I don’t know if it is the power of suggestion, but those servings do look especially gigantic! I’m going to need some of those rolls for lunch today, no doubt about it…

oldhound - I’m going to have to blame Miss Adventure for this slight diversion. She’s always being SO adventurous.

Anh - Thank you, thank you! Feels pretty good to be back now that we’ve finally got a winner in the White House And you’re totally right with your assessment that CTTK is the Claim Jumper of com tam establishments. I told my mom what you wrote and she more than agrees. Quick bite in Garden Grove? Sure! I’ll shoot you an email.

Welcome back to the states! Seems like you are getting your fill with more Viet food… I agree, CTTK is the Claim Jumper of joints selling com tam. Been following your blog for so long now, and can’t believe you’re actually back stateside.

If you have some time, I would love to meet up for a quick bite in Garden Grove =)

WC - In the words of my favorite fictional Angeleno Cher Horowitz, “oops, my bad.”

Sharon - Woot! Would love to hear what your favorite places in town are. With SO many choices, it’s hard to tell the good from the great.

Miss Adventure – Prop. 8 makes me embarrassed to be a Californian Canadians are so evolved.

NN - A shame to hear that the Vietnamese food in Canada isn’t superb. I’ve heard the poutine is excellent though

Jaden - That sounds like a mighty good plan. DO IT.

Viet food in the US looks so much better than in Canada. And cheaper too ($4.99 for com tam bi suon nuong! Where was I when the Canadian dollar was higher than the US dollar? ) And cha gio in banh trang wrapppers!!! I hate the Chinese springroll wrappers with a passion. They absorb more oil, and taste so much worse. Sadly, I haven’t found a single restaurant here that does cha gio properly.
