Cha Gio are wrapped in rice paper, while Cun Juan are wrapped in flour wrappers. The texture you like so much comes from layer after layer of thin rice paper, which separates as it’s fried.

The Cha, or “meat cake”, is actually an egg custard that typically contains ground or thinly sliced pork, wood ear mushrooms, and mung bean “glass” noodles. It’s mainly flavored with nuoc mam, the ubiquitous Vietnamese fish sauce.

Hi Jennifer: Show us how your Pho turns out.

Hi Maria: I agree. Pho Hoang is certainly one of the cleaner Vietnamese place. It sure is much brighter in there because of the large windows all round.

I think Pho Hoang has the best pho soup in Vancouver. They make a broth that is beefy and perfectly balanced in sweetness, saltiness, and aromatics. Also, the restaurant is impeccably clean. I’ve tried a lot of pho restaurants in the past, but now I don’t bother going anywhere else. My boyfriend likes the lemongrass chicken too.

The Vietnamese springrolls are much more crispier because of the different wrap that is used. It’s funny that they’re named springrolls because they’re much more similar to eggrolls. :D Anyway, the wraps look identical to eggroll wraps; however, they’re labeled as “springroll” wraps.

Thanks for the offer, but we should be going into Edmonton in the next few weeks. They have several large Asian grocery stores, looks like I’ll be dropping some cash, and going to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant (The Pagolac).

Hi Jennifer: If you want to, we can go buy the Vietnamese ingredients for you here. But mailing it might not be cheap, I reckon. Let me know if you want it.

Hi LotusRapper: We like Pho Van too. Their pho is certainly one of the best we tried.

Hi Jason: I had been following your series of Pho restaurants. You like Pho very much don’t you?

Hi Shelley: Glad you enjoyed our posts. I’ll check out your new blog directory.
