My wife and I love the show so much and try as many recipes as we can. We want to attempt the vietnamese dishes but we would like to know the names of the utensils used in this episode, in particular the type of asian zester used. I hope someone can help.

Fantastic!
We made this dish after watching the show. Ingredients were easy to get form the local asian grocer. Substituted the Pork Belly for pork fingers. Easy to make and very impressive. Left overs are not good the next day! Eat it all in one sitting

When compiling a cheese plate try to think of a combination of flavours as well as textures (sharp, pungent, crumbly, soft). This creates contrast as well as providing variety for your guests. Consider sweet additions such as cut apples, muscatels or honey.
