Sorry Omer... but it probably was the carbs too... lots and lots of carbs. And you had already said you were starting to get ill.
This is the BEST! Do you hear that? The BEST!
When I go, I get the Pho Tai probably the most. I usually start off with an order of Bei Cuon and get a "fresh fruit drink" (sorry, the gringo in me does not know what the actual name of the ch is). I'm not a huge fan of their Bun Thit Nuong (sorry if I can't spell this, remember I'm a gringo) because the barbecue pork seems greasy to me. Every once in a while I order their red pork sandwich (hands down the best baguette bread on the planet!). Pour a bit of the nouc mam (fish sauce) with the chilies on the bread--mmmmm I'm salivating. (Can not wait to go to lunch here tomorrow!!!)
But the real reason we go is the pho. Everytime we go, there are a TON of Vietnamese there. Yeah, the place could probably be cleaner, and I have no idea what they are going to do when they enforce the no smoking ban... but man, I sure forget about it when I am face down in my pho bowl.
