Food Trip in East Cambie, Richmond: Lotus Pho Restaurant

By Celine -
After my DD Mau adventure with Therese, my mom, out of nowhere, asked me to have lunch at Lotus Pho Restaurant after church.

Lotus Pho Restaurant is a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. Upon entering, the place is full people. It's the Sunday lunch rush. When we were seated and browsing through the menu, I just know that I'll have Vermicelli Bowl again just to compare it with DD Mau.

Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Chicken Slices, Fried Roll

My mom, on the other hand, can't decide on what to get. All she knows is that she wanted noodle soup.

Beef Stew Served with Rice Noodle Soup

Review: As you can see I ordered a Vermicelli Bowl with the same toppings I had the day before, grilled chicken and spring roll. They both tasted the same. What I like more about this one though is the fresh vegetable salad which works great with everything else. Meanwhile, mother was surprised that the beef in her Beef Stew is so soft. She thought it'll be difficult to bite because it's really a chunk of beef. Overall, it's a good experience and I'll definitely bring Jomar here when he comes back.
Location: Lotus Pho Restaurant, Richmond BC

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's
