After doing errands with the family my dad wanted to eat Vietnamese food in the area of Fremont . My dad brought us to Pho Lan Noodles House for our lunch. We all decided to eat one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. We had ordered some appetizers fried wanton and fried chicken with fish sauce . My dad had ordered Lemongrass chicken include with rice and salad in his meal but was already full when he had eaten his wife's meal. She had ordered the Chicken Banh Mi and chicken clear soup. I wanted to try their Pork Banh Mi sandwich and requested no jalapeno pepper on it. The sandwich is quite big had to slice it in the middle and the remaining was for takeout. The filling of the pork was a lot of serving soft and tender had a lot of flavoring. The bread was also soft even if it was toasted. Family members had ordered the Garlic Chow Mein with Shrimp .

There goes a saying that the Filipino people love giving
pasalubong (gifts) when they are traveling or returning back from their
country. No matter what there is always something people expect from you even
if you have only been away for a short time.
It is a custom where we always
seem to buy something memorable from our trip. I have relatives that come from
the States and they always have a pasalubong to give me no matter if I am also
from there. To us it is way to show is gratitude to each other.
I have a close friend from the
States she always ask me why I always give her a gift even if it is not her
birthday. I just said, just because I want too. It is not like she is obligated
to give me a gift in return.
We have different means to
express ourselves not by words but to give them something we feel they would
like coming from our home town.
Just like when I travel to
another country I always have something for my employees it just shows
something to them they took care of my family while I was away. They always
seem to look forward in something that you give them. It doesn't necessary have
to be something you need to buy even those freebies you get from the hotel they
are even happy to use the shampoo, soap and etc.
Sometimes the employee teases
me when they know I will be out of town to get a pasalubong. Or I would tease
them back when they go off to a vacation to bring back a pasalubong. Sometimes
they do bring something from their hometown usually if it is provience they
come back with lots of native banana.
Or they bring dried fish or
some sort just to show and share what they have brought from their homeland.
