No I didn't get the lobster pho at District 1 because I've already tried it

Waiting area after we checked in:

I like this kind of napkin when eating pho:

Plain beef meatball version is what the kid likes:

Looks good but to some people, that's overpriced.

What they don't know is the high cost of rent plus they gotta pay their employees a livable wages.

Rice plate loaded, $20 is what I'm having for lunch tomorrow.

Had one of the worst pho recently and no worries, the majority of ph might never step foot in this place anyway. Said authentic Vietnamese pho but they don’t have that Vietnamese accent or touch. It’s not like their service was good but marked a 18% service charge.

Sorry to hear. Looks like a place run by Cambodians?

Next time, I'll try their bone marrow pho:

No thanks to that lobster pho but the bone marrow looks good!

When my family cooks pho, they added lot of bone particles into the big pot.  My dad is the clean up guy.  After everyone eats their pho, he would go in and eat just the bones and whatever meat there is on them bones.  To him, pho is second class to these bones.  I was a tad young at the time to understand.  Now that I'm becoming my dad's age, I really see it.  I still love my pho but I gotta have a piece of them bones too.  Usually people would eat the pho and them bones would go to waste.  Glad we have a clean up crew in the family.  It used to be my pet dog that is the clean up guy.

Your father is a smart man. I like to do the same.

It just means you old.   

You will not catch me walking the candy aisle and picking out a candy snack.  It as been so long that I don't even remember the last time I ever bought a bag of candy at the gas station.  Getting older, you kind of lose out your childhood instinct.  I still eat candy but only if someone offers me some.  A piece here and there doesn't hurt but a whole bag of gummy?  Who eats the whole bag themselves?  Getting older, I tend to lust for bait that goes good with beer.

It’s okay brother, enjoy life as we age like fine wine 

Yeah, our taste buds and desire for certain candies/foods has changed.

I enjoy lobster but jut not in this form after trying it  :

Fusion is what they are calling it.  Traditionalist will shame you for butchering their national dish. 

Like put pho or sushi in a burrito? 

Add mussels n shrimps to pho bowl?  Hell no I'm not eating it.
