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 .

XOXO

There are so many topics to write about that I had encountered yesterday with my mom as we’re talking in the car when we’re heading to our destination. The topic in the car was my mom was telling me she has a best friend who had post XOXO BFF Forever. My mom was asking me can someone as best friend can only be friends in that kind of way or do these people have some kind of chemistry that they become more than just friends. Sometimes you question what people post and write down in the media as they post pictures of their best friends regardless they have a commitment relationship that is not open to the public or they are just mainly best friends who just express their feelings to wildly online just for people to be curious what kind of relationship they have for each other. What happen when your best friend post pictures to female to female what do they become? Do you even ask your friend about it or do you mind your own business and not bother to question what they post...

Salad Stop!

I have been eating salad and I wish they had a Sweet Tomato Branch like in California where you can eat a salad, but have other main dish meals along with your food. There is no place like here in the Philippines that are so healthy like back home. The most places you will find in the Philippines are buffet restaurant from the healthy and unhealthy or salad places that just serve just a salad bar. Nothing compares to what you have in California just base on where you now live. I have found a place called, Salad stop is a place you can create your own salad and decide what you want to put on your own meal the healthy way. You can choose either a salad bowl or on a tortilla of your choice. Anything is possible in salad stop. Or you can choose from their menu suggested salad if you don't feel like creating your own salad. https://www.saladstop.ph/en/menu/ You can choose to visit their branch or have it delivered at your home by using Grab Food Exp...

Being Grateful

Just over the weekend my mom wanted to go shopping at Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan to get her pedicure. I was telling my mom lets do it on March 11 when I will be renewing another cell phone contract from my Globe account. Good thing my mom said, she wanted to shop somewhere else and she gave me list of days to pick out for this week. I told my mom let me check the schedule of my boys so I can figure out how I can squeeze myself in their schedule. I decided to go on Monday, March 2 with my mom. When I came home that day I had heard in the news there was a locked down in Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan. You realize to this point if I didn't choose a date to shop with my mom somewhere else we would be involve in that locked down. This is when you realize it is not your time to experience something as horrible as those 50 people have experience that day when a gun man held 50 people hostage. You realize how lucky you are and God holds you back no...

Finding Trustful Sellers in the Philippines

The best part when you visit your seller who you usually shop from at 168 Shopping Mall, 999 Shopping Mall and Tutuban Shopping Mall. They end up missing you when you haven’t seen them for a very long time. They start asking why you haven’t come by their store for awhile. You tell them you don’t go out shopping due to the coronavirus they had informed me that is not the in thing here because they don’t feel you can get it. As you are walking around with a disposable mask some people are wearing a mask just like you, there are others don’t have any mask on. The ones who are coughing don’t have a mask and you feel safe because you have one on. You also notice there are a lot of people wearing their disposable mask on the wrong way as the wire are on the area of their chin when the right way the wire is suppose to be in your nose area where you can pinch it to the size of your nose. I have seen people look at us as we pass by them, but they also have a mask on. Not ...
