After a long day of errands in Fremont, Carmina's dad found himself yearning for the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, igniting a culinary adventure that would tantalize his taste buds.

  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 .

Carmina's Trying Out the Vegetable Broth in Her Cooking

Over the weekend I have been venturing trying different vegetarian meals outside and somehow, I will need to make my meals at home. If you're not able to eat any meat and seafood only solution is to add vegetable broth in your home cooked meals. I asked one of my friends who eats healthy meals at her home cooked what kind of broth does she cook in her vegetable soup. My friend informed me she uses vegetable broth that is premade purchased in the grocery store. I live in the Philippines based in the United States. I will need to purchase mine online not at the grocery store. Nature's Harvest  Online Shopee Philippines sell Massel Vegetable Stock Cubes made from Australia for 119.00 pesos ($2.16) for ten pieces. Carmina was able to expand by making a new dish with the vegetable broth.  It was a success with the ingredients added to my tomato cheddar cheese potato noodle soup.
