akaShag Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckewley Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
