Just a couple of revisits for a slow moving Sunday……
Alforon:
Man, during my last couple of visits, business sure was slammin'. It's good to see this little mom-and-pop joint. On this visit, I just had a Chicken Tawook ($5.75), which arrived looking just plain delish.
And some garlic paste and pickles to go of course!

Spicy House:
A friend and I dropped by Spicy House for lunch recently.
We had the Pork Intestines with Preserved Vegetable. This was pretty good.
Except the slices of preserved vegetable were really cut too large. Decent flavoring, the intestines had a nice musty-funky flavor without going over the top.
We also had the Crispy Fried Eel with Peppers.
Unfortunately, this dish was a mere shadow of what I had before. Too salty, soggy, and very greasy. It seems that Spicy House has hit a plateau.

Sultan Kebab and Baklava:
I guess I've posted enough on Sultan already. But this is the Missus's latest favorite. We've been eating here quite often recently. So I'll just go with photos.

Pho Hiep and Grill – Linda Vista:
We never really had fog where I grew up, so it still has some fascination to me. On a recent foggy morning…..
I'm not sure when spring is going to start this year……. it's been pretty chilly. So, a bowl of Pho just seemed to be the perfect thing. I headed over to Pho Hiep and Grill for a bowl.
Maybe it was too early in the morning? The broth on this day was lighter than any I've had here before. The flavors just seemed diluted. The meat were fine, but I left somewhat unsatisfied……
