Tonight after a long day of cutting up trees that fell during the snow storm 2 weeks ago, I worked up quite a hunger. I decided to treat myself to a nice meal from one of my favorite restaurants in the area - Pho Vietnam.
If you have never had Vietnamese food, I strongly suggest it. Whenever I go here, I end up getting an assortment of appetizers and soup.
The appetizers in questions are as follows - fresh spring rolls, wrapped in rice paper with pork, shrimp, lettuce and mint. Crab wontons and Vietnamese egg rolls (nothing like Chinese eggrolls). I love this stuff, delicious finger food, not the healthiest but who cares. This assortment comes with three different dipping sauces, sweet, vinegary and sweet/spicy.. what these sauces are called I couldn't tell you, but I like the variety.
I also enjoyed a nice hot and sour soup. This soup is also nothing like it's Chinese counter part. The broth is delicious and complex tasting. Tons of veggies (sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli) shrimp and pineapple.
If you are ever in the area and want to try something a bit different I suggest you give this place a try, it is seriously delicious. I did not get it tonight, but I also recommend one of their Vermicelli noodle bowls, Lemongrass and Shrimp or Red Curry and Coconut Milk dishes.
My rating: 4 out of 5
