As a food lover, I was really excited to write about street foods especially Vietnamese ones. Vietnamese street foods have a great reputation both for their taste and the way people enjoy it. Therefore, it would be my shortcomings if I did not mention “Pho”.

| Enjoying Pho |
“Pho” actually has its English name: Vietnam noodle soup. The average Pho has broth, rice noodle, herbs and meat (Wikimedia). These ingredients make the dish perfectly balanced between meat and vegetable or between ying and yang. Although Pho refers to the rice noddle, what makes it really outstanding is actually the broth which demands long time cooking and sophisticated techniques. It was even reviewed by the very hard-to-please American chef that “The best breakfast of my life was and will always be a bow of Pho”. There are a wide range of “Pho” that you can find in Vietnam.

Pho is a hot food, but you can enjoy it in all four seasons in Vietnam. The best place to have Pho is Hanoi; besides, we have Saigon, Hue and Nam Dinh also.
I strongly believe that you will not disappoint having a bite of this dish. Hardly have my foreign friends eaten only one bowl, how do you know you may not be one of them someday when we meet?
