On a whim, my friend and I stopped into Phu Quy Deli Delight yesterday, and were pretty well blown away by what we found. It's a bulk-food only (think: dispensers at Whole Foods), 1/4-pound minimum little store with the most amazing selection of beef jerky I've ever seen: eighteen (yes, 18) different types. $20 later, I got to sample three 1/4-pound orders of the most remarkable dehydrated items: okra, mushrooms, and cranberries. While the cranberries were a sentimental favorite due to their sweetness, the mushrooms were perhaps the most remarkable, looking exactly like ... mushrooms, but having the consistency of crackers. Equally impressive was the okra which, while completely dry, still had the impression of that viscous, boiled-okra, mucous trait, whispering in the background. If you haven't tried this, you must. It's in the same building as Seaside Crab House, across from Pho & Exotic Fruit. On a side note, I had dinner at Nha Trang last night, and am happy to report that, despite the bad news about the matriarch, two of the exact dishes I had before were just as good, and the restaurant remains in Italic in the Dining Guide. The service is a bit "casual," and French-influenced in that you have to call the staff over if you want something, but if you know that going in, you won't mind.
