You are dead to me. I hate Toyota.
Ok joking aside, pho beef is pho beef. I'm generalizing but the taste/flavour is immaterial. It's like me telling you all Lunch Lady is worth a 2 hour wait and $35 price tag for pho. Just no.
But holy jeez, the broth, the noodles, I don't know what it is about Calgary Vietnamese places, but it just sucks ass. Are they trying to just fool the locals with their half ass broth? Do they not care about the quality or take pride in their signature soup? You go to these "top rated" 5 star Google Yelp blogger-reviewed places and I can't help but painstakingly go through this weak ass pho. I think gruel from a refugee centre might taste better.

Vancouver pho is better on average but Calgary had enough standouts where you can avoid all the bad ones.

As the resident fat fuck, one look from my lard filled eyes will deem whether or not its better than pho in vancouver.

Saigon Deli in the hood of calgary was really good - I thought it was better than banh mi saigon in Victoria drive.

Speaking of Pho, never tried in Calgary but we hit up this place in Edmonton and it is hands down the best Pho I have ever had. Hate all parts of deadmonton, but I still think about this place's noodles in my sleep sometimes. It was perfection in a bowl. no joke.

I've had plenty of beef in Alberta. I honestly did not think it was noticeably better than what we have here. It's good, but if I were to do a blind taste test I don't think I'd be able to discern which is which and beef is my favourite meat.

For those living in Burnaby, you can unload your junk for free at Still Creek tomorrow. https://www.burnaby.ca/recreation-an...cWWrygsHRtT3bQ Quote:
Back by popular demand, for 1 day, we’re inviting you to drop off any kind of household junk you’ve got at the Still Creek Works Yard—even items we don’t normally accept! On June 14, bring your hard-to-dispose items to the Still Creek Works Yard (across from the Eco-Centre) and we’ll recycle what we can, and divert the rest into the appropriate waste stream at no charge.
This is the perfect time to get rid of some of that clutter around your home, including items that would normally need to be taken to a Metro Vancouver facility and be charged a fee for disposal. Bring us items like:
- Mattresses
- Old furniture
- Scrap metal and appliances (big and small)
- Bagged garbage
- Recyclables (cardboard, mixed paper, mixed containers, etc.)
- Paints, solvents, aerosol cans
- Electronics
- Batteries (household, car)
- Many other categories of household junk!

Richmond is no problem. You leave shit out and some ah bak or ah mo will come by and take it (GUANGDONG HOARDERS!!!) regardless if it has value or not.
I saw this bak take this broken tricycle with 1 out of 3 wheels missing. He just sat on it and half pushed/rode it down the street while carrying a huge bag of recyclable's.
