BBQ Pork & Rice Noodles
Saturday, 30 Jul 2005 | Food
BBQ Pork with Rice Noodles from Saigon Noodle House in Temecula, California.
Toni had this. It was excellent. It came with spring rolls that were so good and was topped with finely chopped basil, green onions and chopped peanuts. The BBQ Pork was similar to the Chinese variety but more subdued in flavor and with more of a grilled taste.
