Burnaby residentNia Furtadohasbeen worried about the
sidewalksalong Rumble Street for nearly adecade.
Thesidewalks in theareaareoftenimpassable after it rains,
accord-ing to Furtado, who lives betweenPatterson and Joffre
avenues.
It was the first winter after Imoved in that I realized how bad
thesidewalks really were, she said. Icalled the city a few
times.
Furtado moved to the area andnoticed water puddling in front
ofher home and freezing over duringthe winter.
It was like an ice rink, shesaid.
He mother fell, and Furtado con-tacted the City of Burnaby
again.After that, a catch for water wasinstalled in the gravel
shoulder ofthe road in front of her home, tokeep water from flowing
downtoward the sunken sidewalk.
But the problem is prevalentthroughout the whole neighbour-hood,
she said.
These sidewalks were built backin the 50s, Furtado explained,
add-ing, they just dont work now.
Traffic increases annually, shesaid, and there are three
schoolson Rumble Street, with two othersnearby.
After it rains, pedestrians walk-ing on the south side of

Everyday heroes make a differenceNobody nobody should die
alone.This is Thea Juetts personal philosophy
and the impetus behind her work with theBurnaby Hospice
Society.
We are there from the time they arediagnosed, she said. We have
volunteersto live in the home, we visit in the hospitals,we do
vigils and sit with people as they taketheir last breath.
Juett, one of the founders of the society,
began her volunteer work with people atthe end of their lives in
England when shewas 12.
Her school required that students volun-teer, and Juett chose to
volunteer at her localhospital.
She ended upworking in theward for theterminally ill.
I used to read to them and bring themtea, she said. Thats really
how I started.
Juett moved to Ontario in 1965 and cameto Burnaby in 1967. She
worked for homesupport services as a supervisor.
I had clients who had nobody and diedat home, she said.
It was one such client that led to thefounding of the hospice
society, she added.
I got called out one Christmas evening,and I sat with the worker
until the doc-tor came and pronounced this gentleman,who had died
all alone on Christmas Day,Juett said. I went back to my office
afterChristmas and said, Weve got to do some-thing about this.

A local resident is collecting signa-tures for a petition to
keep regular-sizedbuses running along two routes in
NorthBurnaby.
Burnaby resident Tina Poole is peevedthat TransLink switched to
smaller buseson the 134 and 136 routes, which she oftenrelies on to
get around the city.
The Forest Grove resident says thesmaller vehicles are often
overcrowdedand leave people behind at bus stopsbecause they are
full. The smaller busesare also less accessible for wheelchairs
andbaby strollers, she claims.
Im more advocating on behalf of myneighbours, she said. Ive got
a lot ofneighbours with mobility issues.
Poole said the changes were made inearly September.
They say its going to be permanent,but not if I can help it, she
said.
TransLink spokesperson Drew Sniderconfirmed the buses on routes
134 and135 were downsized in September, butthe smaller buses are
only being used onweekends, he pointed out.
TransLink made the changes as part ofa service optimization
initiative, whichincluded a study of bus routes to figureout where
best to use the buses.
With 134 and 136, on weekends theridership just didnt justify
having a 40-foot bus, Snider said. In the fall of 2011,ridership
for the routes peaked at 17 board-ings, a third of the large buses
capacity, headded.
We put the bigger buses elsewhere
and replaced them with the communityshuttle buses.
The community shuttle buses havespace for 24 seats and the same
numberof wheelchairs or strollers as the regular-sized buses.
According to Snider, only one personhas formally complained to
TransLink
about the downsized buses, and the transitcompany keeps an eye
on public feed-back.
We always monitor the situation tosee if any changes are
warranted. Lookinginto the numbers and taking into accountwe can
carry just as many strollers andwheelchairs, for now, it just
doesnt
make economic sense to run a big bus for17 people per trip, he
said.
We do log all the complaints we getabout these things, and they
are taken intoconsideration.
The 134 goes to Lake City Way andBrentwood Station, while the
136 goes toLougheed Station and Brentwood Station.

Family still waiting for dad to be movedFamilymembers of a
former city council-
lor, who is floundering in BurnabyHospitalwith Alzheimers, are
still waiting for theirfather to be transferred to a care facility
andare questioning the decision to give himantipsychotic drugs.
Douglas Evans, now 82, served onBurnaby city council for 15
years. He wasadmitted to hospital roughly three monthsago after he
became lost while out for awalk. According to his family, his
healthdeteriorated while in hospital. Hes comedown with pneumonia
and C. difficile,
he has lost his ability to walk, and he wasgiven three
anti-psychotic drugs, includ-ing haloperidol, which is used
primarily totreat schizophrenia.
We felt the anti-psychotic drugs weredoing more damage than
anything, saidEvans daughter Diane.
The family was told haloperidol (alsoknown as haldol) was the
best drug forcalming down a patient, but Diane saidher father was
overdosed twice and wasdrugged into a stupor.
Douglas is no longer on any of the anti-psychotic medications,
Diane added.
Hes been very calm since, but of coursenow he cant walk. We feel
those drugs
sped up his deterioration, she said. Werefinding so many people
with Alzheimersare being medicated with antipsychotics.
Diane said the family is not looking tocast blame, just
questioning what seemsto be a common practice in dealing
withdementia.
I want to be clear were not blamingpeople. Were not blaming the
doctors orthe nurses, Diane said. Were just sayingthere has to be a
better way.
Gloria Gutman, president of theInternational Network for
Prevention ofElder Abuse, said shes heard many similarstories from
patients advocates, and thatthe over-medication of seniors is an
issue,
whether at home, in a care facility or inhospital.
The problem is sometimes peoplesbehaviour gets disturbed, or
they act outwhen they are frightened, especially thosepeople who
have Alzheimers or relateddementia. (They) can get somewhat
agi-tated when they are afraid, when they arein strange
environment, she said. (For)virtually any of us, at any age, going
intohospital is a stressful process. What hap-pens is sometimes
staff will misinterpretthe behaviour and prescribe
tranquilizers,sedatives, anti-psychotic medication as a
Ridership: Burnaby resident Tina Poole wants to keep
regular-sized buses running along two North Burnaby routes that
haveswitched to smaller community shuttles. Poole is collecting
signatures on a petition to have TransLink reverse the
decision.

Street have to walk on thebusy street to avoid largepuddles,
flooding and inthe winter, ice, she said.
Traffic turning fromBoundary Road andPatterson Avenue
oftenspeeds through the area,with some cars ignoringthe school zone
speed lim-its, she said.
While increasing trafficis an issue, Furtado said itcould be
manageable.
We arent saying, makeit go away, she said of thetraffic. Were
just saying,make it safer for everyoneinvolved.
Furtado said she isafraid someone will behurt or killed if
pedestrianproblems in the area arentaddressed soon.
She has witnessed anumber of accidents, shesaid, including one
lastJune where a car went intothe oncoming traffic laneand hit a
minivan, thenwent through a fence andhit a house.
The accident occurrednear Suncrest Elementary,where students
cross thestreet, she said, adding itwas luckily on a Saturday.
In 2010, Furtado andmany of her neighboursbegan expressing
theirconcerns to the city inwriting, she said, addingthat they
submitted a peti-tion with 120 to 130 namesof Rumble Street
residentand parents of SuncrestElementary students.
City staff told residentsthat upgrades to RumbleStreet were
included in thecapital construction pro-gram for 2013 to 2014,
shesaid.
But last April, Furtadosaid when she called cityhall, she was
told the proj-ect had been bumped to2016 to 2018.
Thats not acceptable,she said. Its just gettingworse every
year.
The citys director ofengineering, Barry Davis,confirmed the
upgradesare scheduled in the 2016to 2018 budget but couldntsay why
the project wasmoved from the 2013 to2014 budget, as he hasonly
recently taken over asdirector.
Plans of course doget reprioritized due toavailability issues,
such asfunding availability, andsometimes there are other
priorities that happen tochange things, he said.In this
particular circum-stance, I dont know whatwouldve dropped it
from
2013/2014, but it is still inthe plan.
The budget is reviewedannually, but Davis saidhe didnt see
anything that
would change the timelinefor the project again at thispoint in
time. Eroding side-walks are repaired throughcapital roadworks
projects,
as in this case; redevelop-ment; and cost-sharingLASPs local
area serviceprograms between resi-dents and the city, he said.
The city regularlyinspects local sidewalks toensure theyre
maintainedand repaired as necessary,he added

way of managing behaviour, rather thantaking the time to talk
with the person andreassure them that they are safe.
Overmedicating seniors can make themmore confused, slower and
incontinent,Gutman said.
They should not be prescribing medi-cations that are designed
for people withschizophrenia or another psychosis to peo-ple with
dementia, she said. The excuseis: were short staffed, whether your
talkingabout a hospital or a care facility. If some-ones
misbehaving we dont have time tosit and talk with them and hold
their hand,but its also staff perhaps not understand-ing the
disease. ... The easiest thing is togive a drug.
In 2011, the B.C. Health Ministry pub-lished a report on the use
of antipsychoticdrugs in the provinces residential carefacilities.
According to the report, thereare roughly 64,000 people in B.C.
withsome form of dementia, but that figure isexpected to grow to
94,000 by 2026.
The report stated that antipsychotics,originally developed for
schizophreniaand psychoses, are increasingly used totreat symptoms
associated with advanceddementia because they help control
agita-tion and aggression.
The report also cited provincial guide-lines that recommend
physicians useextreme caution when prescribing anti-psychotics and
should do so only whenother therapies have failed, or there is
anidentifiable risk of harm to the patientof others, or the
symptoms are severeenough to cause suffering and distress.
According to Nafisa Abdulla, a pub-lic affairs consultant with
Fraser Health,antipsychotic medications are only givenif prescribed
by a doctor and are some-times used to treat or manage symptoms
and behaviours related to Alzheimers anddementia.
It all depends on individual case andcircumstances, she wrote in
an email tothe NOW. The patients doctor woulddecide, usually in
discussion with fam-ily members, whether or not that was
anappropriate course of treatment.
In general, antipsychotics are sometimesusedaschemical
restraints,as theyrestrictpatients movements, but Fraser
Healthspolicy is that any restraints chemical,physical or
environmental are only usedto protect patients from harm when
otherreasonable alternatives havent worked.
In the meantime, the Evans family mem-bers are taking shifts,
watching over theirfather, who remains isolated in BurnabyHospital
because of the C. difficile. Dianesaid her father needs to be
re-assessed, todetermine what kind of care he requires,before he
can be placed in a seniors home.

NDP leader Adrian Dix didsomething last week that is com-pletely
out of character for a B.C.political leader.
He actually went out of hisway to speak glowingly of histwo
rivals, Premier ChristyClark and B.C.Conservative leaderJohn
Cummins. Inhis speech to about1,500 delegates to the Unionof B.C.
Municipalities annualconvention, he heaped praiseon their public
service, and saidthey were not deserving of anypersonal attacks,
especially com-ing from him.
This was not an isolated caseof Dix playing nice in B.C.s
pol-itical sandbox. Since becomingleader, he has strived to createa
more positive tone in whatpasses for political discourse inthis
province.
The question is: can he keepthis up, and will this kind ofstyle
continue if he becomespremier? Dix insists the answerto both
questions is a definiteyes.
Well see.But for now, you have to give
him credit for trying to wrestB.C. politics out of the
aggres-sively partisan, attack-dog men-tality that has dominated
thepolitical arena for decades.
For a recent example, oneneeds to look no further thanthe recent
mini-scandal thatsaw the premiers chief of staffresign over some
kind of inci-
dent involving a female politicalstaffer at a Victoria bar.
This is the kind of story thatallows an Opposition party
tofurther embarrass the govern-ment. Not so here.
The NDPs response wastelling, because theresimply was no
response.As per Dixs orders, noMLA or staff person
made a single comment aboutthe incident. Not a single tweetwas
sent out, in an arena wheresocial media often drives thedebate.
When Kevin Falcon andGeorge Abbott announced theywere getting
out of politics, Dixissued news releases thankingthem for their
public service.More notably, Dix lauded theappointment of former
premierGordon Campbell to the positionof Canadas high
commissionerin London, England.
His endorsement ofCampbells position likely didntgo over well
with many of hispartys faithful, who had cometo revile the former
premier. ButDix didnt care about that andsaid he thought the post
was theperfect fit for Campbell and thecountry.
In the legislature, Dix leadsoff every question period, but
hedoes so in a low-key, non-con-frontational manner. He leavesthe
shouting and arm-waving tohis caucus members.

Voting problems not biggest political issueCalls for electoral
reform in B.C. are
increasing in volume once again notsurprising, as it begins more
and moreto look like a lopsided result will comeout of the next
provincial election.
Lopsided results tend toemphasize a small flaw
infirst-past-the-post voting, inwhich the candidate with themost
votes wins the election, regard-less of how few votes he or she
actuallypolls. With three or four strong candi-dates running, a
winner could have less
than a third of the total ballots cast.That inequity can be
magnified dra-
matically between ridings. For instance,Gordon Campbell led the
B.C. Liberalsto a massive victory in 2001, winning all
but two ridings about 95 percent of the seats in the
legis-lature despite receiving lessthan 60 per cent of the
popular
vote across the province.Traditionally in B.C., the uneven
split between popular votes andfinal outcomes in the legislature
has
favoured the political right, particu-larly when there has been
greater bal-ance between parties vying for power.Nevertheless, in
1996, the NDP tookmore than half of the available seatsdespite
having polled less than 40 percent of the popular vote, while the
los-ing Liberals actually received 42 percent of the votes cast in
B.C.
The likelihood of another lopsidedelection is rekindling the
fires under atransferable vote system that requires acandidate to
acquire at least 50 per cent
support, either initially or through vot-ers second (or third)
choices.
This time the calls for reform arecoming from the right end of
the politi-cal spectrum likely because the right issplit. But a
change in balloting wouldnot address the real problem. Whenour MLAs
get to Victoria, they becomeblind representatives for their
party.If they actually represented their rid-ings and the people
who elected them the first-past-the-post system wouldserve us just
fine, thanks.
Playing nice maypay off for Dix

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dixs motivation forall this feel-good, posi-tive messaging
appearslinked to his desire toincrease voter turnout
andparticipation in the polit-ical process. The
relentlessnegativity that character-izes political debate is
nodoubt a turnoff for a lot ofpeople, who view such dis-course as
mindless, emptyrhetoric.
And this new kind ofapproach may also reflectthe reality that
there arenot many tremendous dif-ferences between Dix andhis
opponents, thus elimin-ating the need for personalattacks (I
suspect that aclose examination of theelection platforms of theNDP
and the B.C. Liberalscome next spring will notreveal huge
differences;both parties are hemmedin by deteriorating govern-
ment revenues).By contrast, Premier
Clark and her B.C. Liberalparty continue to take therelentless,
aggressive par-tisan approach and launchpersonal attacks on Dix
atregular intervals.
So far, that approachis not working, but theyshow no signs of
changingtactics.
In fact, I suspect the B.C.Liberals are already plan-ning their
next attack adon Dix.
You can be sure thatas we draw nearer to nextsprings election
they willfeverishly play up Dixsnow-notorious backdatedmemo to file
he wroteduring the casino contro-versy that ousted his for-mer
boss, Glen Clark, fromthe premiers office.
Last week, I noted thehuge gender gap that hasdeveloped among
B.C.
voters, as women in largenumbers have desertedClark. I have to
wonderwhether the differing stylesof the two leaders mayhelp
explain that gap.
If Dix can remain posi-tive and avoid the partisanpersonal
attacks that hischief opponent loves (andif he can ensure his

Dix: Avoiding partisanship
We, too, contributed to the public feed-back that determined
what traffic solu-tions would be the most beneficial for theentire
community.
There are many challenges to runninga small independent business
on a neigh-bourhood shopping street. Property taxesat 4.3 times the
rate that residents pay, andcompetition from shopping malls and
bigbox stores are two big ones. But our big-gest problem, by far,
is traffic and parkingchallenges.
Many Heights residents dont remem-ber that in the 1970s through
1990s, ourproperty values were among the lowestin Burnaby.
Prostitution and massage par-lours were evident, there were many
busi-ness vacancies, and litter and graffiti werecommon sights.
The Heights Merchants Association,our community partners, and
the city haveworked very hard for more than 20 yearsto turn the
Heights around.
Residents often tell us that the chief rea-son they moved to the
Heights is becauseof its shopping district. Yet we must nottake
this local shopping street for granted.
In 1996, we were dealt a big blow whenparking in front of our
businesses wastaken away. The busiest period at the endof the work
day became our slowest. Andnothing has replaced that loss of
businesssince.
Creating the high-occupancy vehiclelane did not eliminate rat
running in the
Heights then, and extending the hourswill not help it today. The
biggest reasonthat drivers rat run is because they can.There are
few impediments, and it is easyto access the Skeena tunnel. Adding
a halfhour to the HOV lanes will not deter driv-ers from that
convenience.
But the HOV lane will hurt the busi-nesses that serve our
community. It createsa noisy, polluted and dangerous
freewayatmosphere where thousands of peoplewalk, every day, and no
buffer of parkedcars to protect them. The poor supply ofstreet
parking encourages drivers to go themall and today, many malls are
rebuild-ing themselves into an outdoor streetwithout the nuisance
of moving traffic todiminish the atmosphere.
With the Evergreen Line coming downthe pike and Lougheed Highway
designedto carry high volumes of traffic, there arealternative
traffic routes to explore. Whynot remove the HOV lane and restore
ourparking so that we can all enjoy a cheerfulsidewalk atmosphere
that other districts,such as Commercial Drive, have?
More than a third of our merchantslive on the Heights, too. We
also object torat-running. But having an HOV lane doesnot solve
that problem, and increasing itshours wont make it better.
It will only compound the difficultiesfor businesses to sustain
themselves in acommunity that is attractive because localmerchants,
too, are a part of this specialplace.

Association

A group of six of the employees decid-ed to start a hospice, she
said, and held ameeting at the McGill library branch to seeif there
was community support. About 75people showed up.
The society started off without money,an office or staff,
according to Juett. It hassince grown to have one full-time
employ-ee paid for with funds from FraserHealth and three part-time
employees.
The society has fundraisers to keepthe hospice running, and
alsomakes money from its thriftstore, which opened six yearsago,
she said. She now volun-teers at the thrift store.
Im so proud to be part ofthis, she said of the society.We have
such a wonderfulgroup of volunteers.
Juett is one of eight LocalHero Award winners chosenthis year by
the citys socialissues committee.
She was surprised to findout she won, when told about it by
theNOW.
Isnt that great? she said. I didnteven know I was up for
this.
The winners are invited to receive theircertificates of
recognition at the Nov. 5council meeting. A reception is being
heldbeforehand.
The other seven local heroes werenominated for volunteer work
with com-munity policing units, Burnaby GeneralHospitals healthy
heart program, andthe citys citizen services program, amongother
programs, according to a reportfrom the committee.

Coun. Paul McDonell, chairof the social issues committee, said
theprocess of choosing the local heroes isusually simple.
We go through them all, and theyhave to meet the set criteria,
he said in aphone interview Monday.
Award winners have to be a residentof the city for a number of
years, andthe type of community work they do isassessed, he
added.
We look at the work they do in thecommunity, whether its
somethingtheyre employed to do, McDonell said.Sometimes theres
people that work fordifferent organizations and stuff, and theyget
paid. Were looking primarily for peo-ple who are volunteering in
the commu-nity, for their community involvement.
The city has limited the amount ofwinners to 12 per year,
McDonell said,to ensure the award has meaning and isgiven to the
most deserving people. Thosewho do not win can be nominated
againthe next year, he added.

Over 15 Million milkempties recycled at Return-ItDepots in
2011British Columbians get top marksfor their milk carton
recyclingefforts as over 15 million milk con-tainers were returned
to partici-pating Return-It Depots last year.The volume of milk
containersreturned to participating Return-It Depots has tripled
since 2006.says Mike Dick, president of theBC Dairy Council.
The amount of cartons and jugsthat we have saved from
landfillsis quite significant, says Dick. Itis hard to visualize
the amount, butif you were to align 15 million jugsand cartons
upright and side-by-side, the distance would cover fromVancouver to
Prince George andback. Thats over 1,500 kilometers!The 15 million
containers weighedin at 630,000 kilograms (380,000
kilograms of milk cartons and250,000 kilograms of plastic
milkjugs). Year over year, the weightof recovered milk containers
hasincreased by eight per cent thatsan increase of 47,000 more
kilo-grams from 2010 and a trend that theDairy Council hopes will
continue.
Number of participatingReturn-It Depots morethan doubledThe
voluntary recycling programprovided by Return-It Depotsallows
consumers to drop off emptymilk containers, at no charge,to
participating depots and it is
proving to be a huge success.Services are provided by
EncorpPacific, which manages the Return-It Depots throughout the
provincethat accept milk containers forrecycling. Since the company
wasfirst contracted to service thevoluntary milk recycling
programin 2006, the number of Return-ItDepots that accept milk
empties hasmore than doubled from 70 to 166.The growing network of
partici-pating Return-It Depots has madeit easier for British
Columbiansto do the right thing and recycleresponsibly. Research
shows thatthe average BC household empties6.5 milk containers every
monthand that there are more than1.8 million households in B.C.,so
the potential impact on theenvironment is significant.
No deposit = no refundTheres no refund on milk empties(because
you didnt pay a deposit),but youll have the satisfaction ofknowing
you are doing the rightthing. Plastic jugs are the mostpopular form
of packaging for milkin BC, polycoat milk cartons arealso commonly
used. Althoughpolycoat cartons are not usuallyaccepted through
curbside blue-boxprograms, milk carton recycling isoffered at 166
participating Return-
It Depots across the province. Allmilk, cream, and milk
substitute(soy, almondand rice) beverage con-tainers are recyclable
and accepted.
Rinse and crush milkcontainers for recyclingPreparing milk
containers for re-cycling is easy; simply rinse themout and crush
them. This stopsthe cartons and jugs from smellingand makes them
more compactto store and carry. It also facili-tates the recycling
process. Dontforget to remove and bring inthe caps too, because
they getrecycled separately.British Columbians can bringtheir milk
empties to participatingReturn-It Depots along with
theirdeposit-bearing bottles and cans.Its easy and convenient.
B.C. gets top marks for 2011 milk recycling efforts

Nancy Le and Yen Do have beenfriends for more than 20 years.Le
was introduced to Do byher mother and used to visit Do at a
cater-ing company where she worked, accord-ing to Le.
Do has workedin the industry sinceher 20s. All myfamily are in
thefood business, shesays.
Their friendshipand Dos prowesswith the culinaryarts grew over
the
years, finally culminating in Broken Rice a Vietnamese
restaurant that openedin the Heights at 4088 Hastings St. fiveweeks
ago.
Do, who has two other restaurantsin Vancouver and Richmond,
partneredwith Le to open the new eatery after Lelost her job as a
dental assistant.
She wanted to have a restaurant, butshe cannot do it by herself,
so I said, OK,I can help, Do says. We decided toopen together.
Le lives in the neighbourhood andpicked the spot.
She also chose the dcor dark, ornateteak tables and chairs in a
fine dining set-ting.
It is an unusual set up for localVietnamese restaurants, which
tend to bemore casual, Do says, but the duo pre-ferred to go with a
slightly Westernizeddining atmosphere to showcase their
tra-ditional Vietnamese cuisine.
Le brings out the restaurants signaturegreen papaya salad fresh
prawns atopa bed of shredded green papaya with alight, tangy
dressing.
The dish, which Do also makes at herVancouver restaurant, Green
Lemongrass,is a favourite of federal ImmigrationMinister Jason
Kenney, she tells us.
Next out is clay pot chicken on a bedof rice. The dish has an
complex array ofsubtle flavours, in part due to the spe-cial edible
yellow lilies imported fromVietnam, Do says.
Uncle Hings Chicken Wings are quickto follow, crispy and hot
with a light coat-ing of sweet, hot sauce.
The wings are a creation of Dos broth-er, Hing, and were put on
the menu at therequest of her son, she says.
The cuisine is from all different areasof Vietnam, with most of
it from thesouthern part of the country, accordingto Do.
The culinary influence of the Frenchoccupation of Vietnam is
very evident,particularly in dishes such as frogs legs,Do points
out.
Le brings out the next course shakenbeef and tomato rice.
The tenderloin in the shaken beef dishis tender and moist, its
flavours minglingperfectly with those of the rice.
Le joins us at the table to discuss herrole at Broken Rice.
I like to enjoy food, Le says. I like
to go to Western restaurants, and I wantto adopt their way of
plating. So we cancombine ideas. More experience from Yenand the
look, my part.
Le considers Do her mentor, she says.Shes a very good business
woman,
Le says.The final dishes presented are an
avocado shake, made with condensedmilk, and the restaurants
garden parfait,invented by Dos son.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream sits ona bed of cookie crumbs,
surrounded bydiced dragonfruit and kiwi and otherfruits. It is also
adorned with microgreens, including delicate pink flowers
and tiny carrots.The flavours are layered - sweet vanilla
and cookie with the snap of kiwi, comple-mented by the gentle
microgreens.
Were launching something very dif-ferent, Le says of the
restaurant.
The two friends hope people will giveBroken Rice with its
combination ofWestern look and Vietnamese food atry, Le says.
The local neighbourhood people arevery good, very supportive, Do
adds.
