Also yesterday was another LA experience, what we in the apartment like to call "Everything's Pho-K," the philosophy that all Vietnamese restaurants with "Pho" in the title are delicious. Ok, so maybe it's just Callie's philosophy. None the less, the four of us packed up and headed to downtown Burbank to get ourselves a little taste of Pho City. $7 gets you the "Noodle Soup Bowl" which is a bowl of broth and rice noodles bigger than your head (no exaggeration) which comes with your choice of meat, meat by-product or vegetarian meat subsitute. Callie got the chicken, and I went for meatball. It was good, the broth was flavor ful and the noddles were good too. The meatballs were pretty gristly (don't know what I was expecting with a Vietnamese place, but there you go) but I tried Callie's chicken as well and that was really good. The other roomies got more standard dishes: Shrimp with Broccoli and Lemongrass Chicken and they were both reported to be good, albeit a little spicy.
After dinner, we walked up to Yogurtiers, one in (literally) a million frozen yogurt places here in LA. This one is proclaimed to be the best (again, by Callie) because it has many different flavors at once, is all fat-free (well, the yogurt anyway), and is self-serve. I got peach and strawberry yogurt with Fruity Pebbles, white chocolate, and fresh strawberries and blueberries and it was DELICIOUS. Way to go California, you came up with a desert fad that is both healthy and creative. And also profitable, because they charge by weight and you can't tell how much you have until it's payin' time.
First Vietnamese food, check. First "noodle bowl", check. First LA fro-yo, check.
