"Goood morning Vietnaaaaaam" - 04/15/10

The title catch phrase from Robin Williams may be slightly misleading. It wasn't actually morning. I'm sure that's obvious from the plate items. The Vietnamese items included someone's cat served with a turnip, a deep fried squirrel, and something in a glowing, luminescent sauce. Just kidding!

If you're still reading, the menu really included Vietnamese spring rolls with chili sauce, pork riblets simmered in caramel (pronounced "care-ah-mel" for confused people who don't know how to properly pronounce it...you know who you are!), grapefruit and jicama salad. There was supposed to be some chicken pho noodle soup but I couldn't find where they were serving it. Vietnamese cuisine was quite a change of pace from the dishes normally served.

So, despite the meal being a dinner, "it's always morning in America, even in the afternoon", or so I've been told. If that's true, then surely the same goes for Vietnam. So, "gooood mornin' Vietnaaaaam!"
