Pho Convoy Noodle House with the GF's

Last weekend was the belated dinner outing for Divalicious's bday. Us chicks (the educator GF's - me, TORC and the Knitting Diva) all went out to Pho Convoy Noodle House on Otay Lakes Road. It was close by for all of us.

KD got the Iced Thai Tea with boba...I don't know about you but when I drink something, I don't want to chew anything. I remember boba being a really big craze a few years back. It seems to have died down though, but what do I know? I'm an old fart!

D and I both got the Cafe Sua Da (iced espresso with condensed milk). Very refreshing for such a hot day but damn, I was wired later that night!

For starters, we got the fried spring rolls which came with a skimpy sideof lettuce (3 half pieces) and 2 sprigs of mint. I had to ask for another plate.

I got the Bun with Short Ribs. They put a lot of meat in this - I gave a few pieces to TORC...

TORC got the Shrimp Fried Rice...

The Birthday celebrant also got Short Ribs but with Com Tam (broken rice). Mmmm, I love the fat on the short ribs!

Putting us carnivores to shame was KD's bun with tofu entree. Here she is pouring some nuoc cham on it...

And because it was D's birthday, we had to have noodles to symbolize long life (a Chinese tradition picked up by Filipinos). This was stir fried noodles with chicken and vegetables.

Dessert was at my place, just a few minutes away. We had Black Forest Cake from Hans and Harry Bakery in Bonita. Sorry, no photos.  By the way, one of the gifts I gave D was the "Creative Cursing" book. I tell you, that book is the most perfect fkg gift ever. It's the gift that keeps giving. Just flip the pages and let the laughter ensue...

Last year for Divalicious' bday, we went to Royal India and Extraordinary Desserts. Click here to see that post or you shall be punished by being forced to listen to Kenny G play "Songbird" on an endless loop.
