I had too much to drink on the 30th of December, cause it was my friend's birthday. The next day.....I was having one of the worst hangovers I've ever had. My boyfriend was hungry, and there was nothing I wanted to eat other than some pho. Yes...I have no clue why. Maybe because I saw one of my friends' post on Facebook that he and his wife had a bowl of Pho and it was awesome. I wanted something warm, good and soupy. We decided to just drive to Kaiserslautern and hope that one of the two Vietnamese places that we knew was open. Saigon was closed, according to him who called the place. We walked to this place, and yes it was open, thank god.
He ordered sushi, egg rolls and chicken satay looking thing. I had no idea what he ordered cause I was so focused on pho. No I didn't see the sushi he ordered. He ate them like nothing, even before I had a chance to look at them. The egg rolls were alright, just typical egg rolls. My bowl of pho came with cilantros and bean sprouts in them already. No I absolutely hate bean sprouts. Eww, they look like ewww. So I picked every single one of them out to a plate. While I was working on making my bowl of pho edible for me, my boyfriend got his chicken satay with peanut sauce. He said he didn't like the fact that the chicken was deep fried which in his opinion didn't go well with peanut sauce. When I tried, it was alright. But who am I to know what the real Asian food is like?! I liked it.
Finally I got to eat my bowl of pho. First off, a lot of beef. Yes, way more slices than I was used to back in Colorado Springs. Two, they were delicious....though cilantro stems weren't exactly my favorite, I do love cilantro in my pho. Three, not a big fan of flat glass noodles that they used. I don't remember the noodles being flat in CO, but I might be wrong.
Overall, it was good. The service was not exactly the fastest, but the waitress was nice. Oh one thing, the female bathroom....well the gap between the door and the toilet when you open the door is actually skinnier than my leg. So you will have to stand with your legs apart before opening the door to get out of the bathroom. If you didn't have the same issue and you've been to this bathroom, well good for you. Maybe you should tell me what you did. read more
