Homemade Banh Xeo for the win. It's rare to experience homemade food nowadays, at least for me. Every single time I get to, I love to be there to learn how it's made. . . . #maxcaolovesfood #maxcaofood #yum #yummy #hungry #eat #drink #tasty #foodie #foodblog #foodporn #foodgasm #mouthwatering #delicious #tasty #savory #eating #snapseed #delicius #viet #banhxeo
It's not hard to get tempted when the ice cream shop is across the street. Thanks for the fun time! @iscreamforicecream209
Pho for dinner again. This time, the flavors are bolder and richer then yesterday. 😁
Savory beef bones after pho night. So tender and juicy!
Pork belly for dinner...drool.
Got to share my vacation stories over lunch with mom this afternoon.

Buttery, crispy croissant tacos? Yes please!

This is not your average Veggie Burger. Shout out to Eric and his staff @cast_iron_trading_co for putting together a great tasting, great looking burger during their lunch rush. Aside from the standard, I've added some bacon, roasted tomatoes, avocados, and cheese, to kick it up a notch. This thing got me doing a photo-op 📸 . . . #maxcaolovesfood #maxcaofood #yum #yummy #hungry #eat #drink #tasty #foodie #foodblog #foodporn #foodgasm #mouthwatering #delicious #tasty #savory #eating #snapseed #stocktonca #dinestockton #burger #veggie #fries
Have you tried @the_downtowner_stockton pull pork burger? Their homemade BBQ sauce is something special. This thing oozes goodness from all different directions. If your mouth and hands are not covered in BBQ, it's not enough and I can't get enough of their sauce. Check them out the next time you're thinking of lunch. . By the way, get their fries, it's addicting to snack on. . . . #maxcaolovesfood #maxcaofood #yum #yummy #hungry #eat #drink #tasty #foodie #foodblog #foodporn #foodgasm #mouthwatering #delicious #tasty #savory #eating #snapseed #stocktonca #dinestockton #burger #pulledpork #barbeque #pork
Have you tried the new ice cream shop in Downtown Stockton? Welcome @iscreamforicecream209 to the neighborhood. They just opened last week and look at what they're serving! The owners hooked me up with this donut ice cream. A rainbow sorbet sandwiched between two glazed donuts and topped with fruity pebbles. Simple, sweet, and...satisfying.
At the Central Valley Asian Chamber of Commerce Young Professional Mixer. Food featured by local talent @ricequeensocial. Thanks for the awesome Adobe Tacos!! It was great meeting you Benny!!
Introducing the Big 10 Burger @the_downtowner_stockton . At the base of this burger is a 1/2lb grass-feed beef layered with bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomatoes, pickle, onions, and mayo, and to keep everything together is two toasted sourdough buns. Thanks to Kevin and Amy for hooking me up during lunch! Definitely one sexy burger.
It's Bún Riêu for dinner. It's is a traditional Vietnamese crab and tomatoes noodle soup. The fermented shrimp paste, the spiced minced crab, the tangy lime and the crunch of the water spinach, all made for a party in the mouth.

My precious food moments.
