Pho soup for you!

So I am starting to think of Roncesvalles Village as soup central. Since I tend not to be too hungry in the evenings and since a pint of Guiness is enough to fill anyone up at least half way, I've taken to ordering soup for dinner. I think I've mentioned before the usually delicious soups of the day at Dizzy's and recently I had an excellent (and rather spicy) seafood chowder at Loons. That one had a nice grab bag of yummy sea creatures floating around in a thickish stew. Of course there are half a dozen places that serve excellent borscht along the street and a few that have decent schav.

I've recently also gotten onto a pho kick, since this Vietnamese beef noodle broth is more or less a meal in itself. I've got a couple of favourite haunts, one in thje Junction another close to my gym. But the Cafe Pho Nho is so far the only pho restaurant I've come across in the Ronces area. It's not bad as these places goes and sure hits the spot after a hard routine in the gym when I want something that features both liquids and carbs. Only drwaback is that for some reason they serve the hot sauce and the hoisin sauce mixed up in one bowl. Not I like hot foods, but I can imagine others wouldn't, so I advise asking ahead for them to bring the sauces separately. Also, if you are used to the S.M.L.XL paradigm of pho ordering, you might be a tad confused. This place only has one size, which would be around an L at most places.

Anyway, enjoy.
