Pho: for those who have been so unlucky to have not tried it yet, pho is one of life's best indulgences. A mixture of rice noodles, fatty beef broth, onions, cilantro with an assortment of meat, tendon, tripe or other meat topped with sprouts, lime, chilis and your favorite sauce (mine is saracha). Originating from Northern Vietnam in the early 20th century, it's distinct flavours will, in no doubt of my mind, forever change your life. You will begin to day dream of it every other day and spend your hard-earned cash on it at least once a week. Luckily for you pho is relatively cheap and Edmonton has lots of spots to grab a steaming bowl of it. However, if I were you I would check out Thanh Tam Vietnamese Noodle House located on 156ST & 111AVE right next to the lovely St. Pete's peeler bar. By far, this is the best tasting pho I have found in Edmonton and one of the most reasonably priced. The restaurant is large and never too busy so getting a seat shouldn't be an issue. The service is friendly and the menu extensive, however, I sadly admit have not tried even 2% of due to the delicious pho combos available. So put your busy life on hold for a moment and enjoy a heavenly bowl of pho at Thanh Tam's.
