House Special Rice Cake

 

Another place Bang and I checked out during our walk about in Houston, Texas. Fried rice cakes in an omelette?! Not the strangest cuisine I’ve ever had, an interesting combination. Definitely can’t eat too many of these though. The rice cakes are indeed crispy, but they’ve also soaked up a good bit of oil. Super heavy.

While walking around the streets of Houston, my friend Bang tells me that he and his family always used to come here to eat their Banh Mi. A quality Banh Mi shop?! Count me in!!

Pho Binh Bellaire | Houston, Texas USA

Ho brothers eating

 

Pho Ga Kho; chicken pho with a very flavorful chicken broth on side

 

One of the best Pho at a restaurant I’ve had to date. When my good friends Bang and Kiem Ho said this place has some great Pho, they weren’t kidding. I went with the unique recommendation of the ph? gà khô which translates to ‘dry chicken noodle soup’. Unique because the soup, first of all, is of a chicken broth as opposed to the typical beef broth. Secondly, the noodles are served dry (without the soup), allowing you to pour the chicken broth as needed. Finally, they dress the top of the noodles with pieces of chicken, egg, and fried shallots and assorted herbs.

A lovely meal with good friends!
