Off Topic Sunday again. I went to Anaheim Street in Long Beach, just 3 blocks down from my pad. Long Beach claims to have the 2nd largest population of Cambodians outside of Southeast Asia. This also means that there's killer Vietnamese and Thai places lurking about too.



I like getting these French-Vietnamese sandwiches on baguettes over on Anaheim. I go crazy when I go to those places. I can never decide, so I always end up buying a variety. This time I tried "My Le - French Sandwiches."




French-Vietnamese, what? The French went and caused a ruckus over in Vietnam some time ago and the next thing you know, these killer sandwiches came about. This one is grilled pork. I got that crazy sausage this time which was described to me as "a deep fried meat loaf." It's kinda like Japanese fish cake, but, uh, meat. What kinda meat? Probably pork. Who knows, I'll try anything. Those fried noodles are killer too. They're definitely different and better than the generic Americanized chow mein a lotta places serve.




Several of my friends don't ever try to venture about Anaheim, I don't know why. Life's too short for just burgers and fries. I've noticed that many Long Beach residents don't even have a clue that the whole "asian area" of Anaheim are mostly Cambodians. Ah, fuck it. More baguette sandwiches for me.
