Pho Super Bowl


I guess this is my last meal...I have officially retired from working at a wonderful company (full of nice people and friendly atmosphere) kinda sucks that I only found this job my last year of college.

If I would have found this going into college I wouldn't have known the hardships of "Slave-ons," now turned into CVS...and the dreadful things (bickering and complaining) that comes with a Medicare card or whatever it is that the governments give to old people who haven't saved enough money to pay for their medications >.< (enough said: cuz I'll probably end up being one of them) Well now I must prepare for my journey abroad~~~wow in less than a month, I'll be on foreign soil (Seoul, Korea) My co-workers and my manager treated my brother and me out for some Pho (Vietnamese Food) Me: because it was my last day of work and my brother: as an introduction to his first job experience via his awesome and considerate older sister (me) ^^:: (now he will not have to suffer from all the terrible jobs that come with "no experience" like I once did)
Phở, written as pho and pronounced "fuh" /fə/ or /fʌ/ by English speakers, is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup dish.

Phở is served as a bowl of white rice noodles in clear beef broth, with thin cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket). Variations featuring tendon, tripe, meatballs, chicken leg, chicken breast, or other chicken organs (heart, liver, etc.) are also available.
So when we got there around 12:15ish the place was jam packed...parking is kind of hard to get around this restaurant as the picture shows....more and more cars were coming in it was making a traffic jam all the way out to Pioneer and South!




In my opinion, this place has better Pho than I've tasted elsewhere. I always get the same thing when I come and that is the #6 Super Combination Pho (it has all the different type of meats that goes in the Pho in one dish) I always get the Super Bowl because I think the regular size is too small for me (I'll get hungry pretty fast without my extra noodles) ^^ It's only $0.50 more anyways (haha~~there's the Asian factor kicking in again)

This is what goes in the Phở




The food comes really fast!! So eat up!
Spring rolls with Oyster Sauce and some chopped peanuts



Egg Rolls that you wrap up in lettuce and dip in the vinegar fishy sauce thing...not too sure~~~cuz I ate the other one...


This place is affordable! I bet all the people that jam pack this place come here on a daily basis. The service is fast and makes up for the number of customers that come through (not a lot of wait time) but be careful they tend to rush you when it gets extremely busy. We kinda got in a little after the peak hours so we missed the mad rush.

Ashoka the Great

Right in the heart of so cal is this street called "Little India"

Where are we going today?



They play Indian music in the restaurant~~~the lunch is worth it because it's buffet style (I recalled it being about $7 per person).
I went one time for the dinner~~~not so worth it~~~didn't know what to order and ended up spending almost twice as much!

We went there last Sunday and filled our tummy with some goodies!
It's buffet style~~~so my tummy was quite satisfied~~~unlike right now *it's growling like crazy* especially when posting pictures >.<"


Plate#1
Plate #2

They have about 8 or so different curries to choose from and among them I like the lamb curry and spinach curry the best!
You should get the cucumber yogurt like I did with the curries~~~it adds flavor to it and also makes it less spicy. I like it cuz it goes GREAT with the Nan.

Plate #3

~~~what better way to finish up the meal than their rice pudding! I like how it has nuts inside it~I'm kinda picky with the raisins tho. But I highly recommend you save some tiny bit of room for this dessert. (They have other kinds of desserts too, but in my personal opinion, this rice pudding is my favorite.)

This is one of my favorite places to go when I've starved myself for several hearty meals...this food really brightens my day, makes me and my tummy happy ^^
