Hey Everyone!! My name is Pineapple Princess! *Why Pineapple
Princess?* I dunno, I don't particularly love pineapples but the name just came
to me years ago and it just stuck. So I guess I’m here to tell you about all
the fabulous places to eat in Calgary. So let's get started with one of my
favourites: Song Huong Vietnamese Restaurant.
This
hidden gem is located on 17 Avenue and 61 Street SE. Though the trek may be long from any given
place – it’s kinda on the edge of the city -- it is totally worth it!!! Amongst
all their delicious goodies you'll find their most popular dish: Bun Bo Hue, a
famous vermicelli soup dish from central Vietnam. The taste is very different from the regular
pho that you find at Vietnamese restaurants, it's a little bit sour, a little
bit salty and a little bit spicy. The level of spiciness varies sometimes, I've gone on occasions where the soup is very spicy and some days it's not spicy at all. My kind of soup! Note, if you are not a fan
of coagulated pork blood, simply tell your waitress "no pork blood". I myself love the stuff :)

My regular order consists of the aforementioned Bun Bo Hue,
Raw Beef Salad, and Spring Rolls. You might be turned off from the idea of
eating raw beef but trust me it's a must!!! The dish consists of raw beef topped
off with peanuts, thai basil, chilli peppers, fried shallots, fresh onions and
lime juice with just a bit of fish sauce. The spring rolls are also something to try because they use rice paper which makes them extra crispy!

I try to hit this place at least once at month, it's usually
packed on the weekends so expect a little bit of a wait or try to go before 11
am to avoid the "just rolled out of bed and I'm really hung over"
crowd.
