Weekly Wanderings {week 18}
When you have a case of the Mondays… a fun breakfast helps. 😀
~~~~~~~~~~
Met some friends at Manpuku for Japanese BBQ.
… or Korean BBQ? I’m still not entirely sure.
Either way, it was seriously delicious.
And soooo much food. It wasn’t super pricey, but we still all left very satisfied.
~~~~~~~~~~
Took Son’s dad to Little Saigon for Father’s Day.
They have about a bazillion little food-to-go places, where you can buy tons of different Vietnamese foods to take home and eat later.
We somehow ended up stopping by seven of them. o_0
(I may or may not have snuck a piece of this bò lá lốt while Son and his dad were in another shop.)
Then, for dinner, we ended up at a snail place (which happened to also be the seventh food-to-go shop).
Yes, snails. In the egg rolls. It was actually pretty tasty!
Super spicy fermented pork belly (I didn’t try this one)
Pandan waffle (I *definitely* tried this one… quite a bit. 😀 )
Balogna-type meat, with snails. The fried ones were really tasty.
Banh beo – one of my favorite Vietnamese foods.
Banh canh… kind of reminds me of Japanese udon.
Banh bot loc la. The food just kept coming… and unfortunately by this time I could only have a bite of it, but it was tasty! We got some to go. 😀
~~~~~~~~~~
And, on Father’s Day, a repeat of the hot milk cake I made for his birthday this year. Good stuff. ^_^

Weekly Wanderings {week 17}
This week in my world…
Typical lunch.
Sent Son to the drugstore because we were out of potato chips, and he came back with these. Not complaining, they were actually pretty delicious.
Toast.
It felt like vacation… because the only time I’m ever somewhere that it’s this hot and humid at 9pm is on vacation. ^_^
Ear.
Gardening vicariously though the tomatoes my brother and his girlfriend planted at my dad’s house.
Baby tomato! (Also, wall.)
Some days, supermarket sushi will have to do.
Classic Santouka ramen.
Tried Rita’s Italian Ice for the first time, on my dad’s recommendation. Got the mango and vanilla gelati, and LOVED it.
Spicy tuna onigiri from the Mitsuwa Gourmet Fair. Tastes like the onigiri from Japan. <3
This onigiri was the bomb. It was even named “The Bomb”!
