Seeing that I ate at The Seafood Shack, which is a similar Cajun/Creole crawfish place, my friend suggested that maybe I should try Kickin’ Crab, too, and compare. So I thought, sure why not. I mean, one or two more crawfish houses and I will have eaten at all of Cajun crawfish restaurants …

Homemade Pho, Popular Vietnamese Rice Noodle Soup
Who says you can’t have fun with food? Or at least have fun with the name. If you feel the urge to curse at someone, rather saying the “F” word, feel free to say What the pho?! 😀 That’s like cursing but not really cursing. LOL! You’ve probably heard many variations of use for …

Mon Ami Cafe, Garden Grove, CA
My entire family came to Mon Ami for dinner after attending my cousin’s high school graduation. We pretty much tore up the restaurant by taking up the whole half of the place. Good times! Because there were so many people, we were able to try a bunch of different Vietnamese and Vietnamese/French fusion dishes. …
