You gotta love this stuff!

Well, after showing you boys and girls my cooking prowess here, here, and here. I’ll let you in some exotic stuff that I myself haven’t master yet. Introducing Pho, pronounced as “fe-er”, or Vietnamese beef noodle soup.

The ingredients (as best I can tell)

  • Beef brisket, sliced meat, tendon, beef balls, or other beef parts
  • onion
  • spring onion
  • basil leaves, jalapeno peppers, lemon, and lightly boiled beans sprout on the side
  • rice noodle
  • awesome beef soup with some herbs and stuff I seriously have no idea

This stuff tastes awesome, and carries a different flavor from the Malaysian hawker food. It is not sweet but slightly salty, and carries a mild salty and beefy flavor. The basil leaves and bean sprouts further enhance the flavor of the soup and really add to the color too. Some Jalapeno peppers will put a kick to the soup for those who loves hot food.

I had the pho in my must-visit restaurant everytime I go to Ho Chi Minh City. It is located at District 1 and situated just behind the Renaissance Riverside Hotel. Here at Kuala Lumpur you can go to 1-U new wing and try it at the Vietnam Kitchen restaurant. However, the local pho doens’t do justice to what you can find at HCMC.
