As part of Bupa's best blog competition for 2015
Co Thu Quan is in Saigon Market in Footscray. After walking past it several times we decided to try it. We saw how clean it was and cheap it was. About nine bloggers including Eat and be merry and cahsing a plate really enjoyed the foods.
The serving sizes were just reasonable and everything was $10 and under. I was decently full after my meal and kumquat drink.
They are cash only and you order and pay at the cashier and then they will bring out your food within record pace. The kitchen is open so you can see what they are doing and whether it is clean. The kitchen is clean.
The meats and seafood are sourced from the Footscray market so you know it is fresh
I had the kumquat drink ($4). It was refreshing for a nice warm day. But it was a little bit salty from the sour plum part. The sweetness came from the kumquat.
Next up were the rice paper rolls ($6 for three prawn ones). These were dry and stuck together from having being made in the early hours of the morning and then being stuck on shelf at room temperature. Be careful vegetarians and pescatarians there is a small bit of pork in there. But the nuoc nam was charming.
Last up was the sticky rice with chinese sausage and bbq pork ($5). This easily fed me and I was full from this after all. But it was very salty from the sausages and pork floss and I can still taste the salt.
It's a lovely place for the meat eaters and I encourage Ming from Sweet and Sour Fork to visit soon as she loves her meats. I don't think that this is too much out of her way. It is about a ten minute train ride to Footscray from the city and a two minute walk from the station.
15/20- cheap eat with no frills service. But no vegetarian food though.
