I enjoyed this surprising vegetarian sweet & sour soup at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, which happens to be in San Diego. The colorful soup contained cherry tomatoes, pineapple pieces, bean sprouts, gourd (actually young loofah scrubbing sponge), basil leaves, and soy fish, all in a sweet, sour, and spicy broth that contained jalapeño. I'm usually not a fan of imitation meat products made of soy, but the two fish steaks I got in my soup had a chewy flaky texture and realistic fish flavor. The soup was served with a bowl of rice on the side, and it was an exotic but inexpensive meal. Location: Que Huong Restaurant, 4134 University Avenue, San Diego, California. Date: December 3, 2014.
