Another thing I really miss about Seattle is Vietnamese food. It seems that there just isn't as much to go around in Atlanta. That's why I got really excited when Corey and I decided to try out Saigon Cafe on North Decatur Rd and Clairmont. The place was busy on a Wednesday night which we both took as a very good sign. I saw some of my favorites on the menu and promptly ordered salad rolls for the table. They were a disappointment. All I could taste was bean sprouts and the rolls were not served with peanut sauce as I prefer but with plum sauce straight out of a bottle. On to the the main course. I was ready to really enjoy something delicious after two days of saltines and ginger ale. Corey and I both ordered bun - a big bowl full of vermicelli noodles, grilled meat (usually pork), salad fixings and if you're lucky, an egg roll. Saigon Cafe's bun came with all of the trimmings and looked awesome (as you can see) but lacked flavor once again. The meat was also quite fatty and made my stomach ache a little. Corey and I left feeling defeated, with our sights set on Buford Highway, Atlanta's Asian cuisine mecca. We won't take the easy way out; we learned our lesson.
