"Snagglepuss Saves The Day"
While I was getting down in the Ghetto, and buying some cheap Chinese New Years Cards (for only $1 each at the Asian Market across the strip mall), I was starving, so I gave this place another go after quite awhile. Either they had improved with cleanliness and food quality, or I was really really hungry...but the Pho was pretty decent this time.
The poor excuse for a waiter, was a scurvy looking missing front tooth Viet dude, whom I will call Mr. Snagglepuss for the hell of it. Mr. Snagglepuss, appeared to have no clue as to what the hell I was asking. I kept saying and gesturing, if my order could be "fast" or ready quick (since I had to get back to work). After a minute, I decided that I was slowing the speed of my order down by my asking questions, so I just pointed to #1 on the Menu...and off raced Mr. Snagglepuss.
While I was watching Egypt go nuts on CNN, Mr. Snagglepuss finally brought my order. The Basil was kind of pathetic, but the broth, beef, and noodles were fine. I thought #1 had Tendon (my fav) but I did not see any. I put my usual hot sauce, plum sauce, and stinky rotten fish sauce in, as well as, the dish of fixins, stirred, and wolfed it down. Not bad at all...and no MSG after-shocks noted this time (but I just had a small bowl).
When I went to pay, there was Mr. Snagglepuss, and maybe his wife(?), who also looked like she had Scurvy or Beriberi or something. Poor Mr. & Mrs. Snagglepuss really need some Vitamins or stay away from whatever they are hooked on (and get a damned dentist for my sake). These unsavory characters really distracted from my Ghetto-dinning pleasure.
Anyway, thank you Snagglepusses for providing a decent Ghetto-Pho experience! So upgrade from Eek to OK!
