Food Review: Pho Grand, St. Louis
Aaahhhhh, Pho Grand. Despite thinking mid-day that perhaps we should check out someplace new for dinner, we ended up at Pho Grand. And halfway through the meal we knew why. Damn, I love that place. It meets my two major qualifications for a good find in a restaurant -- 1) Reasonably priced. 2) Great food.
The Hubs and I started off with Cafe Sua Da -- a French Roast coffee with sweetened condensed milk and ice. It is both strong and creamy at the same time -- in a really yummy intense coffee sort-of-way.
For appetizers we had Gui Cuon -- Spring Rolls. Oh so good and fresh -- perfect for summer and the dipping sauce is to die for. They seem pretty easy -- now I just need to figure out how to make them.
The Hubs got Bun Bo Xao, Beef tenderloin stifried with onions and bean sprouts over vermicelli noodles, his all-time favorite. I got Bun Thit Nuong Chia Guo -- Vermicelli noodles with eggroll, lemongrass and charbroiled pork. Wow. This stuff is so great I can't even describe it. It is the perfect blend of meat, noodles and an egg roll for fun. For those of you who have never had Vietnamese food -- go for something like this. Noodles in a lovely broth with veggies, meat (if you choose) and a little yummy eggroll and you can't go wrong.
One note -- don't keep your leftovers on top of the desk in your hotel room over night and expect them to actually consumable. :)
