Dear Ca Phe Viet (that’s clever, btw),
In America, businesses typically have one focus. The Container Store sells containers. Publix sells groceries. Popeye’s sells (fight-inducing) chicken.
Not you.
I visited your Manchester establishment because you had a half-star rating higher than the other Vietnamese restaurant within walking distance.
Little did I know I would get so much bang for my buck.
I had no idea I’d be able to shop for Asian specialties from the comfort of my chair while slurping up savory Phở Gà. How handy!
See, when I walked up, I thought these three awnings represented three distinct shops.
But no. I could eat lunch, do my grocery shopping AND buy a mobile phone/change my service.
You know what I was surprised I couldn’t get? A glass of water. You know, like regular water with ice in it.
When I asked for water, the server blinked a few times like she was trying to process the word. Then she brought me a mug of hot water.
But I guess you’re great at multitasking: selling calling plans, restocking sriracha, putting the kettle on.
So thanks for forcing me to try new things, such as hot water as a beverage with hot soup. Like you, I’ve branched out.
Kính thư,
Beth
