Bambu


I've known a few friends who went to Bambu before, so I wanted to try it out. It's right across from Lollicup. Bambu is a snack and drink place, but I think it's mostly a drink place. It serves boba drinks, coffee, smoothies, etc. It looks really nice inside. The people who work there are Vietnamese. They had Vietnamese television channel or show on while I was there.

The drinks here are more expensive than Lollicup. I ordered the honeydew milk tea with boba. It does taste like honeydew and milk tea, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I didn't finish my drink. I accidentally left it in Sacramento. My sister ordered some coffee drink and she think that it wasn't sweet enough, so she added more sweetener and sugar.

Pho Anh Duc East West Cafe

My sisters wanted to eat pho, so I was okay with it and off we went to get pho. We wanted to try a new place, so we went to Pho Anh Duc East West Cafe restaurant on Stockton boulevard. I think it used to be Pho Trinh. That place is a family business. There were a few young ones on a laptop and older ones watching the football game. I noticed that one of our waitress there was someone I could have possibly known in high school, but didn't really talk to. At first, I didn't notice her until I looked her in the eye. 
You notice that extra small bowl there next to my baby sister? Well, she has a small extra bowl because we are sharing with her. We ordered extra noodles for her because I always think that there's not enough noodles in our bowls.

Pho Ga (chicken)
I always order the Pho Ga although I also like steak tenderloins and other meats. When I ordered here they gave me the choice of white or dark meat. I choose white meat because it's the better meat, especially with soup. The meat they give me here is different and it seemed old. Other places would give me chicken meat that might include the skin that is cut off a whole piece of chicken, so you know that chicken is fresh or not that old.
Seafood Soup
As you can notice the noodle is all stuck together or in one place in that bowl of soup. I guess they didn't want to spread out the noodles. Their noodles weren't the best, but it's pho.

Week in Review

Monday was Martin Luther King's Jr Day. There was no class, so two classes were not held. I did not do much that day except come back to Davis since I was in Sacramento for the weekend.

On Tuesday, I had my one class and a internship meeting. I helped entered more films into the database and entered all of the ones available. Did not do much this day, except tried to do most of my reading of the other day.

On Wednesday, I had a seminar at 9am and I set my alarm for it. But, my alarm did  not go off. Luckily, I heard one of my housemates getting ready to leave or such. I  a intern meeting for APIA. The day actually went by pretty quickly actually.

On Thursday, I was going to go to one of the meetings. But, it was raining, so I did not want to leave my apartment. I also think that I enjoy my religion class. At first I didn't think it would be interesting, but I really like the readings and discussions.

On Friday, I really didn't do much except went to class and tried to get all my books that I need this quarter.

On Saturday, I went to Redrum Burger. Then, I got ready to go back to Sacramento.
