Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them ~ Unknown
It was cold and rainy today. Just the type of weather for a hot bowl of noodle soup. We went to the Thai Son Restaurant on No 3 Road. Is just across the road from the Richmond Centre.
The Thai Son Restaurant is owned by a Vietnamese couple. Although the name Thai Son appears to be a Thai restaurant, it is not ... it is a purely Vietnamese restaurant. Thai Son has a restaurant too under the same name in East Broadway in Vancouver.
Apparently, this restaurant was very popular back in the 1990's among the Hong Konger crowd. There are a number of photos hanging on the wall of some old Hong Kong movie stars in the restaurant who emigrated to Vancouver prior to the 1997 handover to China.
As in all Vietnamese restaurants, they always serve first the complementary bean sprout. Thai Son serves the bean sprouts blanched and warm.
Suanne ordered the Rice Noodle in Special Vietnamese Stew. The stew was not thick and the beef chunks were tender. Marcus shared this with his mum.
Norman ordered a large Beef Ball noodles. He finished the entire large bowl. We are glad to see him eat the whole bowl because he normally does not eat much and is underweight for his height. Norman likes to add lots of teriyaki sauce to his noodle.
I ordered the Rice Noodle in Spicy Soup. It was quiet spicy and with the hot soup, I worked out quite a bit of sweat ... just right for a cold and rainy night.

We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police. ~ Unknown
We stayed in and watched the closing ceremony of the Turin Olympics and did not go out for lunch as we normally do on the weekends. We were actually more interested in the 8 minutes segment of the Vancouver's "Come Play With Us" presentation and seeing our mayor receive the Olympic flag -- don't you think it's cool having none other than Sam Sullivan receiving it. I think it speaks volume of what Vancouver is about. We are all pretty excited about the Olympics coming to Vancouver in 2010.
This box of pizza must have been in our freezer for about, what, 4 weeks? We bought it but never got down to baking it. The pizza we made today is the Crescendo Rising Crust Pizza brand with the Roasted Chicken Deluxe flavour.
The pizza was layered with with rich mozzarella cheese, lots of it. The chunks of chicken pieces were quite big too. Other toppings were onions and green and red peppers.
You can either bake the pizza to a soft crust or crisp crust. We always prefer the crispy crust. The baking took about 20 minutes in the oven.
To me, the best part of the pizza is the crispy and crunchy crust. Small meal but just great for an afternoon in front of the TV.
