Folks, so Melbourne Food and Wine Festival has kicked off with a lot of delicious events. That makes me think a lot about how blessed this city is with all the diverse food on offer. On this occasion, Lili and I decides to come up with a list of our favourite Vietnamese eateries in Melbourne.
Phở refers to the flat, long rice noodle not the soup itself. Therefore this dish is called short as Phở xào - stir fry pho. If noodle soup isn’t your thing, this simple, clear flavour dish could be a great alternative.
Phở gà is originally from Hanoi. It’s lighter in flavour but delicious still. Chinese donuts also go really well with this dish, deep them into the stock and eat them straight away.
There are 5 basic spices in Pho - cloves, star anise, cassia barks, cardamom, and coriander seeds. Fennel, cumin seeds and black peppercorns can be added if you wish but never lemongrass.
Pho refers to the long flat rice noodles, not the soup itself, although it is commonly associated with the dish as a unit. Pho is on the list of commonly mispronounced words and should be pronounced as 'fuh'.
