We went Vietnamese on Monday night! I've always loved asian food and vietnamese cuisine is no exception. The vietnamese pho is my absolute favourite and when coupled with fresh spring rolls they make a revitalising meal that feels light on the palate and yet sufficient to last you at least till the next meal. And also vietnamese cuisine are known to be "healthier", making it suitable for weight-conscious individuals who are looking for bulky meals that aren't laden with empty calories.
^ Dish of beansprouts, lime and mint leaves served before my grilled chicken pho was served. They were visibly fresh, brightening up the table with vibrant colours and pleasing our eyes even before dinner started!
^ Here's my chicken pho BEFORE I emptied the little dish of spices into it. Looks a little boring doesn't it?
^ Here's my chicken AFTER! It looks so much better! It tasted just average though :( I would've preferred if the soup had a little more "oomph" to it. It was too bland for my liking. And also it'd have scored much better if the chicken they used weren't injected with fat - I felt like i was eating chicken fat instead of chicken meat! But overall, it was edible. Perhaps i'd go for the beef pho the next time round, that might have been better considering the Viets traditionally use beef in pho.
^ The boyfriend ordered himself chicken skewers. When they were served all i could smell was the familiar scent of satay!!!! Ironically it tasted nothing like satay - it was more of barbequed chicken marinated in spices and sprinkled with peanut, accompanied with peanut sauce. This was the star of our dinner, we loved it so much! They are pretty filling too, so it's best to be shared!
^ Fried chicken wings. Just ordinary fried chicken wings.......
^ And from this sign that was pasted even before we left our table, it's likely that Madam Saigon is a popular restaurant for Vietnamese food so you might want to make a reservation if you intend to head over there, especially if it's on a weekend!

Well I hope everyone is having a smooth week! Mine has been a week of yogurt and sandwiches and healthy living, well ALMOST healthy. For breakfast this week I've had aloe vera yogurt, peach-mango yogurt, blueberry yogurt, and mixed berries yogurt! That said, my granola box is depleting insanely quickly which means i'll have to make a more-than-willing trip to the supermarket soon!
Signing off with an unintentional skeleton display of my new kitchen loots!

how much did you spend there? was it expensive?
It's affordable. We had a grand total of about $30 if I remember correctly.
