Restaurants Memorial Day Memories, Part the Third: Pho So Show

Just as the Fox family found few places for a suitable Memorial Day meal--or anywhere that was open, really--the Wood family struck out in search of a favorite. We planned on Miss Saigon, off Charlotte Avenue, but it was shut up tight, and so was Kien Giang, its across-the-parking-lot competition. So we retreated to Pho Yen Hoa, where we've had one good meal and one fair one.

We ordered seaweed salad, goi cuon (spring rolls), pho with rare steak, mussels and more. And we witnessed a miniature domestic situation unfolding at a table near ours. Here's how it went:

Man, addressing woman: "Soooo?"

Woman, scowling: "So? SO?!!" Woman grabs keys, stands up. "SO!!!" And leaves the restaurant.

That was the show. What about the pho? You know, so-so.

First, Pho So Show and then Crust Lust. You've become a clever punomaniac.

Thank you for noticing. No pun is ever wasted on Bites readers.

Bites sent me on a Pho hunt once and I ended up here.
It was my first bowl and I very much enjoyed it, but I ordered something called salty lemonade and thought I had just been punk'd.

We got the salty lemonade too! It was ... a surprise, but I liked it. You know, not enough to get it again, but I liked the salty lemonade sucked through that layer of palm sugar at the bottom. It's weird, I know.

Yuck, I didn't like that, but the Vietnamese coffee! Ooohh.
