Vietnamese Carpaccio and Shrimp on a Sugar Cane Stick at Pho Xe Lua
I usually stick to Washington Ave for my Vietnamese fix, but while on my way to Harmony Bakery for another dose of yogurt pop (yes, I am completely addicted), I noticed Pho Xe Lua- a Viet and Thai restaurant with an enticing neon image of a train in the window. I filed it in my mental roladex that is reserved strictly for restaurants and unfortunately does not retain any information that would aid me during finals week. When I made my way back, I stuck to the Vietnamese part of the menu, specifically the more snack type options. There was one appetizer and one lunch bowl in particular that will be permanently stored in that roladex so I access whenever I need to recommend some non-pho related Viet food in Chinatown.
