After the skate park and Reading Terminal Market to pick up some groceries, I decided to go to China Town. I love Pho Cali; I find Vietnamese food is easier for Celiacs than Chinese food. However, newer Chinese and Japanese restaurants are getting better about gluten-free options.
Pho Cali knows me well, they knew what I wanted – shrimp summer roll with the gluten-free pink fish sauce, and pho ga (chicken pho).


It was a delicious meal for a chilly March day, after a snowy Saturday. I can’t wait to go back!
Hi, Jessica Marie!
I am very happy to see that you aren’t just sitting by the phone, dear friend. Instead you are getting out there and living life to the fullest. As the boomer era hit song by Spanky And Our Gang goes, you are “Making Every Minute Count.” It’s good to know that you headed over to China Town and dined at one of your favorite eateries, Pho Cali. Seems they know you well and always treat you right, cheerfully accommodating your gastronomical requirements. The food does indeed look delicious. I’m glad more Chinese and Japanese restaurants are making adjustments and offering more G-F options than they did in the past.
I greatly appreciate the comment you left at Shady’s Place this evening, Jessica. Together we stand in the neverending fight against tyranny.
