It was another busy Saturday. Papa invited us to join one of his important business meetings, then we picked up my youngest sister from her work, and finally, we headed to IKEA. We walked and shopped for essential items we needed for our new home.

Afterward, I wanted something comforting. My sister suggested LA Chicken, and the "non-dieting" me would have probably said yes. However, the disciplined 2026 me said no and suggested Pho Japolo instead. I ordered the Cơm Gà Ướp Sả, which is marinated lemongrass grilled chicken. I ate all of the tender chicken and fresh salad, but I only finished half of the fluffy rice.

Admittedly, my strong willpower wavered slightly when I snacked on the Chả Giò, those deep-fried shrimp spring rolls that Mama did not finish. I regretted it only a bit because they were excellent and crispy. It was a satisfying meal to end a productive day!
