I didn’t post last night because my pictures are a bit dark, but this morning I figured “what the heck.” This will be quick though, because it is just a recap, no breakfast has happened here yet!
First, I have to give Saigon Cafe major props: I called at 5 and asked for a reservation for 10 at 7pm and they said “no problem.” Plus a few people were late and the waitress was totally nice about waiting for them. P.S. We went with a group of medical student friends.
I started with the veggie tempura appetizer. Here was my serving.

It was good(ish), but I was a little disappointed, I ordered it because it listed okra and there was none to be found!
For dinner I really did want to try something new, but I can’t help it, I always order Pad See Eiw!

This was delicious, but by far not the best I’ve ever had. We would go back to this restaurant, but not until we’ve tried a few other Thai places in the area.
Afterdinner half of us walked to the bar next door to hang out. I think everyone only got one round, but we were there for more than an hour. I got an Abita Purple Haze.

I adore Abita, so this didn’t disappoint, but I’m a total lightweight so I gave 1/3 to the husband.
On the way home I was either – a. a total fattie; b. a glutton for punishment; c. a little drunker than I thought, d. still rather hungry; or e. all of the above – because we totally got Wendy’s again! I don’t have a picture, but question answered, I can not eat this anymore! I got the same this as the day before (fries and nuggets, although I might have added a frosty), ate less than half of it, and got totally sick again. I didn’t throw up but I was close. We never eat much fast food usually so I’m not sure why we’ve been all about it lately, but we are certainly done!
Recap finished = time to start today!
What is your favorite Thai dish? I really do like them all, but I can’t stop ordering broad rice noodles!
Hahah – I do the same thing with almonds. They make me sick , and I always eat them. Just plain stupid. Also, there was a restaurant called Saigon Cafe where I grew up and I loved it – my favorite is Pad Thai.
So, Saigon Cafe is a Thai place, not Vietnamese?
Alice – haha, yeah. It’s a Thai place, but they reconcile the Vietnamese name by calling it Thai/Vietnamese even though there is only one Vietnamese item on the menu!
