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 .

Living with your parents
as they start to aged you will begin to notice the way they become weak the
movement you see them start to walk and how they are not are aware when you
talk to them your voices has to be louder for them to hear you talk to them.
Your parents don't want
to admit they have a problem hearing and they won't allow to wear a hearing aid
to them there is nothing wrong with them. They tend to tell you it is better
this way because so often if they have a spouse who loves to nag they won't hear
everything they tell them.
As you see your parents
act this way you begin to worry for them but to them it is not a big deal
because when you also reach their age you will also know the situation when you
too reach that aged.
When it is time to eat
this is something I have noticed the food has to be prepared this way they can
no longer swallow their food how they use too and they tend to eat too fast not
realizing they can choke on their food. The only way to prevent it to happen
their food needs to be prepared ahead of time and it will be cut up for bite
size pieces this way it prevents them to choke with their food.
Each meal is separate in
each individual serving saucer or bowls enough portions for them to consume
depending if they have a history of a medical illness. Their meal will be
balance from rice, vegetables, any meat or seafood, soup and dessert or fruit
this way your parents will feel like they are eating a complete meal.
Here is a sample of how our food is being prepare for the elderly:
Rice -
In each meal their rice is measure by half cup for brown rice and one cup of white rice each parent have different portion.
Vegetable-
Fish or Meat
Fruit - Fried Saba
The advantages living in the Philippines you can hire extra help to accompany your parents as they begin to aged and to them it is an advantage as they reach a certain age in their life where they will always need an extra hand in their everyday life.
