Phở is a traditional Vietnamese thinly sliced meat and rice-noodle soup dish.


it might be acquired taste, but i grew up on this. it's not only my american friends that dislike it, as you can see, asians (tung) hate it too. it can't go wrong in my book because i love soup, noodles, and cilantro.

if you are feeling adventurous, i suggest you try vietnamese coffee w/ condensed milk and summer/spring rolls.

^^I'm 100% Chinese. The only reason why I like it is because my dad went out one day and got it. My dad, my sister, and I LOVE this stuff. At our worse, we had it like 3 times in one week. We use to have it once it week. =9

I really want to go to Vietnam and see what authentic authentic Pho taste like. I saw a tour on Vietnam on TV and the noodles like a lot wider and heavier. I mean, the best I've tasted is in New York but I might be biased cause I think NY has great food.

That looks REALLY good. I rice and pasta. The Summer Spring Rolls look really good too. I'm hungry but tired of the same boring crap. When I get some money I'm going to try something new. Know anywhere I can get some recipes for the items you have shown me here?
THANKS!

I love noodles, soup, beef, but HATEHATEHATE cilantro, the flavour absolutely disgusts me. I am so not a fussy herbs girl. Seriously. When they give me all that lemon, leafy crap and bean sprouts I don't put any of that it, wtf. I certainly don't have a sophisticated palate but the less ingredients to me = better.

I love pho! But I ate so much of it before I don't eat it as much.

Whaaaat? Basil and lime/lemon in pho is so good.
Anyway my hs had a major viet population so I grew up around viet swear words and pho.

it no longer takes 15 minutes to reach the closest pho restaurant. one restaurant is five minutes away and it's called pho real.

i like basil leaves, but not as much as cilantro and spring onions. i put in lime randomly but i usually prefer plain soup taste, meaning no sriracha or hoisin sauce in the soup.

Can't help it if my palate is more suited to Southern Chinese food shrug.gif That's why I don't love Vietnamese food, but I like pho because I can get rid of the extraneous crap.

There was actually a place that I went to all the time that was called Pho King. It was hilarious. I can't get really good pho here in NYC though, I can't seem to find it.

LIES. But I've never had authentic Pho so I really can't know what is good to a Viet palate. But I can recommend one on Ave U in Brooklyn. I haven't found ones that suit my taste in Ctown or Flushing. But my Viet friend eats at the one I do and she says its pretty good.

DAMN STRAIGHT, YOU TELL 'EM, TUNG!

Pho is overrated! I hate that stuff. lol I only go to pho restaurants so I can buy some com tam (rice dishes). The soup tastes and smells like shit to me. I love me some cilantro though, in my sandwiches. eyebrowes.gif

dude I LOVE LOVE LOVE bun bo hue. The downside is that I dislike those blood cubes. I think they're pig's blood? Ew those taste nasty in my bun bo hue. :[
