local delights

Two delicious local delights to share with you today. Erik and I don't eat out often, but try to choose interesting places when we do. We have two restaurants that are among our favourites in Kelowna. Both are situated downtown so one can go for a walk along the lake after (or before) dinner.

1. Pho Soc Trang

Yumm. Delicious and affordable. We usually share a pho soup with vegetables added. Dinner for two for under $15. Also, you get a punch card when you buy soup so after ten you get one free. If we don't get the pho then we get the lemongrass vermicelli bowl which is equally delicious.

One of the best things about Pho Soc Trang is the employees. They are hilarious and adorable.

2. Bai Thong

I'm sure Bai Thong could be affordable, but Erik and I can't help ourselves when we're there so we eat way too much food and spend way too much money. We only go here if we're going for dinner with friends. The owner always laughs at how much we order and tells us we won't be able to finish our meal. We always do and walk out with our bellies aching.

Recommendations... everything! Pad Thai. Tom Ka Gai. Pad Prick King. Gang Kiew Waan. You could honestly pick anything on the menu and be more than satisfied.

I wish I had an excuse to go for dinner now. Anyone want to come for a visit??
