Duck Noodle Soup -- or maybe just duck noodles?



Because you're dying to know what I ate today, I'll give in and post a quick and durty review. I got takeout from Pho N Rice in Somerville -- a simple Thai and Vietnamese fusion spot not far from home. Fusion spots rarely do it for me -- the Thai tastes Vietnamese, the Vietnamese is faintly Thai -- but Pho N Rice manages to get both elements pretty much right.

The Duck Noodle Soup comes nicely packaged up with the noodles in one container, the duck and soup in another, and a bag of mixins to add to the top (bean sprouts, basil leaves, lime wedges.) I put it all together into one steaming bowl, with a raft of noodles and a drowning man of duck bits on top. I poured the broth over and it disappeared into the noodles as you'll note from the picture. Garnished with the fixins and mixins and it was a hearty bowl of ducky noodles with a slurp of soup.

It could have been soupier and slurpier but it was a mighty fine bowl of whatever you want to call it. I called it lunch.
