Ham Hung Korean Restaurant

I was fortunate enough that my camera phone cooperated well.  Usually I'd get an unacceptable shot for a post.   It's either that or we were too hungry to even photograph an entree.

It was a rainy Saturday morning and we took the kids to the doctor for a check-up.  Major seasonal allergy flare-up that needs to be checked since Children's Claritin is not working anymore.  It had been a week and it worries me a bit.  Just a bit since there were no signs of fever or malaise.  We found out that it was really just an allergy, and the kids just needed a nose spray that should take care of the congestion.

For lunch, we thought of dining out after 2 weeks of cooking at home.  We wanted to chill out as a family and have a serene time together.  Dining out is one of our comfort zones on rainy days.  We thought of a good hot soup to keep us warm and soothed. 

Ham Hung Korean Restaurant is the perfect choice at this time of the day.  They have appetizing soup that you can drink all you can.  You heard that right.  We drank it like crazy.  It's refillable.

A Sunny PHO' Sunday

Weekends are the days we usually explore different cuisines.  
Since today was a beautiful fine Sunday, 
we decided to head for Pho as our lunch treat after Church.
Here are some of our favorites at Pho Vietnamese Restaurant.
Charbroiled Beef, Meat Ball & Shrimp Cake
served with Steamed Rice.

This dish was my son's favorite meal.  He asks for this every time
we dine in.  But he gets to split it with his sister too.  My daughter loves the
meatball with her noodles once the soup was all gone.
Charbroiled Pork, Meat Ball, Eggroll served with
Vermicelli.

This is one of my favorite dishes there.  Vermicelli satisfies my appetite
when we're craving for Vietnamese cuisine.  This is a large bowl
and I split it with my husband.  It's a big bowl so better share it than
leave with such a full tummy.
Hu Tieu Tom Thit is a shrimp and pork noodle soup
 served with clear noodles.

This is my daughter's share of the soup sans all the shrimps, pork slices
and garnishings.  The soup has been split into four already before
I could even get a nice picture.
