Miss Saigon banh mi and shaved ice

Miss Saigon Vietnamese Bistro Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Back to Miss Saigon Friday night to try a couple more things before their 25%-off Grand Opening special drops to 20% next week. I had the phở before I gave their bánh mì and shaved ice a go.
After comparing notes with a few friends, their phở is "standard sized", and the amount of meat in their bánh mì is average.

Grilled Meat Bánh Mì ($5.25) choice of chicken or pork
  • Went with chicken. Meat was actually quite tasty, like satay chicken minus the satay sauce. Too bad the flavour was covered up by the veggies and bread. I suppose you could isolate the flavour by taking out the meat, then eat your remaining veggie sub with liberal amounts of hoisin sauce or hot sauce provided at the table (no, those coloured bottles aren't mustard and ketchup).
Shaved Ice - Red Bean ($4) served with tapioca and coconut cream
  • They had no fruits (eh?) that day so I had to choose the bean desserts.
  • Where's my tapioca?
  • Shaved ice on top fell off when I was trying to scoop out something to go with it. So I just at it off. It was plain water shaved ice -- i.e., tasteless. This is a shaved ice dessert?
  • Remaining stuff in the cup was tasteless green jelly, red bean, and presumably coconut cream. Tasted like red bean and coconut.
  • At least the damage was only $3 ($4, minus 25% Grand Opening discount).
Come here for cheap OK meals. Go somewhere else for a proper dessert. Richmond if you can handle that, like Mango Mama where for a couple dollars more you can get a whopping big flavoured ice dessert with fruit.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines). Here's the e-mail exchange: Melissa e-mail #1 Here is my picture as attached. Please e-mail me details what you are looking for along with your pictures. Thanks and waiting to hear from you soon.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
