misfish Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) OK, PHO??????????????? Just back. Nice to have a place just around the corner quick and fast. So good. Doug https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pho Edited September 11, 2015 by Brian B
akaShag Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Not sure if there is a PHO shop in K-town. Looks interesting for sure, and probably better than the sausages and whipped potatoes I made for supper....................but I was somewhat pressed for time. Tomorrow's menu (planned) is BC Spot-tail prawns Primavera with fusilli pasta, should be pretty tasty. Doug

misfish Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) You find in almost all smaller cities, these places get low ratings. Lots of talk about the best being in Toronto. Ah ya, they have the largest asian based community. Yes the few here in Barrie dont compare, but it gives me the satisfaction of a good asian soup. Great people as well.

akaShag Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks Brian. I have eaten at most of those K-town restaurants over the years. Guess I missed "PHO" but now I will look! Doug
Spiel Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Well it's gone, well mostly. Very filling.A big slab of my left over bacon wrapped, mushroom, onion, cheese stuffed beef from the smoker on a a fresh kaiser with my fave toppings along with the pasta salad topped with sun dried tomatoes and cream cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalapenos. Great meal, rest is now desired and the morning quite frankly scares me.
akaShag Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Preparation H and moist towellettes are your friends........
Spiel Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Preparation H and moist towellettes are your friends........ Amen!
manitoubass2 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Posted September 12, 2015 Haha nice dish spiel!!! Fantastic!!! I dont make PHO but I sure as heck search it out when im in southern ontario!!! Its a really nice change and the flavours are very satisfying! If I had a PHO place anywhere near me Id be there often
Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Hey Spiel, a Vietnamese, Tai place opened up this summer in Dunnville. It is across the street from Bob's Family restaurant. I know you get out here once and a while, check it out. The best spring rolls this side of the Mei Kong Delta. I haven't tried the Pho yet. Try Winnie's Vietnamese coffee. That dinner has made me hungry. I bought a container of mixed olives and veggies at the Portuguese market on James N. and Roberts St downtown. No one told me it was "E" Blast Furnace hot. It brought me to my knees. It was stupid hot , I mean kneeling on the bathroom floor over the toilet hot. I don't know how people can take it that hot. What is the scale they have to measure pepper hot? No amount of straight Vodka calmed the heat.
Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 You can't beat the Pho places in downtown Hamilton. My favorite is on Cannon St. West of James just east of Bay. St. If anyone gets to Hamilton check it out. A gallon is about 5 bucks.
crappieperchhunter Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 What is the scale they have to measure pepper hot? No amount of straight Vodka calmed the heat. The pepper scale to measure heat is the scoville scale. I grew peppers one summer that tested out at 250,000-300,000 scoville units. I ate a piece the size of a pencil eraser once they had ripened....never touched them again and the seeds are even hotter. Some hot peppers now rate at over 1 million units. By comparison Jalapeño's rate at around 3,000 to 5,000 units. Love pickled Jalapeño's with chips and salsa but that's about as hot as I can enjoy.
Gerritt Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 I love PHO, it's cheap and man is it good!!!!!! Problem is the menus...... 1000 types of soup! Can't say I've ever tried any of the ones that have tripe in them.... I stick to the basics at PHO places.... Chicken or beef lol
Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 I can't see how that hot is enjoyable, but some people like my Uncle, can.
Rodbender Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 I got 2 scorpion pepper plants you want hot??
ckewley Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Those peppers I used in my mash are rated at 1 million to 2 million respectively , now I doubt my peppers hit those marks as I don't have optimum growing conditions but it does bring a tear to the eye for sure

It,s loaded and I dont ask whats in it.LOL And to add I just pulled another well rubbed roast of the BBQ for weekend sandwiches. Me bad, Edited September 12, 2015 by Brian B
Spiel Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Can't say I've ever tried any of the ones that have tripe in them.... Tripe is not food, I stay far and wide from it.
misfish Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Tripe is not food, I stay far and wide from it. Just close yer eyes and swallow.LMAO Every soup I have ever had, had tripe. If it wasnt for a long gone, for some reason member, I never would of known of this great bowl of soup. Edited September 12, 2015 by Brian B
akaShag Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 OK if tripe is a prime ingredient of PHO I am not nearly so interested.............. Doug
Spiel Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 OK if tripe is a prime ingredient of PHO I am not nearly so interested.............. Doug It's not Doug, just need to read the menu and order it without.
Spiel Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Làm thế quái nào tôi biết được? How the hell would I know, if I didn't go and learn.
