Bepxercises

Next week we'll be launching three weekly photo sections:

1. a series on the great variety of ingredients used in all of Bep's dishes and drinks
2. a series on the board we use to advertise the specials
3. a series called "What is Marcos wearing today"

Special for this week! Bo Kho- Vietnamese beef Stew!

At Bep we try to use as much ingredients of the season. In Fall Apples are everywhere so we are integrating some apples in a roll dish- We will call it Goi Cuon Tao- Summer roll with apple- I guess we could it Autumn roll. ( Roll filled with apples, Pork and Shrimp with vermicelli).

What better when it is cold than a good bowl of Beef Stew- We would propose the Vietnamese Beef stew cooked with lemongrass, tomatoes, Star Anise served with Fresh Thai Basil and either toasted bread or rice noodles!

We love that mix!!!

We really enjoy the music mix made by Pocketknife and Don Vu for Gargyle. We would play it starting tonight at Bep. You can download it to that site.

We are launching 3 weekly photo updates on the blog and on facebook, we call them bepxercises, or something like that. Also, later today I'll be posting the pictures of last Monday's roadtrip to Chinatown. Spoiler warning! Marcos did something ridiculous, An revealed a secret ingredient of that day's special and Jose recorded a fight between two very angry dudes.

Cari Ga hoac Cari Chay! Spice it up today!

Tonight Bep's special is Cari Ga hoac Cari Chay- Vietnamese Curry with Chicken or Vegetarian!

Bon Lundi a tous.

Tet trung thu-Moon celebration.

Strolling around Chinatown this week, I noticed the abundance of Pomelos. In Asia Pomelo is the represention of the moon. So I decided to do a salad that I love the Goi Buoi- Pomelo Salad, it is a classic Vietnamese dish. Just need some extra lanterns and the Moon celebration would be completed.

Shine like a star( fruit).

Today I was strolling around Chinatown looking for new exciting ingredient and I found some beautiful starfruit (khe in Vietnamese). I decided that today special would be a starfruit salad. The sour of the starfruit would be balanced with the sweetness of the sauce and the shrimps.

Bonne Journee a tous!
