today, i went to a ridiculously good (and so cheap!) vietnamese restaurant with my dad and my brother for dinner. i was kind of feeling like pho, but i decided to flip through the whole menu and see what they had. i was so excited when i saw that they had the 7 courses of beef for $12, i slammed the menu shut and ordered it right away! the waiter was like, whoa, can you finish that? and i was like, HELL yes!
since i am camera-less, i couldn't fulfill the asian/blogger duty of taking pictures of my food, but it was absolutely delicious! the first course was raw slices of beef to cook in broth, and then there were little meatballs, grilled beef and ginger rolls, beef wrapped with grape leaves, and this enormous meatball that had peas in it. then came beef salad, and finally, beef soup. and of course, spring roll fixins with everything. i really did finish it all...while my dad and brother sat and watched and refused to help. oh, except for the giant meatball, which had whole peppercorns in it...eating it was like trying to navigate a minefield.
did you know that the 7 courses of beef is supposed to be just for weddings? oh well...
