Pho Hong
I’m officially hooked on Vietnamese food — a good addiction for once. This evening, I had takeout from Pho Hong, a new (to me) Vietnamese restaurant on North Winooski Ave. I’ve wanted to try it since I discovered it on the way to the mountain a couple weeks ago.
I ordered the usual: Bun Thit Nurong (Vietnamese grilled chicken over vermicelli) and Cha Gio Chi (spring roll stuffed with cabbage, carrots, and wood mushrooms). When I got home I kept getting sidetracked; by the time I relaxed and sat down to eat, it was a bit cold. Regardless, it was good and I am satisfied.
I can’t say how it compares to Pho Bang because I’ve only been to both restaurants once. It is much closer to HQ and within walking distance, so it has that going for it.
Before I went to Pho Hong, I saw In Bruges at the Palace 9. The plan was to also see There Will be Blood afterwards, but we decided that would be a bit much for one afternoon. I’m not good at verbalizing my feelings about movies (or anything else), so I’m not even going to try. The best I can do is say it was entertaining, humorous, and violent. Plus, for 101 minutes, I was distracted from complaining.
It was nice to take a break, but I should get back to all the things I want to, have to, and promised I would do. I really just want to sit on the couch and read until I fall asleep.
