T Stands For bEARTHday With Scott

 

Today I am sharing a post from a place Scott and I went to two weeks ago.

I'm taking you to Pho Cao.  I suggested this place when Scott asked where I wanted to go for my bEARTHday lunch.  I was here once before with Scott and this will be my second time.

I was able to get photos without anyone in the photo.  The area behind the grey screen is where you pay your bill.  Needless to say, I didn't have to pay.

Directly behind my chair was this Wichita, KS flag.  Those of you who drop by for Monday Murals are well aware of the Wichita flag, which I seek out in many murals in my city.  The blue and white center is known as a hogan, which is an American Indian symbol that represents a permanent home, or in this case, Wichita.  This flag was painted on wood planks.  Our skyline is below the flag.  The sign below reads "Help yourself," and refers to the sauces that will add to the flavor of the meal.  You can see them in the previous photo.

Here is the menu.  Scott ordered spring rolls for appetizers.  He chose Pho with steak for his meal and I ordered Chicken pho.  We both got the large bowls.

This is my photo of the other side, but I didn't get the beverages.

Luckily I found this on the internet which shows the Vietnamese coffee I ordered.

The spring rolls arrived, as did my coffee, which was made at the table.  These were the prettiest spring rolls I have ever seen.

It was fascinating watching the coffee being created from the pot that sat at the top of the glass.

Scott finished his spring rolls and I made a mess

inserting mine in the peanut sauce.

Next came the wonderful Pho.

It was then time to add the bean sprouts and fresh basil, seen on the plate behind my coffee, which was still "brewing."

Scott was enjoying his thin pieces of steak.  We both got extra bean sprouts since we like them so much. If I was asked to write a review, I would give it excellent marks for the incredible service and the fabulous food.  My only negative mark would be there wasn't a vegetarian Pho.

Now it's time to share your own drink inspired post this week.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, a favorite mug, cup and saucer, teapot, coffee pot, or even a wine glass. Regardless, please join us by linking below.  Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.

Don't forget to dig up a post for your Second look on the 2nd.  It's any post you have shared in the past. I didn't want to wait till next week to remind you.  Now you have ample time to look for an old post.

Next week we will talk napkins/ATC swap for our ninth anniversary in July.  

 

UPDATE: The creamy mix that comes out and settles into the bottom of the coffee is very sweet and has cinnamon in it.
