| Logan Corner's Hot and Sour Soup |
I love hot and sour soup.
In my experience there are three great bowls in Winnipeg, Sun Fortune (2077 Pembina Highway), Logan Corner (247 Logan Avenue) and Spicy Noodle House http://www.spicynoodlehouse.com.
If you know of another great bowl, please let me know, as I certainly haven't tried them all. I have tried many, and I can tell you there is a sea of mediocrity out there.
Hot and sour soup has a reputation of being an avenue for using up older ingredients, and there is probably some truth there. In restaurants, that is often a function of soups.
Things I like to see in my bowl are chunks of tofu, barbecued pork, black tree fungus strips, shrimp, green onions, julienne carrots and bamboo shoots. A little sesame or chili oil on top are also good indicators of a tasty soup.
Sun Fortune has the option of adding plump and delectable shrimp dumplings, I highly recommend this option.
Logan Corner is open until 3am, a great place for a late night bowl.
I have to remember always to read your blog _after_ supper, Matt!
ReplyDeleteDelicious Vegetarian is my favourite hot and sour soup, not even being a vegetarian myself.
