Bittermelon is definitely an acquired taste. I LOVE IT!~ I usually eat it in a broth (like soup) over rice to take down the intensity of the flavor. It's pretty good... my mother takes out the white parts inside (which makes it VERY bitter) and stuffs it with this pork (or beef) and glass noodle mixture. Very delicious!~ However... I am the only child who can eat it... unlike my three other siblings. Lol... you should try it sometime!~

Its first U.S. store is scheduled to open in Los Angeles in 2007, and it hopes to open 20 stores in California by 2010.

You know I'd be there all the time.

Takoyaki is the shiznit.
Too bad that pretty much all you can find in Hawaii is just 'tako-ball' and not the real-deal Takoyaki like they have it in Osaka.. :(

I'll have to wait a few hundred years before there's a takoyaki shop around here. :(

Members of D-addicts posted this in the Viet Community Thread and I thought it was interesting.

I would definately no eat at "What the Pho" or "Pholicious" :shakehead:
I wouldn't trust the place.

It's probably not all that Pholicious and I would be saying What the hell kinda Pho is this
