The Phở Report II

Okay, I know that I have been in Saigon for almost a week now and I have written nothing about the city. Saigon is a huge hustling bustling town of moto bikes honking swerving through the roads with very little rhyme or reason even through the narrow alley ways that are used for guest houses and even small food stands. There are areas of the city that represent the life style of Vietnamese people in a more sobering way. Again like all big cities there are places that are built within the last year with the shiny signs that say 'Versace, Parkson, Adidas etc' that haven't shown any signs of decay. It is very much a metropolis of a city with 7 million people and a mass amounts of history.

The reason we are stationary is because we decided to extend our stay in Vietnam so we need to wait 7 days to get our visa back with our full 30 day extension.

Now the Pho report!

Pho with lean meat, from the stand at the corner of the street. This is by far the best pho restaurant that we have ate at since we have discovered the deliciousness of Pho!

Another lean beef Pho, this is from the place called Pho 24 which I did not like. It left me feeling unsatisfied I will not be going back. The odd thing about this one was that they had put garlic in it and did not give us any chili's. This was also I think the most expensive Pho we have bought upon our arrival. Costing me $2CAD

So the place on the corner provide you with fresh veggies that you toss into your hot bowl of steaming noodles. 

 Mung bean sprouts, Thai Basil, Lemon Grass, Coriander Leaves, Ngo Gai (cilantro like) and is also called spirit leaves, lime and dragon chilies.

Beef Stew Pho! This is the best kind of Pho that I have tried it is #1 on my list as of this trip in Vietnam. The meat is beef brisket and is oh so tender. The downfall about this particular bowl is that the meat is covered in fat but is also the reason behind why I think it taste so yummy! I will try this particular kind of Pho while traveling North to Hanoi.

Jenny wearing her I love Pho shirt eating Pho to go.

Pho to go, lean meat again. This time I brought back to my guest house still steaming and yummy, they provided me with all the pho fixings and even an additional oyster and sweet chili sauce that I believe would make a great dip for veggie rolls.  Even though I had to buy my to go container this is the cheapest Pho I have purchased. Costing me 1.25CAD.

Same pho time, same pho channel....I mean website. I hope you enjoyed this Food Porn brought to you by Jenny Tam & Karrie the tester of Pho.
