Pho so good// Tuesday
It was rather an impromptu plan with mumsie for dinner and I wanted to shop around NEX so much. Actually not NEX but one of the shop from NEX. * you got my hint*.
I came across this advertisement from MDS collection regarding about the promotion that was on-going for weeks. Not sure if anyone has seen it. They are having their promotion whereby if you get 3 pieces of any apparel from their shop, the third piece will be discounted for 50% ( the lowest price applied) and also you are entitled to join their membership to reward a 10% discount on your every visit, 20% off on your birthday month. Sounds like a great deal, isnt it?
As I frequently patron their shop, having to buy their apparel with fixed price can really burn my pockets. Before the promotion was in, at least you need to spend $150 to be their member! Too me, its alot! However, I only spent $70 on that day to secure my membership ( to the win, I saved $80).
Im off the track! The main point wasn't about MDS. I was supposed to blog about the dinner I had with Mum ( pardon for the long tale stories).
I have been passing by this shop for umpteen times but I didn't get a chance to try it out because I didn't want to disappoint myself from my own choice. I'm not a fan of Vietnamese delight so it gave me a second thought when Mum wants to try. Since Mum always follow my own way, why not make this an exemption to go her way.
Im so spoiled for choice because there are so many dishes to choose from. Their menu are named in Vietnamese Language but Im glad that they have translated to English for us to read.
Vietnamese "Pho"sliced beef and beef balls noodle soup ($8.80)
At least this dish that doesnt need a translation. HAH, anyway I have seen many people ordering their signature dish. It would be just a beef noodle soup but different people will have different views. Personally for myself, this bowl of beef noodles was refreshing, you don't feel thirsty after sipping the soup. The clear broth with some amount of spring onion and spinach added on to the flavour well. At the same time, the beef meat wasn't too raw ( I really hate raw food alot!) and was in so much tender and chewy!
Ganuong Sa ($9.80)
Grilled lemon chicken set
Xoi che vdi xoai ($4.90)
Mango with glutinous rice
What main dish without dessert? I was scanning through the dessert in the menu but they only have two choices. Either creamy caramel pudding or mango glutinous rice. In anyway, definitely going to choose the mango sticky rice! I really missed the times that I had it at BKK> back to mention it again.
The mango is sweet and soft. What I love was the caramel sauce that was hidden inside the rice. Coconut and panda rice were involved too! Overall, it was a pleasant dessert served.
