Dining Adventures

On occasion, I go on a dining adventure with my roommate Bryan, or other friends.  I have yet to blog about any of these adventures, so I decided to start documenting these.  This week, Bryan and I visited Pho Yum in Albany.

I passed this place on the way to a catering consultation for my wedding, and was excited.  I'd always wanted to try Pho, and was happy to give it a try sometime.  That time was this week.  Pho is a flavorful rice noodle soup, that can have a variety of meats, or other proteins as well as a variety of condiments to put on top to custom make your soup.

I ordered beef brisket Pho.  This was delicious, the brisket melted in my mouth, and the broth was so satisfying.  The bowl was also the size of my head.

Bryan ordered Beef Tendon.  This actually was pretty good.  As far as taste, it absorbed the flavor of the broth, so there wasn't much flavor to the tendon.  It also had a bizarre texture for the Western palate.  It was chewy, but no worse than slightly overcooked squid.  It was pretty cool

This was a great find.  It's a bit of a trek to get to from where we live in downtown, but the food was quick to come out, and cheap!  I'll be bringing family and friend here in the future.
