It's time again for me to C(lear) O(ut the) M(emory) C(ard)....and while doing that I just noticed something. I believe I'm actually eating more noodles than rice nowadays. Boy times have changed. Anyway, here it is, in all shapes, sizes, and nationalities.....
Guess where??
1:
It's Pho King!
2:
This Pho meatfest brought to you by Pho Saigon Star.
3:
Man, I remember when this was like $12.95.....it's now $16.95, as a lunch special! We didn't even get decent service on this visit...sad, quite sad.
4:
From our weekly lunch visit to Izakaya Sakura.
5: Now think of this one as an eye test....which is better...
Number one:
or number two.....
If you picked number one.....well, it was quite obvious, right? Granted, number one is from Lucky Noodle King in San Gabriel while number two is from the newly opened Liang's, but they might as well be galaxies apart. To add injury to insult, bowl number two is $2 more expensive, or maybe more since between my two visits two weeks apart, it seems that prices have already gone up..and they just opened. A post is upcoming.
By the way number one was just ok.......
And a couple more for good measure...otherwise these would have just been deleted.
I know, Chao Nian Gao are stir fried "rice cakes"...... but that's almost noodley, right?
I hope you had a great Tuesday!
ooooo I know #3

Those dishes look quite unique, but they made me drool all the same. LOL. I like noodles when served with meat. Anyway, I do enjoy the food better when the environment is great.

That's a lot of pho considering the weather we've been having! I'm still craving cold salads these days.

Hi Kat - That phrase makes me laugh for some reason!
I do too Raquel.
Hi Ed - Yes, you need to get down here again soon!
Hi Danny - These are pretty typical noodle dishes.
Hi Alyssa - Still having salad! Well, why not if you're craving it.
Just couldn't help yourself Cliff? he-he-he....
Hi AZ - That's one of my favorites at Sakura. The good thing is, during the summer you can have with cold soba or udon, during the winter with hot noodles...
