Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing. It is a rather nostalgic dessert as it reminds me a little of an orange push-up ice cream treat from my childhood. Plus, it is a molded gelatin dessert, which always reminds me of the past.

Viet Huong Vietnamese Restaurant in Huntsville
More than half of the tables at Viet Huong Vietnamese Restaurant were filled with customers despite it being between lunch and dinner. Plus, almost all of the customers were Asian. I took both of these facts as positive signs about the restaurant and I was not disappointed.
I originally intended to order Pho, but the clay pots were so intriguing that I had to try one. In an unfamiliar restaurant I would normally order chicken, but this time I was adventurous and decided to get the beef instead. Thankfully, the fairly thin slices of beef were tasty.
Although I liked the beef, my favorite part of the clay pot was the crispy rice on the bottom…yum! To be fair, I really like the vegetables too.
I liked Viet Huong so much that we went back a few days later so my husband could try it. This time the restaurant was full with more ethnically diverse crowd. However, I noticed that almost everyone was eating Pho.
On this visit, I decided to order Pho with meatballs after noticing its popularity and having read that it was good on both Urbanspoon and Yelp. I would order the Pho again…just not with meatballs. I just was not a fan of the meatballs.
I must admit that realistically I probably won’t order Pho the next time I go to Viet Huong. I will probably order a clay pot again. In fact, I liked it so much that I occasionally find myself wishing I lived closer so it would be an option for dinner.
