Sam Woo for breakfast

mmm-yoso!!! is a blog.  You are reading it.  Cathy happens to be writing today.  This is because Kirk and His Missus are (still) on vacation and ed(from Yuma) is (still) working.

Hi.  Quick post about what The Mister and I eat when we go out on weekends.  I've posted about Sam Woo in 2007  and not much has changed, except the breakfast choices are now $3.50  each and coffee and hot tea are 30 cents each. 

We are always torn between the #1 or the last one on the menu.  This is #1: rice noodle with luncheon meat, egg and onion.  (The last one on the menu is rice instead of the noodles with the same ingredients; it is #33 or some number close to that.  The only two menu items with egg and luncheon meat(which is a euphemism for fake Spam, by the way)).

We always get a noodle and dumpling soup, either the won tons (5) -pork and a half shrimp inside each one, or the shrimp dumplings (5) with a whole shrimp in each one.  There is cabbage, egg noodles and the broth is always rich and deeply flavored.

Then I usually want some sort of BBQ'd meat with noodles.  This day it was BBQ duck.  Tender duck, crispy skin with a layer of fat.  The broth for dipping is the same deep broth as used for the soup, but the noodles and meat are topped with an anise flavored juice/broth.

You can see the sweetened condensed milk container that comes with the concentrated drip coffee in the background. ( really, it is 30 cents a cup at breakfast).

and, my token photo of the condiments on the table:  I end up using the chili oil when I am almost finished, just for a kick to the noodles.

All of this food, two coffees and two teas for $12.35, including tax.

Go out for breakfast this weekend.  Anywhere. Enjoy your life.
