Tay Ho Vietnamese Restaurant



Day 3 - Shrimp Tempura

Lunch before our big shopping adventure was Vietnamese food at Tay Ho. Tay Ho's specialty is this "shrimp tempura" type dish. I'm not even sure exactly what it's called or what it's made of but I think in addition to the shrimp, there is also some fried sweet potato. It's served with lots of bean sprouts, julienned cucumber, egg noodle with ground meat and this pork-loaf. I drown the whole dish with spicy fish sauce...I know, I know, none of this sounds at all appetizing but it really is yummy and I can't get this in Cleveland. Although RocketDog and I agree, the restaurant is getting dirtier and dirtier and seems to be losing hole-in-the-wall cuteness.

In addition to eating at Tay Ho on Sunday, we also had Alberto's Mexican Food. We had our usual there...2 orders of 3 rolled tacos with guacamole and 1 horchata (for RocketDog). Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of the food because we were too hungry to wait. What a perfect ending to an afternoon of shopping. --MM

I think the only things I've ever ordered were the 3 rolled tacos w/guacamole and a chicken burrito. Since I don't get to go often to experiment, I just go with the usual faves. --MM

I've never had in 'n' out animal style fries - just animal style hamburgers or animal style protein burgers.

As for Alerto's/Alberto's, can you believe I didn't have it until towards the end of my senior year?? I totally missed out!! --MM
