Pho King

Today when I woke up I felt a real hankering for some piping hot soup. Lucky for me, we live across the street from the Pho King. If you are into saying words in their correct cultural manner then you realize how funny the name of this restaurant is. Pho is really pronounced Fa. The other amazingly odd thing about the Pho King is that the owner also owns an adult video store next door to the Pho King. We ventured in there one cold day looking to rent Lord of the Rings. There were some other titles available with the words lord and ring involved but none of them were up our alley. Despite the questionable moral character of the Pho King, the owner knows how to whip up some tasty tasty soup. I tend to stick with the chicken pho. The broth is amazing with mildly sweet notes. And how can you not love a bowl full of noodles, slender slices of chicken, bean sprouts, cilantro, onions and Thai basil. Kevin loves the brisket and flank steak pho. He likes to add a few good spoons of Thai hot sauce to his soup. I of course avoid this at all cost. If you are in need of a good stick to your ribs, soul warming meal I recommend finding your way to the best Pho shop in town. Or you could always come visit our Pho King and maybe make a trip to the Adult Video next door if  that is the sort of thing you are into.

Here are some snaps of my lovely Pho lunch!

You know you want some!
