Thai Boat Noodle

While most of the other first year students are taking off spring break to go gallivanting around the world (and rightly so, because it seems like “spring break” becomes a thing of the past as soon as we join our permanent labs), I am in lab this week. Because I am a dork. But this post isn’t about being in lab, it’s about Thai boat noodles. I was craving sustenance during a late night at lab so I went out in search of food. As far as noodles go, I really enjoy eat Thai boat noodle at the appropriately named “Boat Noodle House” in berkeley. So what makes it special? It’s basically a bowl of various beef entities- braised chunks, slices, balls, maybe tripe, some veggies- sprouts, greens, and noodle of choice. What makes it special is the soup, thickened with beef blood to give it a characteristic body and taste. The soup is a dark brown/red color due to the beef blood. Perfect for warming an empty belly on a windy night. Nom nom nom.
