After a long day of errands in Fremont, Carmina's dad found himself yearning for the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, igniting a culinary adventure that would tantalize his taste buds.

  After doing errands with the family my dad wanted to eat Vietnamese food in the area of Fremont . My dad brought us to  Pho Lan Noodles House  for our lunch. We all decided to eat one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. We had ordered some appetizers fried wanton and fried chicken with fish sauce . My dad had ordered Lemongrass chicken include with rice and salad in his meal but was already full when he had eaten his wife's meal. She had ordered the Chicken Banh Mi and chicken clear soup. I wanted to try their Pork Banh Mi sandwich and requested no jalapeno pepper on it. The sandwich is quite big had to slice it in the middle and the remaining was for takeout. The filling of the pork was a lot of serving soft and tender had a lot of flavoring. The bread was also soft even if it was toasted. Family members had ordered the Garlic Chow Mein with Shrimp .

Last Minute Shopping

I don't understand why people like to ask something from someone when they already know the person is coming over to visit you and inform you last minute what they request you to bring for you.

This is what I hate the most when they we're informed one month ahead that you will be coming over to visit them.

Later you are talking to them and letting them which hotel you will be staying at during your stay and where you would like to spend time with them. As you have been conversation with them as you give your agenda for your upcoming trip and give all the details where you will meet on that certain day.

Everything is all planned up for your venue you than hear can you do me a favor sometimes you are hesitant to ask what they favor maybe. You don't want to be greedy because that person will be showing you around where you have no clue how to go about in their environment that they live in.

You say, sure what is that favor you want me. The person tells you they miss the food in the Philippines and would like you to bring some snacks for them.

The hardest part when you are not familiar in what they are asking for because too much brain storming in your head.

My family back home does that too often ask me to bring stuff for them and I only have one week to look for what they want.

The worse part when the item is no longer available and the only thing you can tell your family to just buy it where they live.

I have also encounter my in-law asking me to buy something from California and they knew I have been away for more than a month yet they think buying something out of the blue is easy to purchase right away.

This all becomes a headache when you have shipped out boxes ahead of time and thinking you would have space in your luggage for recent purchase you have already made.

This is why I can understand why I have relatives who decide not to tell us when they are coming and just surprise us from their arrival. They too have to deal with family members asking them to buy them certain stuff that they too have no space for what they are asking for.

It becomes a pain when someone doesn't think ahead of time and you get all stress for something that seems already planned in your head.
