Little Saigon Adventures

I went to Ba Le today and it was top tier. The bread was so amazing, left bread crumb mustaches and a war zone of crumbs in the parking lot.

Bang bang today with Cococane as the perfect counter to this hot humid weather.

Did you use copious amounts of the crack sate sauce?

My favorites at Sen:

Bun Cha Hanoi
Hu Tieu Tron Sen
Pate Baguette
Pho Bac Dac Biet

They also have pickled garlic on request.

McDonalds sausage egg McMuffin and Brodard spring rolls. That’s a bang bang I can get behind.

Smart move by JWA as well. I actually might arrival a little early now. 50% of airport food at JWA is easy to eat but ubiquitous pizza and pasta.

LAX, next please. Such a big airport and the food is so underwhelming.

If the quality will be the same as Little Saigon than it automatically will be the best airport food in the country lol

Bun vit Thanh da

Was looking for some goi ga and stumbled upon this place. Looked kinda of newish.

Apparently they do goi vit which uses duck instead of chicken.

Hit all the right notes with spicy, herby, savory, acidic, funky, sweet and with pretty much every textural component. Transported me back to eating goi ga in Dong hoi!

Definitely check it out

Did you try the porridge?

Bun mạng vịt soups traditionally come with gởi vịt so it’s actually a great deal,

I’m not familiar with that, I googled it, is it a clear noodle duck soup?

What’s the flavor like?

It’s boiled duck and dried bamboo shoots which is the main flavor of the broth as well.

There’s some specialist places like that you went too and others. In sgv it’s pho vit 115

Been passing that a few times recently and wondered.

Nok’s spicy sausage with baguette from Boulangerie Pierre and Patisserie. So delicious. I bought the spicy sausage frozen and cooked them at home, super pungent and flavorful. Sausage is amazing with sticky rice at the restaurant, but a nice change up with the baguette.
