Total awe is an understatement. Sounds like she did a year's worth of
kitchenwork in a few weeks. Just reading it cause me to have to lie down
with cold compresses on my forehead.

I'm thinking about taking up drinking, Fleece. I'll consult with
Margaret on the nicest way to do that. '-)
We just returned from lunch at a new Vietnamese place nearer to us than
Cam Ranh Bay is. And, I think, better food. I had pho with rare beef.
Yum.

Pho tai, or pho bo tai. What's the name of the place? Little Saigon?
Vietnam?

Pho Tai. I was considering the Pho Tai Nam or the Pho Duoi Bo, Thit
Nam; the waiter suggested the Pho Tai.

It's a new place, Saigon Palace. They've been open for maybe 2 months
or so (time flies) and are now closed on Tuesdays. Waiter said they are
going to add Hot & Spicy Chicken (once that happens, HWSRN will consider
it "authentic." ) and some other requested dishes.

I daresay that Saigon Palace is 'more authentic' than Cam Ranh Bay at
this point -- they have some very interesting dishes on the menu:
Grilled Shrimp on Sugarcane, grilled pork meat balls, a few variations
of the protein on sugarcane; quail egg, steamed egg, ten rice noodle
soups, 11 variations of Mi. Nice people, too.

I'm thinking that we need to get Junie Bug and Matt up here, Steve
Dropkin, too. Yeah, that's the ticket. Oh, Bubba, they also have
banh mi. What's most peculiar about the whole thing is that their
lunch specials are Chinese dishes -- and I don't remember the reason
given when we asked the first time we were there.

Oxtail. Do they serve a version with luoi bò (beef tongue), too?

Hot & Spicy Chicken as in gà xào ót? Farangs tend to order it, so it is
not necessarily a proof of authenticity. Do they serve éch xào s ót
(spicy frog legs with lemon grass), or cháo lòng (a kind of congee/jook
with various pig's innards), for example?

What the hell does it mean? You provided two answers to four questions,
those effectively being:

1. Do they serve phò with luoi bò (beef tongue)?

2. Are Hot & Spicy Chicken the same as gà xào ót?

3. Do they serve éch xào s ót (spicy frog legs with lemon grass)?

4. Do they serve cháo lòng (a kind of congee/jook with various pig's
innards).
