I need your help!

Do any of you ever go to Viatnamese restaurants to eat or take-out? It's one of my favourite types of foods.

Was waiting for baby to wake up from nap to go do groceries, then it got so late we decided to go to a fast dinner (our fridge is empty!), plans changed yet again when he he woke up with a fever and was really sad. The only place he was happy was on my chest. So I told Jeff and Carson to go out for dinner and bring me home Viatnamese.

YUM!

So I ordered a steamed vermicelli with grilled beef & chicken and two rice paper rolls (with shrimp).

Looking back it would have made total sense to take a picture of my dinner before it ended up in my tummy, but I am still getting used to taking pictures of food. My camera is normally focussed on my two children, so I have to make a mental note to start taking it in the kitchen more often.

But you know the dish I am talking about, right?

The big bed of vermicelli with a skewer or beef, with shredded lettuce mixed with mint, carrots and bean sprouts and a sprinkle of peanuts? A little dish of fish sauce (mixed with something) on the side that you pour over the whole pate?

We had a busy day and I still had about 1000 calories left so I thought I had room. I looked up the nutritional information in spark people and this is what it says for the vermicelli dish.



368 calories, 17 grams of fat, 22 grams of protein and 4 grams of dietary fibre? I thought it would be way higher in calories and fat and lower when it comes to protein and dietary fibre.

So what do you think - is it accurate? I looked over 10 or 12 entries from different users and this was pretty much the middle of the row.

It would make me SO happy if it was right!
