Exotica

Today, exotica came in the form of lunch - in Chinatown. I meandered down Baxter Street in search of a spot for Vietnamese fare and ended up meandering into a Vietnamese restaurant called, oddly enough, Thai Son.

My order of Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong (pictured above) - Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls with Lettuce on Rice Vermicelli, served with Asian Fish Sauce - was lovely. It was even lovelier with the added jolt of sugary, creamy caffeine from a tall glass of Iced Vietnamese Coffee with Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Tomorrow - even more exotica awaits.

Tomorrow - I will fly to Los Angeles.

Get ready Hollywood. Here comes The Vamp!
