Pho Hong
5975 Kingsway
Burnaby, BC
Ah, once again… Late night on Kingsway… It seems that a year or so ago, I was spending late nights in Hastings East after playing Magic the Gathering; now, I spend more time in the Kingsway side of Burnaby which leads to late night eats at times. In this case, I was looking for something “soft” for the stomach, as I had some heavy eats earlier that day. That easily took out a lot of options there and left me with something like pho…. Well, pho it is! And, among the several pho places, this time I chose to go to Pho Hong.

This was supposed to be two short post but I thought, rather than two short posts, how about having a longer one, specially considering these two places shared some things in common? Namely, me needing a meal; however, I wasn’t THAT hungry? OK, that might be an overstatement… Basically, I had a somewhat heavy meal earlier that day and needed a snack/light meal. And based on posts from other fellow bloggers, I thought I should drop by Huaxi Noodle (in Crystal Mall’s food court) and Chong Lee Market…

Lam Hoa Quan
5073 Victoria Drive
Vancouver, BC
On a weekend, I had a long list of things to do and, after having done with most of them, I was up for an early lunch. The problem is that a lot of places do not really open “early enough” and trying to find something might waste a lot of times. One of my to-do list things was in Victoria Drive, I decided to stay in there and just have lunch. That meant going to Lam Hoa Quan, mainly due to a post by Anita.

Thai Hang Vietnamese Restaurant
2122 East Hastings Street
Vancouver, BC
A couple of weeks ago, Karl (The Friday Lunch) and Sherman (Sherman’s Food Adventures) checked with me for Bao Bei. But, alas, I felt sick that night. Karl and Sherman decided to go ahead anyway but, instead, they ended up going to Hapa Izakaya because Bao Bei was packed full (not unexpected considering it was just open by then). Fortunately, another outing was organized, this time for something Vietnamese, but not pho or banh mi but Bò 7 món or beef 7 ways or seven courses of beef. The restaurant selected for this? Thai Hang in Hastings Street. And, in attendance…
And, of course… Me!

Pho Tan Vietnamese Restaurant
4598 Main Street
Vancouver, BC
Memories might fail me on this one but, when asked which is the best place for pho, somebody said “Pho Tan in Main Street”. On the days prior to the crazy road closures prior to the Winter Olympic games, I went to Pho Tan just to find out how do they compare to other pho shops. Pretty simple, eh? Well, if it wasn’t for one small detail…

OK, it has been almost two weeks since I came back from Seattle and I am not finally starting to catch up with my post on Vancouver restaurants. I think that, for comparison purposes, Seattle can give a run to Vancouver’s Canadian dollars in terms of food but, in the end, I am biased towards Vancouver, hehehehe.
Anyway, after I was back, the eternal question popped out the following morning: Hungry… Food… Where? The truth is that I need something “soft” to the stomach. After all, I ate way too much fatty/fried food while in Seattle! So, in a way, I short listed myself to soup, congee and noodles. But, since I was doing errands in the Edmonds area, I decided to drop by a pho place that might easily fly over almost everybody’s radar simply because it is in an odd place: a strip mall in 20th Street – a street that usually carries heavy traffic (because it directs you to the Queensborough bridge) but not much else.
