Weekend Adventure to Little Saigon

6/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Last Saturday, we decided to take a little adventure. My friend Kevin is a huge foodie. He can find the best sushi, dives, dim sum, bbq, practically everything. He was telling us about going to Little Saigon. So my son Trent, his sister Julie, and I ventured out to Westminster for a day of exploring and culture.

We started out at a really tasty spot called Le Croissant Doré. It is a bakery known for it's fruit tarts. But it has the best beef stew with the most amazing sauce that actually tastes somewhat healthy! They serve it along with their own french bread. It's called Bo Kho. It is made with pieces of meat, tendon, and tripe. Sounds truly disgusting, but it was one of the best stews I have ever put in my mouth!

Since it is a bakery, they are known for their fruit tart cake, but my favorite were the little round creme puffs! We all enjoyed thai iced tea with boba, which pumped us up to continue our adventure.

We decided to walk because it is the best way to get the feel of the culture and be able to see all the funky things when you are in a new location. Somehow we ended up in this fun Asian mall because Trent was looking for a phone case. I swear to god, this mall had everything from Hello Kitty to phone cases to jewelry to buddhas to authentic food stands.

This is when I spotted the eggs. I've had Korean roasted eggs before from the I-Spa and I thought this is what I was buying. I wanted to treat everyone to the awesome delicacy. However I had no clue what I was getting into. 
The egg dish is actually called Balut. You are supposed to drink the juice out of the egg and eat what is inside. We did not know this and just peeled the egg and dove in. The rest is history.

After challenging our bellies, we decided to end the day with the most amazing, relaxing, full body massage at the Bali Foot Spa. For only $20/hr, we all literally went into a trance and the memories of the baby duck egg vanished from our minds.

It was a great day filled with adventure, culture, and culinary experiences. This trip only cost us $45 a piece for all our food, spa services, trinkets, and a hell of a lot of belly laughs.
