I got hooked to salads, thanks to the Melbourne culture.So many Asian stores.I am a vegetarian and have been meatless and eggfree for last 20 years.It is one of the best cities to be a vegan.I occasionally use honey.Thank you to all the chefs who cater to countless people who got allergies or want a simple meat free existence.Melbourne Australia has a very cosmopolitan feel to it.It is an amalgamation of cuisines,cultures and religions.You are accepted as You are and that is the best part of it.
Are Vietnamese salads healthy?
Yes.It is full of Vitamin A and E due to fresh herbs,spices and plenty of vegetables.
As people settle in this Masterchef special city,the culture pot keeps growing and overflowing.Also, fresh greens and veggies are a huge contributor to all those chef inspirations.
I must say thanks to the farmer, a big contributor to this culture curry.
