For lunch today I had a giant bowl of vermicelli with charcoal broiled pork bits, grilled shrimps, peanuts, carrots, bean sprouts and cucumber. It had a pale golden sauce that was slighty sweet and a little salty. It was so delicious. Then I topped it off with an avocado milkshake. If you have never had an avocado milkshake, it is one of the most delicious things on earth.

I pine over the lack of a good Vietnamese place near my office daily :(

A good Vietnamese place is a precious gift from the universe.

Avocado milkshake? *Looks enquiringly at avocado bought for salad, darn, no milk!*

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

It sounds bizarre, but it is so tasty and fresh.

[bronchitikat.livejournal.com]

Still insufficient milk. Ah well, maybe some other avocado!

[cjwriter.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. Where did you have said milkshake?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Pho Hoang, on Burnet. Excellent, excellent place.

Mmmmm…. Vermicelli

Mmmmm…. Vermicelli

God! You cannot believe how jealous I am right now!

The closest I come to any Asian food is a Chinese/American restaurant that is run by a Vietnamese who moved to the US when he was young. It is not bad for Chinese/American but Ahhhhhh…. Vermicelli… *sob*.

Let's hope the next place you get posted to has a decent vietnamese crowd!

I like taro milkshakes too

I've never had a taro milkshake. What is the flavor like? I'm only familiar with taro as a thickening agent with cooking.

I always have hated poi, which is made with taro...but when I tried a 'taro milk tea' from CoCo's (the most popular flavor), it was love. It tastes like cookies and cream to me for some reason, heh.

Btw that reminds me, I need to try the avocado Argentinian gelato at this place I found in Georgetown...I bet it's delicious.
