Phở Hùng - On SE Powell Blvd in Portland, OR

A lot of Vietnamese places do either Phở good and Bún not so great or vice versa. This place does everything fantastic. Phở Hùng is one of my two favorite Phở places in Portland. The food is authentic and fresh, has lots of flavor, and the portions are just right. The service here is good, and the prices are very reasonable. Another bonus is that they have their own parking lot, which is a major bonus in a big city like Portland.

Nuvrei Patisserie & Café - Near the corner of NW 10th and Flanders in Portland, OR

Everything I have had here is super delicious. This is one of my very favorite sandwich places in Portland. I highly recommend the Roasted Turkey Breast. The mauricette bread it comes on is like the most amazing warm, fresh pretzel you have ever had, in a sandwich roll form. The meat and other ingredients are equally as fresh and tasty. The cookies and pastries are also fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant and Grill - Downtown, near the corner of Court St and High St in Salem, OR

I heard that they have a really good Binh Minh sandwich here so I decided to try it out. It was only $4.50 and it was delicious. The size was perfect too - enough to satisfy my appetite but not so much that it made me full to the point of being sick. The Vietnamese couple that runs this place are very nice, but they are even more quiet. They have a small buffet that I will go back and try someday soon.

Momiji - On Commercial (across from Fred Meyer) in Salem, OR

The only thing I've had here is lunch-special bento boxes. They are very reasonably priced and the great thing about bento boxes is the variety - you get a little of a few things instead of a lot of one thing. The food is pretty good and the service is great. The last time we went, the server came within a minute or two, brought us our drinks and soup a few minutes later, and by the time we finished our soup, we had our food. Granted, the place wasn't very busy, so if you go when they are busy, you may or may not get your food as quickly.

Movie - Cria Cuervos (1976)

This is a fantastic and strange movie of a child whose perspective of life has been twisted by the death of her mother, which she blames on her womanizing father. Ana Torrent, as in The Spirit of the Beehive, plays the role of the main character like no one else could. Her eyes and her silence are fantastically unique and necessary to the role and the story.

Summary from IMDb, written by Claudio Carvalho:
In Madrid, the orphan sisters Irene, Ana and Maite are raised by their austere aunt Paulina together with their mute and crippled grandmother after the death of their mother and their military father Anselmo. Ana is a melancholic girl, fascinated by death, after seeing her mother having a painful death and her father dead in bed.

From Wikipedia:

The title Cria cuervos comes from the Spanish proverb, "Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos". This translates as, "Raise ravens, and they'll take out your eyes" and is generally used for someone who has bad luck in raising children, or raised them badly. It may also imply rebellious behavior or that every bad act will return to haunt you.

The phrase "Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos" is said to originate with Don Álvaro de Luna of Castile during a hunting expedition. In the course of the hunt his party came across a beggar with terrible scarring in the place of eyes. The beggar explained that he had raised a raven for three years with affection and great care, but it attacked him one day, leaving him blind. The bon mot was Don Álvaro's reply.

India Palace - Downtown, near the corner of Court and Liberty in Salem, OR

The buffet food was mediocre and there wasn't much selection. The Palak Paneer, Chicken Tandoori, Gajar Halwa, and the eggs were the best of what the buffet here had to offer. Everything was lacking in flavor though, including the fruit. I was most disappointed in the Pakora. It's one of my favorites of Indian cuisine and it was a let down here. Despite all of that criticism, I "liked" the place on Urbanspoon for two reasons: 1. Because it is very inexpensive, and for what you pay, it's pretty good food, 2. It's in Salem, OR and I'm grateful to get what they are offering when I don't want to drive hours to get something better.
