Pork Chop on Rice Delights

Vietnamese Pork Chop On Rice – The Regular and The Special

So we’re back to Pho Thai Son again where they have the best Vietnamese Pork Chops on Rice, well alright not exactly “again” – these two plates were ordered and eaten during our pho visit as well! In any case, there are two options displayed here, the Regular and the Special.

I’m not sure what number they are on the menu, but you can’t miss it or you can just ask them directly for it and they’ll know. It’s one of their most popular dishes for a reason – because it’s GOOOOD! I’d describe it to you some more, but then I’d get so homesick I’d have to fly home right away to get me shop chops…RIGHT NOW!
