Saigon Pho: Noodle Your Way in For Tasty Vietnamese Cuisine

March 8, 2016 12:02 pm

When you’re craving something warm, hearty and full of flavor for lunch or dinner in Tomball, you can’t go wrong with Saigon Pho. This authentic Vietnamese eatery is a favorite amongst area foodies because of its plump spring rolls loaded with pork and fresh veggies, the delicious Pad Thai and other noodle dishes, and its signature Pho soups, which can be made with your choice of meats and other ingredients.

Saigon Pho interior is large enough to accommodate small groups throughout its comfortable dining room. Place your order at the counter from a long list of soups, dumplings, smoothies and noodles before indulging in a colorful macaron or a matcha cake for dessert. Saigon Pho’s prices are affordable and its service is quick and efficient, and if you’re really in a hurry, they even offer takeout options on anything on the menu.

How to Design Your Own Floral Arrangement

March 1, 2016 12:01 pm

Think that you have to visit a professional florist to find a magazine-worthy arrangement? Think again! With these simple tips for designing your own floral arrangements at home, you can fill your space at Marquis at the Woodlands with gorgeous flowers or even give them as affordable gifts to friends.

  1. Choose the perfect vase. Choose a vase that will fit the flowers that you have on hand, or if you don’t have a designated vase, use something like a mason jar, pitcher, or other household vessel.
  2. Using florist’s tape, create a grid across the top opening of the vase. Leave approximately one-inch squares in between the tape to keep the flowers separated and evenly spaced.
  3. Mix up textures by using a wide variety of different types of flowers. Contrast delicate baby’s breath with big, leafy blooms and eucalyptus branches.
  4. If you’re feeling a bit intimidated by the idea of mixing and matching, make a statement by using a large quantity of just one type of flower. Whether it’s classic red roses or purple hydrangeas, all flowers look beautiful when trimmed into layered lengths that eventually create a rounded arrangement in a short vase.
