After the Twinkle by Wenlan show (and before Joonbug’s Fashionable Farewell to Ugly Betty), Kendrick and I had dinner at Pho Grand. The grilled pork with fish sauce was pretty good, the lemongrass chicken was totally run-of-the-mill, and the “caramel fish” (salmon in a sweet sauce) was way too fishy (these, by the way, were the dishes that the server recommended to me as the “best”). I’m definitely not one to complain about my food or send it back (I figure if I don’t like it it’s my fault for having ordered it), but this fish was so inedible that I had to tell our server. He didn’t offer a replacement or take it off of our bill…which kinda seems like poor customer service. But the beer was good, so that’s something!
