Do you know what is popping up everywhere these days, other than Starbucks on every block? Pho. That’s right, pho. Pronounced “fuh”, not “foh” or “faw” or “po”. I simply do not understand. Pho (Vietnamese rice noodle soup) is usually not my first lunch or dinner choice. Maybe I just grew up eating …

The Night Owl, Fullerton, CA
I realized that it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a desserts/coffee house. As a coffee snob, I’m constantly on the lookout for the best coffee place around, or at least a good one that’s also closest to wherever I happen to be. It’s no easy task but it’s what makes driving around …

Hu Tieu Thanh Xuan, Westminster, CA
I was craving for something noodle-y soup-y and it was either egg noodle or glass noodle (hu tieu) for me, my two preferred types of noodle. They’re tastier to me than vermicelli and pho noodles. Hu Tieu Thanh Xuan came to mind because they have both. It was either this place or My …

What’s On My Mind…
Macaroons. I do admit they are pretty and colorful to look at, but I’ve never really quite understood what the big deal about these things was. All the women around me would be raving about how they go crazy for macaroons like they’re …diamonds. I’ve eaten them before and they were just “normal …

Saigon de Pho, Main Place, Santa Ana, CA
I must say, it’s a huge risk to open up a swanky new pho restaurant inside and in the middle of a shopping mall – not the food court – where there isn’t a lot of traffic, sometimes even on the weekends. If my aunt hadn’t told me about Saigon de Pho, I …
