Depends on where you get it from. The place I buy it from (Pho Viet) has a bit of a kick but it's not overbearing with the amount of heat/chili oil. You'll definitely notice the burn after a couple of spoonfuls of noodles and broth though.

I love pho. I'm not Vietnamese but my roommate in college introduced me to it. I get pho a couple of times a month. I have to actually refrain from buying a bowl to go. $7! Such a steal of a meal.



Chipotle Weds!

I love chipotle's chips and guac!

Crab tacos!

Hard to clean, I get every little bit out of them, but worth it. Tacos, salad, dipped in butter, crab cakes (as little bread as possible), crab, crab, crab during this bountiful crab season in California and the low prices in the store.

So because of my Waffle House obsession, one of my friends bought me a Waffle Maker.

All I can say in words is:

Now I can save some cash by getting an All-Star Special WITHOUT the Waffle :D

That is one scrumpdillyishus-looking bowl of noodle soup. What is it called? And may I ask which country's cuisine? It looks Vietnamese, but might be Chinese, and I want to know so I can order it in a restaurant.

Looks like Wonton, Fried fish balls, Green Onion, Choy Sum and instant ramen noodles to me. Since I'm chinese too, i'd say that looks like a Chinese dish :)

If only there were more true Chinese restaurants in Louisville, KY. We have several Chinese-American eateries, a generous sprinkling of cheap neighborhood takey-outeys, and a metric f***load of mega-buffets. But we only have one or two that serve authentic Chinese, and one of those closed just a few months ago. The other one is too far out of the way for anything more than a special occasion, and my wife considers their food too heavy on the garlic.

To which I reply, "Of course it's heavy on the garlic! It's Szechuan, fer Pete's sake!"

Yeah you are right - but viet style and fresh egg noodle. Fresh is always the best!

It may have Chinese roots (I am not sure) but it is vietnamese made in the vietnamese style haha. It is called "Mi hoanh thanh" or Wonton with egg noodles, and basically it is thin egg noodle in a flavorful broth with dumplings, some bbq pork slices, fried fish balls, 1-2 jumbo shrimp, sometimes a broiled chicken leg, and some lettuce and bean sprouts. My bowl had some real crab meat thrown in because my dad had steamed crabs the night before.

looks like wor won ton mein (chinese), but the hoisin in the background is throwing me off.

It is not typically eaten with hoisin, but I like to keep it on hand in case I want some more flavor.

Try looking for a vietnamese restaurant. Vietnamese cuisine is thankfully still the property of vietnamese people and thus made the traditional way without excess frying, msg, or sweet sticky sauces.



This is amazing as well. Rice porridge with chicken. Basically rice porridge cooked with real chicken broth and shredded breast meat, served with chinese donuts cut in. OMG so good.

I am lucky to have two GREAT cooks in my life (because I cannot cook/too lazy!) My mom and my boyfriend ahha.

Thanks for the name. There is a restaurant in Louisville called Vietnam Kitchen, which is located in a part of town with high numbers of Vietnamese immigrants, and has really authentic food; my favorite dish there is "Hu Tieu cay Trieu Chau". Let's see if there's a menu online...Woo hoo, lucky me. According to Vietnam Kitchen's online menu, there is a "Mi hoanh thanh xa xiu" available, which looks close enough to me.

I love all types of Asian food, not just Chinese. Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, it's all good. Yes, I eat kimchi. And my wife forces me to eat it outside. LOL

Again, thanks so much for the information!

My new years diet is very healthy. I eat fruits (apples of course), vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. I also eat some whole grain carbs too.

This certainly isn't my last meal, but I had lots of personal hot pot while hopping around Taiwan. Always delicious. I'd usually grab some fresh bubble tea afterwards. So good, and so cheap. Go Asia.

[Edit] Sorry, huge iPhone picture. I really wish there was a way to limit the resolution. It's not like the quality allows for good high-res pics anyways! D:

I've been to a few in Ohio, but IMO definitely no where near as good as Chipotle. Their burritos are bland and chips taste like cardboard. I usually enjoy whatever I'm eating but wasn't a big fan of that place. *shrug*

I guess whenever I am visiting another state that has them I will try them.:D
