| Vietnamese Noodle House in the northwest |
Saturday night was the best night of the week. After a full week eating leftovers from the fridge, dining out became a necessity. A change of taste and cuisine was highly anticipated.
Since my wife was
visiting her sister, we decided to treat them out to dinner. Pho Van was
selected since my dad said that the pho was made well.
Before we went in the restaurant, we expected the pho to be hot and salty. Typically, Vietnamese restaurants serve pho in this manner. This is to ensure that the flavors in the soup are retained, cold and prepared noodles can cook quickly once an order is placed, germs are barely existent, and the lifespan of the soup lengthened. for a period of time. Little did we know, this gem that is situated across from the northwest T & T Supermarket surpassed these ordinary expectations.
I must declare to you
that Pho Van is the first Vietnamese restaurant that we went to in Calgary that
we did not go home thirsty and with the urgency to down four liters of water in
one sitting. The absence of thirst is a good indicator that the soup the chefs
produced did not contain high amounts of sodium. The lack of sodium hinted that
the soup was not kept for a long period of time; it was made fresh.
