My Grandmother’s Pho

My grandma’s pho is the best because it is hot and homemade. So the noodles are perfect because my grandma goes to the market right away and at the market she gets fresh noodles and she cooks them al dente. Then the meat is good because it is very juicy cause it is soaked in the broth. Then the broth is good because it is sweet and a little bit sour which is good and it you add a little bit of lime it gives it  little bit of a kick you know and my mom says  when you add a little bit of onion and cilantro it gives it a little freshness and a little bit of crunch which is good because everything is soft because everything is soaked.

(Grandma’s secret recipe is...a secret!)

Did you know that my Grandma is super awesome and my Grandpa because they wake up at 6:00 am to make 24 bowls of pho for the whole family!

The Dabney (I went there for my brother’s birthday)

So in January for my brothers birthday dinner we went to a Michelin star restaurant and it was called the Dabney. It was fabulous because…

One reason why it is very good is that... 

Well, do you like vegan stuff? I don’t as a kid...usually. But guess what? I could eat these yummy carrots all day! 

It was kind of like a snack which was very cool. So what the carrots had was very well done was whipped ricotta but to be honest I think that they should add more ricotta. There was only two little scoops. They also added crunchy chiles which gave it a little kick. And my favorite thing about is was the glazed honey. It was absolutely perfect so that is maybe why they got a Michelin star.

Then the next thing which inspired me so much was the sugar toad and I am pretty sure that is what they are known for. What I liked about it, was that it was crispy, delicate and the flavor was perfect in every single way. Plus it came with a very pretty plate of delicate vegan stuff. If you take a peek at our (Washington D.C.) very best restaurant list in 2019 you will find the Dabny is in second place and all the pictures are about the sugar toads.

And lastly, the best course was huge with meat, mash potato and winter greens with grilled onions and horseradish sauce so we will start with the mash potato. I normally hate mashed potatoes but this one was so creamy and the flavor was good plus it was kind of like wood cream cause they whipped it so much now the winter greens were juicy and it had this very fresh flavor now the sauce was on the meat and it was very tender and juicy because the sauce soaked into the the meat and it gave it a soft chewy tasty and that is for family size  and it might not be there all the time because they switch up the menu all the time .

Joe and the Juice a very good cafe.

Well I think that Joe and the Juice is a very relaxing place because it is quit and there is music.

So what I like about Joe and the Juice is that …

The smoothies are light fresh and other things but I know it is fresh because they make it while you are sitting and it only takes like two or three minutes then you will relax with it on the side with a …..

So what I also like about Joe and the Juice the bread was my favorite so hot and chewy from the toaster. have you ever heard of a sandwich  place that was so good? Well I give this a 4 .5 star rating. So let’s get down to business.  So the texture was good and the filling was perfect too so that was a wonderful cafe.

Bresca

So where I went for Christmas I went to this awesome food place called Bresca it was awesome and great and I do highly recommend and this is why. By the way it was in Washington DC.

So one of the foods I got was mackerel (it is a fish) so what I thought about the mackerel is that is was so sour and juicy cause the sauce was sour and then the fish absorb the sourness then it was so juicy and tasty and that is one i recommend .

Another one I thought was good was the swordfish was fresh juicy and seafoody and I could tell they added a pinch of salt and that made it shine out to me so well.

Now I am going to say about my favorite one it was a duck it was so crispy because they dried it for twenty one days and it was so tender too and the fattiness also was great cause it made it even extra juicy and they put a super fancy sauce and how they did it was they had a french machine that pressed out the duck juices and the sauce was called duck jus.
