So I ventured back to Pho Thanh today with the mindset of trying something other than Pho. I went with the #59 Special Broken Rice with BBQ pork. Holey mother of all that is holey, what a killer dish. I'm pretty sure some Vietnamese dude was hammered one night and was like (in cool Vietnamenglish) "What do I have in the refrigerator? I got some rice. I got some BBQ pork. I got some shredded pork. I got some meatballs wrapped in grape leaves. I got some scallions. and Ive got an egg." and in true drunk munchy fashion, concocted one of my favorite dishes.
The dish was perfect in every way imaginable. I did add a touch of soy for salt and some of the red pepper paste they gave me, but other than that it was poifect. My takeout lunch cost me $7.50, but I should say that it ended up costing me $over $500 because that's probably how much I'll spend this year going back all the time. Two thumbs up and a big ole Pho slurp to the dope Vietnamese drunk guy that, more than likely, invented that dish!!!
