I went to Keo&#8217;s on 2nd again, this time with my mom. I was a little nervous taking her there because in the past she didn&#8217;t like anything too unusual, or atypical. But she loved the massaman curry just as much as I did, and wondered how I could eat the pad thai in all of it&#8217;s hot spicy glory. I spoke with the owner&#8217;s son, and found out that there was a sibling\u00a0restaurant\u00a0in St.Albert (a suburb of Edmonton) but he wasn&#8217;t sure of the name. I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s probably Thai Mekong\u00a0Restaurant (506 St. Albert Road, St.Albert, AB). So I&#8217;ll try and check that out soon.<\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"tofu Pad Thai by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4573487199\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"tofu Pad Thai\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4031\/4573487199_c1140737c7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nI got into Edmonton on Saturday afternoon, so I missed the Worldwide Vegan Bake sale that was happening at Planet Organic, but I did end up following tradition and going with Jen to\u00a0Double Greeting for a quick evening snack. We decided to go to Calgary the next morning.<br \/>\nWhile in Calgary we stumbled upon Le Chein Chaud. My normal go to place, Buddah&#8217;s Veggie house has turned into a meat veggie &#8220;Fusion&#8221; restaurant, so I was less interested in heading out there this time. So we were walking down 4st towards 17th, and there it was. The Chicago is vegan without modification. The consensus was that the veggie dogs were undercooked, but the toppings almost made up for it.<\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"Le Chien Chaud by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4585224972\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Le Chien Chaud\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4052\/4585224972_0e4aa55728.jpg\" width=\"188\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Le Chien Chaud - &amp;quot;The Chicago&amp;quot; by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4574123212\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Le Chien Chaud - &amp;quot;The Chicago&amp;quot;\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3514\/4574123212_93398c9f87.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nWe decided to drive the two hours to Vulcan, just because&#8230; we were already in Calgary&#8230; so why not? It was Sunday so most things were closed. But I got my picture taken with the Enterprise and beside the &#8220;Welcome to Vulcan&#8221; sign, and\u00a0logged into the Trek Center on foursquare\u00a0so I&#8217;m content.<\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"P1080813 by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4573489181\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"P1080813\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4049\/4573489181_aa306c8da5.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/center>On Monday I introduced a new friend to one of my favourite places in Edmonton, Krua Walai.
