Tudo’s in Pensacola Revisit

00tudoslunchspecial.jpg

I discovered the Tudo’s (Tudo means “freedom” in Vietnamese, I learned by accident in Wikipedia) in Pensacola has a lunch special. What you see above is just the appetizer, then you have your choice of four entrees to go with it.

Actually, the soup and spring roll is fine for me, an entire lunch. They happily give me a box to take-away the main course which I can warm up on days I have builders in the house and can’t get away. Yummmmmm. And what a great deal. The lunch special is either $5.50 or $4.99, either way, you are getting two meals for that low price – less than 2KD! And so so so delicious. I dream of these salad rolls when I am in Kuwait, far away from any Vietnamese restaurants.

  1. Vietnamese food is some my favorite asian creole cuisines.

    The imprint of French colonization has left us the wondrous Bánh Mì: a baguette stuffed with cilantro and carrots and cucumbers and pork or chicken or tofu or even scrambled eggs.

    I know a chick in Pensacola, so she might be getting a visit. . .

    There was this place called Hue Thai (still don’t get the name) in Vegas Chinatown (yes, Vegas has a chinatown) that baked their bread in house adn had the best Phở this side of Ho Chi Minh.

    Oh, and for the record: my brain is all good after Dubai. I’m lucid, perspicuous and. . .

    and. . .

    Mmmm.

    Sandwiches.

  2. *dying laughing* you may be missing a brain cell or two and not even realize it!

    I love the freshness of Vietnamese food, and the lightness, and at the same time, richness of flavor. And it hadn’t occurred to me that of course, it is also VERY French!

    I have had those sandwiches! We have a lot of Vietnamese in Seattle.
