Okay, so I don't actually follow the news and I have
no idea what "drama" Biebster is in but THIS ARTICLE
was on my AOL news page and I just had to use the title.
Today I wanted to share with you all a bit of my hearts desire.
It started when I was younger and over the past few years has
only expanded and grown as more experience has come my way.
This desire, this burning passion that only has become a full blown
mountain fire with no promises of dieing down is my opinion.
My opinion on food to be exact.
Mainly, for today, my opinion on:
I started with my favorite of all milk teas...
Thai iced tea.
It was a medium blend, rich and creamy, mildly sweetened and iced to perfection.
I was skeptical getting it from a Vietnamese restaurant but it found no fault in my eyes.
I will probably end up getting Thai Iced Tea from here again Togo in the future when I
am desperate for some milk tea.
These were my favorite.
Tiger shrimp prawns wrapped with a small bit of pork and fried to perfection.
They actually vaguely reminded me of my next door neighbors fried shrimp. They would fry over a batch and bring them over every Chinese New Year.
I loved Chinese New Year.
I kinda lived for it.
Mainly because of these bad boys.
And I was not disappointed one bit by these duplicate copies...
The shrimp inside were HUGE!
Which is always a plus to me.
The pork meat they put inside you wouldn't even know the sliver was there unless your like me and open up your food to see whats inside.
But everyone does that right?
I would recommend these to someone who doesn't even like seafood.
It will punch them in the mouth and ask them to apologize.
And the person will.
Oh, they will obey the tiger shrimp.
Then came the main event.
PHO. *(pronounced fuh)
There was a good consistency.
The typical light, meaty broth.
The thin but powerful rice noodles.
The inability to finish a bowl designed for two people.
The lack of desire to want to finish because of the plainness.
But...
Something was missing.
Something just was off.
I want to put my finger on it but I'm afraid I might get lost in a black hole somewhere trying to discover this missing link.
So I will just leave you with this.
Tiger Prawns over the main event at this place ANY DAY.
I did go back the next day and get a fried rice plate that definitely made up for the PHO.
It was very moist, which is unusual for typical fried rice, as if they fried it in cream and butter.
I loved it.
My friend got the pork chop platter.
And the pork chops were amazingly tender and flavorful.
It was as if someone had beat them into submission with a mallet.
Then seasoned them with spices from above.
Yes.
From Above.
Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5.
The Pho wasn't amazing but everything else seemed to be.
But when the main event isn't that great to me that is an automatic dismissal of two stars for poor name choice.
In my world, it should be called Vietnamese Tiger Shrimp Milk tea Pork Fried Rice.
Because that is what they did well.
If your ever in Orange County, Ca maybe this review will come in handy?
