so pho-cking good

26 September 2008 By zenandjuice 2 In Restaurants

Last night, we ate at Pho Saigon, where Red Palace, and Hunan Manor were previously located (on North College).

The food was incredible.

I had the Pho (P1), with everything. The broth was very beefy and quite delicious.

Jill had the Bun (B2 or B3, I can’t remember), and it was very tasty as well.

Apparently, it’s new owners, new menu, and the focus is on the Vietnamese dishes. There are still some Chinese dishes available as well. I tried the Roast Pork with Vegetables a couple of weeks ago, and it was good.

Don’t think this is Red Palace under a different name. Go there and enjoy the food. It’s better than the place on 6th street. I want to go back tonight

non-smoking campus ?

14 August 2008 By zenandjuice 3 In UA

saw a guy standing outside my office door smoking a cigarette.

I reminded him that it’s a non-smoking campus now, and he said “yeah. i know, but they don’t enforce it.”

I said, “well, you never know.”, and he replied “yeah, I do know. they don’t enforce it. hehe”

so much for a “fresh” campus.

oh yeah. makes it even better when the guy is UA staff.

I have decided that the big park the city wants to build at SouthPass shall be called:

SOUTH PARK

Who’s with me on this ?

Pho Quyen

Today I ate lunch at Pho Quyen (http://phoquyen.us/ - site not online yet), a new Vietnamese Souphouse on 6th street !

Jill and I both had the Pho. It was really good. Tried it with the flank, brisket, and meatball.

I added alot more fish sauce, because that’s how I roll. (Oh yeah. They actually have bottles of Golden Boy Fish Sauce on the table. Bonus points right there)

We also tried the fresh spring rolls, and the fresh fried egg rolls. Those were great. The peanut sauce actually tasted like it was made with peanuts or peanut butter.

A co-worker ate lunch their as well today. In order to not embarrass her, we’ll call her “Sarah”.

Her review of the Pho: “it was too soupy”. Which I think is a good thing, in regard to noodle soup.
