This is my entry for @karenmckersie's #foodboasting contest. Here's a link to the contest!
My good old friend came to attend a course, so we made plans to meet for dinner! I was looking forward to see her, because times for us to catch up after we have become mothers and being apart in different cities have become rare.
We decided to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant, An Viet in the Gardens Mall. I have always seen this restaurant having full house so having just two of us, it is a good time to try, because it is easier to get seats.
We ordered the Pho, of course. I ordered mine with raw beef slices, tendons, ligmamets and also intestines while she ordered hers with 70% cooked beef slices. Wow, the beef is super juicy, tender and thin!! We love the tasty soup too. It goes very well with my lemongrass ginger drink. Such a great delicious dinner!
This restaurant is very interesting. It advocates environment conservation. They encourage us to order a smaller portion and we can add the noodle later if we still want for free to avoid food wastage. It comes in 90g, 120g and 160g. At the same time, they discourage and have no straw at all to avoid plastic pollution. I am impressed.
It was a lovely catch up, good place to chit chat till we forgot about time and the mall was about to close. I guess we went back to our old times, before we have children. What a good nice time together!
