Pho in Hawaii

August 25, 2015 By: Mai Truong Category: Comfort food, noodle soup, Travel, Vietnamese

Near our hotel is a shopping center, where we regrettably spent more time than we should have, eating overpriced fried rice (P.F. Chang’s, no less, T__T) and okonomiyaki. The reason is just that it was hot. Unbearably, relentlessly, suppressively hot. We couldn’t walk for five minutes without perspiring like the underside of the lid of a cheap rice cooker right after the rice is cooked. Being the indoor sloths we are, we ditched the inner foodie, became the very tourists lounging out at American chain restaurants while on vacation whom we cannot understand, and dined at the mall. It was actually satisfying.

Oxtail pho at Pho Old Saigon (14.60). I haven’t seen oxtail pho in the mainland, but it’s strangely and pleasantly everywhere in Oahu’s pho menus. Pho Factory also serves it. The oxtail is meaty, softer (fattier) than the usual rare steak/brisket option.

Pho Old Saigon is your typical Vietnamese pho shop in the States: rectangular dining room with the cashier in the back, no frills, laminated menu, plastic chopsticks.

Pho was a light, easy-to-eat, good-at-all-time meal on those hot days.

  24. In the grand pattern of things you get a B+ just for effort. Exactly where you actually misplaced me personally ended up being on your facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be more true in this article. Having said that, let me tell you just what did give good results. Your text is actually very engaging and this is probably why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can notice a jumps in logic you make, I am not certain of just how you seem to unite your points which inturn produce the actual conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but hope in the future you connect the facts better.
