I was invited out for drinks after work by my French gals Jenny and Justine, along with a few other friends at 1181 on Davie.<\/p>\n
‘Hmm what about dinner?’ – I asked Jenny.<\/p>\n
‘We will eat something nearby after if we are hungry,’ – she smiled.<\/p>\n
I guess this how the Europeans party for TGIF. Drinks at 6pm, and dinner is somewhere between 9pm and 10pm. Then the evening is just getting started.<\/p>\n
So we decided, for dinner we would just have pho next door at Pho Goodness. And oh – my – goodness, this place was pho good!<\/p>\n
Already having had a couple beers in my tummy, I was craving something with a bit of a kick. I figured some hot and sour seafood pho would be right in my alley. Oh boy was it a brilliant choice! The hot and sour broth was spicy, acidic, but also aromatic. It reminded of the hot and sour broth used in a fish hot pot at Phnom Penn. Loved the chunk of white fish in the soup – fresh, tender and buttery. They also provided a generous amount of bean sprouts, providing some great texture contrast to the noodles.<\/p>\n I had a couple sips of the broth from Justine’s beef pho. I think they have truly nailed the most important test for any pho place, and made a beautifully velvety broth.<\/p>\n Yes thank goodness, we found the Pho Goodness! I’m definitely coming back here.<\/p>\n![\"Seafood](\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0189.jpg\")
