8/ Hanoi beef noodle soup (Phở)
Famous
chef Martin Yan (Yan Can Cook) told Tuoi Tre newspaper that he would enjoy Pho
right before he passes away.
Pho is sold everywhere in Vietnam but Hanoi is the birthplace of it.
So, what is Pho? It is a noodle soup, usually served with beef or chicken. The soup includes noodles made from rice flour and is often served with fresh herbs such as basil, sawtooth herb, cilantro, thinly sliced green onion, lime juice, and bean sprouts.
Time: You can enjoy Pho anytime.
Price: Most local people pay 35,000VND for a bowl of Pho.
But there are some restaurants serving luxurious Pho with Kobe or Australian beef for VIP eaters at the price of 100,000
– 650,000VND (32USD)
Note: Many people in Saigon and the South of Vietnam dont really feel Hanoi Pho is delicious. Its because of different taste (Saigonese and the South ones prefer something sweet and they have quite same taste with Cantonese... Therefore, those come from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailands, Laos, China... maybe wont say Hanoi Pho is the best)
