I'm feeling a bit tired today, so I thought I'd minimize the writing and post mostly photos. So here are some revisits. I know I usually post the storefront before the food, but this time I'll post the food first, then at the end, I'll post the storefront. I've posted on these places maybe too many times, so if you've been reading for a couple of years, you'll recognize them right away.
So here goes.....
#1:
#2:
#3:
So, made your guesses?
All right then.... here are the restaurants.
The first place is:
That Loco Moco is from Homestyle Hawaiian.
That Hu Tieu Mi Kho can only be from....
That Pho King Restaurant! Sorry, I couldn't help with the childish humor.... in fact, I named the photos "more Pho King". OK, can I have just one more? The folks in the office enjoy.....whoa, almost did it again, they like....well.....oh geez.....you get the point! I was drinking my coffee one day, and I mentioned that we hadn't eaten here in a while. To which "MG" exclaimed loudly, "oh yes, I miss Pho King!" The expression on her face after saying that was classic.....she had that "I wish I could reach out and grab what I said and stuff it back into my mouth" look. I nearly snorted my coffee out of my nose.... and could only manage a weak.... "I think you'd better tell your husband." Such is the "Pho King effect". 'nuff said.....
And finally that bowl of Bun Bo Hue is from:
So how many of you got three out of three?
Piece of cake, Kirk. Chia made me took pictures of him posing in front of Pho King.

Nothing like soup to cure the tiredness and the loco moco for the hell of it.

That loco moco distracted me from guessing the other two restaurants. I haven't been to the three in awhile so revisits are due.
The soups look delicious with our cold, wet weather.

Hi Tammy - So you managed to guess all three without looking to the end? You're hardcore.....
Hi Kat - It's been soup weather here recently.
Hi Mo - Double yum!
Hi Bill - Loco Moco for the hell of it! I like that.
Hi Sandy - That Bun Bo Hue sure did hit the spot!

I only got the loco moco right. Hehe, mention of Pho King always cracks me up.

Oh man, never had loco moco before but that just looks tasty. Egg plus a burger patty makes a great combo all by itself already! Gotta try it some time. I've driven by Pho King a few times, but I refuse to eat there. CURSE YOU PUNS!! Haha.

Hi CC - MG once called to ask what time they closed. As soon as the phone was picked up with, "hello! Pho King!" She laughed so hard she couldn't talk and had to hang up.
Hi Lynnea - At least you got one.
Hi Carol - LOL! It's hard to keep a straight face with Pho King.
Hi Darwin - Certain dishes are really good at Pho King.
