I Think I'm in Love with a Lotus

Posting this from work, just got back from lunch, and I had some of the most delicious phở I've ever had.

For those of you who have not had the chance to sample this Vietnamese dish, it is a delicious combination of rice noodles, meat and/or vegetables and herbs in a savory beef broth. It's usually accompanied by a plate of bean sprouts, Thai basil, and peppers as well as a selection of optional sauces (generally a spicy pepper sauce, "Rooster" hot sauce, hoisin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). I generally two-fist my eating of said dish; spoon in my left hand, chopsticks in my right hand, slowly working the soup down with constant, measured consumption.

Anyway, the phở I had today was absolutely amazing; the flavor was perfect, ideal, it was well priced, and had a wide selection of meats (and more meat than I'm used to) in the bowl. The only thing really lacking was meatballs, which I enjoy the flavor and texture of, to really set the soup off.

For those of you who are curious, the name of the restaurant is Blue Lotus, and is located at Main and 228th in Carson. Very, very good.

Well, that's all for now.

To your grace and enlightenment,
