Discoveries at the Little Saigon Market and a Vietnamese Restaurant.


Little Saigon Market

The Grade 3/4's went on a long journey to the Asian Market in Footscray.
There was a range of fruits and vegetables, meat and fish, and a deli market. We saw and tried lots of different foods we have never seen before such as Pomelo, Mangosteens and Kwima.

We had a task to buy one or two ingredients for an Asian inspired dish, that we planned to cook for our families at home. We recorded the cost of our food.

After we did our shopping at the market, we visited a Vietnamese restaurant and ate delicious, fragrant, sweet Pho with noodles, bean shoots and side of green tea.

We really enjoyed our experience at the market.

      We were wondering did the students in England eat different food to us? What did they eat?
