Pho Xingh (Vietnamese)

Jay stopped by Pho Xingh yesterday after shopping at Wegmans. Takeout order included 3 orders of spring rolls (A1), an order of grape leaves, the seafood lemongrass vermicelli (M20) and charbroiled pork over rice (C4).

While waiting, she ordered a honeydew shake. So refreshing.

She asked why they no longer served broken rice and it was explained that people didn't like the description. Are they stupid? What's the point of eating Vietnamese if it's not authentic? I can get regular rice anywhere. Oh well.

As we were leaving, we ran into a couple we had met at Word of Mouth a few years ago. We were really excited, since Jay had lost their contact information, immediately after leaving the restaurant and had always wondered how they were doing.
