It also says "Premium Juumai Sake"... dunno if that means anything... :crazy:

That would be sake made by your younger female cousin? j/k :)

I think it might be "junmai", which is sake that is only made from rice, kouji, and water, no added alchohol or sugar.

At least that's what this article I've been reading says about sake.

Is there such a thing as sake light??? :headscratch:

There is a Sho Chiku Bai Light.

In london and am enjoying yummmmmmmmmm Indian food !! sugoi..

eaten it after sooo long.

I walked past a Pho restaurant today called Pho32. It was in Flushing Queens, NY. Does anyone know if this is a part of a chain of restaurants?Also what is your favoriite type of Pho? Any suggestions for when I finally try it? The restaurant caught my eye because it had picture of smoothies on its window. Anybody ever tried a taro smoothie? :)

Who knows in a week or two I could become a pho fan! :D

For me, I like to order the "Dac Biet" meaning special in vietnamese. My AIM Screen is PhoDacBietSoMot so I guess you can see which Pho bowl I like to order. In the Dac Biet bowl, theres all sorts of meat, but I think they usually leave out the meat ball, chicken, and pork...mostly beef in it.

I don't know if Pho 32 is a chain, but here there is a Pho 54, which use to be good, but I don't eat there anymore. As for the Taro Smoothie....I haven't tried it, but I hear its good. I usually get Strawberry or Honeydew :victory: but....only at King Eggroll (Free for me).

I hope I helped you in choosing what Pho bowl to try first and if you like it Im sure you'll be a Pho Fan right there and then :hehe:

Thanks K.T.! I really appreciate your answer. I'll probabaly be able to try it in another week or so. If Pho wasn't mentioned in this thread I probabaly would have walked right by that restaurant and not known it was the name of a bowl of food. You are the best! :say_thanx:

I'm glad I was able to help you out :woot:

If you got any other question about any type of Vietnamese food, hopefully i can help you out :fingerscrossed:

Thanks for the offer K.T. How kind of you. I love learning about foods I've never tried before. After I go to Pho32 I'll probably have plenty of questions for you. I'm sure you will have the answers. :D

I wonder how that would taste.... :crazy:

Yo!

Yours truly is on vacation right now and spent Saturday in New York City, Sunday evening in Boston.

Saturday dinner at Cafe Swish:
http://www.menupages.com/restaurantdetails.asp?areaid=0&restaurantid=4861&neighborhoodid=14&cuisineid=0
Mediocre Japanese chow, mediocre service, fun atmosphere. Overpriced, PC says not worth a visit.


Drinks and after hours music at the Blue Note:
http://www.bluenote.net/newyork/index.shtml
Nice lookin' appetizers, klutzy waitresses, and a smooth martini in this jazzy gin joint. PC says check it out.


Sunday brunch at Eatery near Midtown:
http://www.eaterynyc.com/
Cool atmosphere and hip 80s new wave music, pleasant food, excellent service. PC says check it out.


Stopped by the real Soup Nazi's kitchen but it was closed! No soup for me! :mecry:


Sunday dinner at Penang in Boston:
http://www.penangusa.com/location_boston.html
Malaysian cuisine, terrific sauces, but unremarkable vegetable quality compared to California. Due to the red tide in the northestern USA, they had to use frozen shellfish, which proved dry. The striped bass was also frozen and unfortunately dry. PC says check it out, when the red tide is over.



Bon appetit from the Northeast, :drink:

Yo MCB!

Am here with my new GF, we flew into Boston to visit her lil' sister, then drove down to Manhattan to visit my friend D', who just graduated medical school and is starting his residency there. D's new wife L' is there too for this holiday weekend, but she's got a year left of optometry school in Chicago. L's brother R', who is also one of my best friends, is there in NYC too, so the 5 of us had a blast in the big apple.



Peace,
PCM

Oh no. I don't drink that light crap. I know of it because we sell it at Marukai. And I'm in charge of the sake, beer, and soft drinks. :hehe: :beaten: (go figure)

Oh man, that sounds delicious!
Gotta work tomorrow. Wonder what I'm going to eat? Probably a Marukai bento for lunch and instant ramen for dinner, since I'm working at Vuitton.
Off on Tuesday at least. I can have my own personal post 4th of July party then! :hehe:
