Food Review: Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant

5975 Kingsway, Burnaby [map]

Food:  Tasty.  At least the noodles that I’ve had.  I’m not a fan of the meat balls though.  Good place for a quick lunch.

Service:  Usually quick but not usually personable.  The second you step in the front door, someone will ask you how many people and then point you to a table.  Your order will be taken minutes later followed by your food quite quickly.  Drinks at times may arrive much late though.  Don’t expect the waitresses to check up on you, but don’t be afraid to flag one down if you need to.  The bleached-blonde woman is always angry looking.  I think every day is the worst day of her life.

Ambiance:  I think there used to be a Greek restaurant there.  Cleanliness?  Let’s not go there.

Late Night Blues

I worked about 19 days straight as of this past Saturday.  I took Sunday off.  Sometimes, I find working late quite peaceful.  My desk is in the far corner with 4 other desks and so secluded away from the busy-ness of the rest of the area.  However, it gets rather boring at night.  Especially since the other 4 people that normally sit around me aren’t staying as late.  There are a lot of others staying late too, but they’re all on the other side of my cube.  Sometimes it makes me jealous when I hear them guffawing about stuff I don’t know about.  Oh well.

30-second Food Reviews!

I’m horrible at writing, always have been since elementary school.  So I will leave the more elaborate reviews to those who have talent!  Any restaurant I review from now on will remain short and sweet.  Anything that stands out from my experience will then go into detail. 

Hmm, my blogroll seems to have disappeared with this new layout… I’ll need to sort that out…

Lack of Updates

Unfortunately for the past month I’ve been pretty swamped at work so I haven’t had much time to do anything creative.  I did remember that I did a small Mario-based painting sometime last year.  Nothing fancy, but definitely geeky!
