Little Saigon

I spent the end of last week and part of the weekend in Lake Tahoe. A couple friends, Sophia, and I rented out a house for June and July as a place to escape the city. We were very fortunate for the opportunity and I loved my time up there. In a sense, it was an escape from the realities of today’s world and issues.

On the way back to San Francisco, we decided to stop in Little Saigon in Sacramento for an outdoor dinner. Little Saigon is a recent discovery that I’ve made a point of visiting nearly every time I drive back from Lake Tahoe. It’s a long road of strip malls with amazing restaurants and stores. The best way I can describe the place is that it feels like you’re in Asia. I love everything about the place.

Last night we ate at Seafood House Quan Oc and it was one of my favorite meals in recent memory.

Viet-cajun style crab and crawfish. Vietnamese style clams and oysters. I sat in nearly 100 degree heat eating amazing seafood and I couldn’t help but feel like I was back in Vietnam traveling. I had a lot of thoughts, but I couldn’t help but remember my last trip to Vietnam in 2016. It was an eventful one to say the least so I plan on writing a longer post about that trip and our friend Flower later this week.
