Valentine’s Day

A the Nanny bunked again. 

We decided to head out for lunch. Picked a place called Hanoi in Phoenix Market City, Whitefield. The mall had a lot of couples walking around starry eyed with the lady holding flowers J (Isn’t every day a Valentine’s Day?) While we waited for the food, the boy wanted to be out so I walked with him. We started off with the Nem Cuon – Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls. I felt they were dry. The boy loved the Vietnamese Jasmine Rice with Thit hoac rau xao trong nuoc me chua – Vietnamese Tamarind Gravy (how does one spell it?) and we were not done until he finished the elaborate ritual of spilling rice all over him and on the seat. The dessert was a bit of a letdown - Che Thai – Vietnamese tropical fruit sweet – I could taste coconut and jack fruit. The boy did not like the taste. Reminded me of a Falooda when I saw it in the menu and ordered. The wife refused to taste it.

So we headed to KrispyCreme for dessert. I was surprised to find Filter Coffee on their menu. Once that we went to Hamleys and the boy wanted to lay his hands on all the toys at the ground level. We managed to save the staff the trouble of cleaning up and exited.
