Geo and Lisa have set out on an adventure... to boldly venture forth to places we have never gone before... to unearth what had previously been to us, a hidden food culture in the city we call home, Spokane. Without a doubt, it is truly a pleasure to taste the many wonderful flavors of the world that lay hidden like treasure in the kitchens of small business owners in nearby neighborhoods until their presence upon the menu catches our eye. Our quest was not to to find the best or the worst... but to try something new, to make new friends and acquaintances and to discover for ourselves more of what life in Spokane is like and what our community has to offer in way of culinary experiences.

The inspiration to embark on such a journey came after several dinner outings where we realized that there were many ethnic foods and extremely nice people who owned restaurants in Spokane. Having found this to be quite remarkable, we simply decided to broaden our horizon, to boldly go where we had never gone before, and keep a log of where we had been, what we ate and what we experienced while we were there.

With time to spend together around the dinner hour and a little lunch money in our pockets that we could give to our community in a "support your local business" type fof way, we began our food trekking journey in and around the city, and even venture out from time to time. It has become our quest, our journey... perhaps even our weird obsession, but whatever it is, whatever you think it may be, it is done with a spirit of adventure, one that we now take with us, everywhere, and wherever we go...

This is Lisa's blog... and THIS is Tasty Trek. This is our story.

Pho Saigon

It was a little bit of deja-vu when we were seated for I remembered that we had been here before, but under a different name. This restaurant is new... and yummy! The people were really helpful too. If you know nothing about Vietnamese food, they will surely help you. Vietnamese food is wonderful.

11808 E. Sprague is the address.

Here is the Spring Roll appetizer... one of my favorite things to order at a Vietnamese restaurant. They are different from the Thai or Chinese Spring Rolls. These are dipped in a peanut sauce.

We had Pho and a Pan Fried Noodle dish, that I forgot the name of. Here is the pan fried noodles:

This dish is amazing. The noodles are crispy and dry. But when the hot meat, vegetables, and sauce are poured over the middle of the noodles, the noodles become soft, and semi-crunchy.. really fun to eat!

The Pho was really tasty too.
