What the Pho!

The other night we went out to dinner at the local Vietnamese place, Pho Convoy Noodle House. Not the one on Convoy but the Chula Vista location located across the street Southwestern College. 

TC got the Bun with Beef Short Ribs. Always a good choice. Leftovers were breakfast this morning.

My MIL had the Com Tam with BBQ'd chicken. The amount of chicken seemed a bit excessive, like it was 4 portions on one plate. Again, enough for leftovers. Personally, I'm not a fan of com tam. I don't like my rice in tiny small pieces.

I got the bun with Char-Grilled Shrimp and fried egg roll, one of my favorite choices

Bert got the Pho with rare steak and flank. He really liked the broth; it wasn't too salty. It had a good beefy flavor which he enjoyed. The noodles separated at the bottom with a little bit of prodding from his chopsticks.

Bert and I shared the Blueberry Shake which was quite delicious, although the dairy in there kind of gave me a "bubbly" feeling later on.  Wut?

Notice anything?

Well, if you couldn't tell, a big hand and congrats to uber foodblogger extraordianaire Kirk from Mmm-Yoso on his first published food review "Pho Forager" in the latest SD Reader! Looking forward to reading more of his reviews in the near future!
