selection of Vietnamese sandwiches. These subs marry French influenced crusty rolls with Vietnamese fillings like assorted deli meats, pate, meatballs and shredded tofu, and lightly pickled vegetables. They're a real steal for under $3!

You can also buy the deli meats, fish and meatballs and other ready to cook deli ingredients and condiments to cook up your own Vietnamese delicacies.

Submitted by Barb on Sat, 06/10/2000 - 07:24

It's very difficult to try to narrow down my favourite eateries. There are so many fabulous restaurants in Vancouver, that I've got a favourite in almost every category, price range and style of dining. Here are a few of my current fave spots. As a foodie's palate is fickle, these are subject to change at any time!

1 cup asparagus, cut in 1" pieces
1 roma tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 large red pepper, diced
1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Salt, pepper
1 cup arugula

Drain and rinse beans. Blanch asparagus briefly.

Adobo

Submitted by Roland on Thu, 06/08/2000 - 13:30

7 cloves garlic crushed
7 tablespoons red wine vinegar
7 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 pound pork cut into bite size chunks

Combine all ingredients and marinate in fridge for as long as you wish. The longer the better.

Bring to a boil and simmer on low until pork is done (usually about 10 minutes).

You can use chicken or a mixture of chicken and pork instead. You can also vary the amount of sauce depending on how saucy you like it.

The trick is to keep the 1 part vinegar, 1 part soy sauce, 1 part garlic ratio.
