		<description><![CDATA[My Thai food cravings can swing one of two ways: familiar or foreign. Sometimes I want to cozy up to my standbys, while other times I desire something sassier and spicier than just pad Thai. When the latter feeling hits, I find my way to Pa-Ord for crispy pork and boat noodles, Jitlada for green [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I cannot stand to throw away food. Whether it&#8217;s a half bunch of parsley or or a half-eaten slice of pizza, having perfectly good food tossed in the trash pains me in a very real way. I attribute this compulsion to my mother and grandmother, who forced me to eat every last grain of rice [...]]]></description>

No matter that the drugstore batch tasted like Halloween leftovers or that the &#8220;relationship&#8221; lasted barely a week&#8212;I was totally smitten and as far as I was concerned, Valentine&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Compared to my competitor&#8217;s lemon, honey, and thyme dressed specimens, these were bolder and brighter&#8212;an all around more daring addition to the dinner [...]]]></description>

My friend Melina introduced me to this monstrosity a few weeks ago, and it&#8217;s been making regular appearances in my doughnut-flavored daydreams. Each Frisbee-sized fritter is coated from top to bottom in a classic sugary glaze. The innards are [...]]]></description>

Nestled in the mountains of the Central Highlands, Dalat offered a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively, from Saigon’s frenetic pace. Here, temperatures were markedly cooler, roads were [...]]]></description>

I came to the restaurant with high expectations and left feeling mostly underwhelmed after a lunch of wings, coleslaw, and Vietnamese sandwiches.
