At first, The Cat wanted to visit a bakery in town, and look for good ma-po tofu. But yesterday being Mother’s Day, there may be crowd issues. In the end, The Cat and The Mouse stayed in the neighborhood and ate comfort food.
Oxtail Soup
Instead of noodles, The Cat requested rice, more traditional. A better choice.
Oxtail soup to start The Cat’s week. Go-to Japanese/Pho Restaurant in the neighborhood.

The Mouse was going to order a steamed fish filet with ginger, kitchen was out. Sigh. Alternative was chicken katsu.
Chicken Katsu
There are now two places in the neighborhood that The Mouse can go for chicken katsu, which could be both good and bad. Good is that food is good, bad because The Mouse should be eating healthier. Moderation.
The Mouse also ordered a plate of spring rolls.

The vegetables and noodles give the impression of being “healthier”. Hee hee.
The Mouse been wanting a bahn mi sandwich for awhile, but with steamed pork and pate. There are several places nearby but only one, maybe two, with that specific filling. The Mouse went to one of the original sites, kind of a hole in the wall (in a good way).

Mmm, yummy. The steamed pork is kinda like very mild SPAM, a good thing. The Mouse always likes liver spread.
