I finally tried that newish Vietnamese cafe near Lamar and 183. Cafe de Bella. I’ve been craving banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) since November 2007 (When I got lockjaw). I thought I’d torture my jaw some to quiet my craving. It’s kind of tucked away in the same shopping center as Din ho and is really charming when you walk in. Clean, cafe-ish, cute.
Aside from the sandwiches, they also have popular American-Chinese dishes (General Tso’s, etc), hot pot, coffees, and shaved ice. I may have to come back and try the other things out. I got the Dac Biet banh mi. Delicious. Not so fat so my jaw could easily handle it. Pickled carrots, cucumber, pork, pate, butter spread, and hot peppers in toasted French bread. Delicious.
Past several weeks I’ve been slacking on the trying new places/new things. Been going to the old familiar places.
Like Chile. Had the Camaroes de Plancha?
And Catfish Parlour. I like their decor.
