It's an ongoing challenge to eat healthy when on the run. I was particularly thrilled when I realised the Vietnamese restaurant, Rice Paper on Swanston St had a takeaway counter for those who perhaps did not have the time for a sit-down meal. The takeaway counter situated right outside their entrance sold only rice paper rolls but that is more than ok by me. They came in a sturdy takeaway box with a little container of hoi sin sauce.
I ordered a chicken and salad filled one.
And a lemongrass pork one.
To be honest, I didn't really enjoy these and they would be the first rice paper rolls (store bought or home made) that I didn't like. They were airy and insubstantial, made of mainly salad leaves and little else. I had to really seek out the chicken or the pork hiding within.
For a few cents per roll extra I would much prefer the rice paper rolls at Roll'd. I wouldn't mind going back to Rice Paper to try their sit down menu but I would definitely be giving their rice paper rolls a miss.
Until next time...
