I was invited to have lunch at Twee's Hut Vietnamese Favourites, which has an emphasis on fresh and healthy dishes from various regions of Vietnam. Much of their menu is taken from family recipes, including the aptly names 'Papa Pho'. Also on the menu are rice paper rolls, banh mi, bun, bun bo hue, springrolls and freshly squeezed fruit and veggie juice.
