Holy !@#$

It has been almost a year since a posted last. Well since I am the only one who reads this I guess I don't really owe anyone anything. But I did promise myself in an early post that I would blog about Pho on Sundays & Vien Dong. Well first things first Pho on Sundays:

Sunday Pho:
Once upon a time I woke up Sunday afternoon and realized: a) my head felt like millions of tiny mice had tap-danced the night away on my naked skull wearing clogs b) my clothes were covered in mud, dirt and blood (hopefully my blood) c) I was friggin starving. The solution? Quite simple you would think: Pho. So I got my lazy, still-slightly drunk, physically hurt body out of bed and attempted to roll for some Pho. I got 2 closed signs, now Pho like air/water/food & shelter should be something that is available to people 24/7. The fact I couldn't find any not only hurt my pride but also my physical/mental health as I proceeded to cry in my car until I found another delicious bowl food: Kim Chi-Chige. More on this later.

Vien Dong:
In my quest for delicious meat-based broth & noodles I was pointed towards Vien Dong. While some say it is better than V&V I must disagree. Excellent Pho? Yes. They rock a Southern Vietnamese style of Pho that has more cilantro and includes Chinese style chashu that is downright delicious. Also, since they have little to no seating you often get pho splash-back from other, close by tables. This causes both pain and longing as while boiling hot, sometimes you get hit with another style of pho that makes you realize you'll have to come back to sample them all. 6 of10 easy breezy.
