A recent and rare Friday off from work meant an opportunity for a weekday breakfast at HA&VL

Today’s special was: Hu Tieu Nam Vang - Phnom Penh noodle soup with shrimp & fishballs, charsiu pork, squid, pork liver, slices of roasted pork with noodle in pork broth, mixed with ground pork & Chinese celery and onion on top.

Certainly a fine soup. My favorite @HA&VL remains the crab soup.

The family at HA&VL are a special group. If I lived closer to here I would eat breakfast there at least every week.

UPDATE

I had breakfast here today (Sunday), and the bun thang was as good as it has ever been. So I can’t say the crab soup is my favorite. I’m torn.

They even hooked my daughter up with a bowl of her own. I asked for a small bowl to share, and a dimunitive, milder version (served in a what my daughter excitedly proclaimed was a “big mug!”) was whisked in front of my daughter. I love these people.
