Wanderlust-ing

Said I'd like to have American food, so Mike took me to Burgoo's at Power Plant in Makati Huge portions, the American way!

Onion rings, soup, mudpie plus a marshmallow drink

Burgoo
Didja know Burgoo is a term used for many types of stew made from a mixture of ingredients?

In particular, burgoo is a traditional Kentuckian stew, served commonly at the Kentucky Derby. It is a hodge podge of ingredients and most recipes call for a minimum 24-hour cook time. At the Derby it is served from massive iron pots into paper cups with crackers. Some people use the saltine crackers to eat the whole cup of burgoo like a dip. Churches in parts of Kentucky use burgoo much like other churches across the nation use chili for fundraising. -- info thanks to Wikipedia

Was at The Curve, freezing from the aircon so a hot bowl of noodles was really appealing. Figured Vietnamese beef noodles would be fun at Pho Hoa.

Pho Hoa restaurants feature naturally flavored, low-calorie, delicious soups with the choicest slices of brisket, flank, eye round steak,... Each bowl of soup is accompanied with fresh coriander leaves, bean sprouts, hot peppers, lemon wedges... to give the customers a complete, nutritious and well-balanced meal.

Choose this from the menu (copy taken from their website) :

Chả Giò is a fried imperial roll, with minced chicken and vegetables. These are all rolled up with rice paper and deep fried and served with (nuoc mam) a mixture of sugar, nuoc mam, vinegar, chili paste, and some strands of sliced carrots.
