Hennesy Hennesy Hennesy

Have you ever gone to eat questionable Vietnamese food, simply because it seemed quick, convenient, filling, and most of all, cheap? And it's like, you took into account the reason it was so cheap was because there would surely be some compromises made. I know I regrettably made the decision to order the "rice w/ lemongrass chicken" dish. Now, I'm no connoisseur of Vietnamese cuisine, but I do know that, for something to have lemon grass in its name, it should probably taste somewhat like or even RESEMBLE something containing lemon grass.
I mean, what I received was- and I wish I was joking/exaggerating, but I'm actually serious- old (at least one day old), microwaved (I heard the microwave beep), extremely tough "chicken" smothered in caramelized onions. What the fuck? I'm not even going into detail about how I saw Mr. Cockroach scurrying under a table.

The jasmine rice was somewhat enjoyable, though.

I should have just ordered the curry. Or maybe I should have just eaten elsewhere; who knows.

While Shaun and I waited for our food we went into the attached Kim Hung market to buy some Thai tea- very addictive. When we walked out, we noticed that we were incredibly itchy; we looked down to notice what appeared to be flea bites on our arms. I don't even want to question that. I have somewhat regularly shopped at Kim Hung for about four or so years, and yesterday really made me question everything. I don't know if it was the cockroach or the chicken or what.
I should have just ordered the shrimp fried rice again.
