Pho is one of Vietnamese typical food and it is very famous among foreigners. In Vietnam, there are many provinces that are famous for “pho” such as Hanoi, Namdinh, etc. Every place has its own unique characteristics.
Pho is really Vietnamese daily food, so we can eat it everywhere. It is so popular that there are such “pho” restaurants each province. Especially, Hanoi has good “pho” restaurants, which does not take us a long time to choose where to enjoy it. You can enjoy “pho” at home if you are good at cooking because it’s not difficult to cook “pho”. “Pho” is completely delicious, that’s the reason why Vietnam people have it every meal if they’d like. Usually, we have it at breakfast or dinner.
That’s very interesting when you said that the soup would be poured on the rice. In fact, “pho” is made of rice powder. It looks like vermicelli, but it is thicker and wider. The cooker usually boil it, then put in a bowl with beef, onion, salt, and pour the soup which is made of beef-boiled water at last. At restaurants, based on people’s taste, they can add chili, vinegar or lemon before enjoying a “pho” bowl. Of course, to save time or money, we have instant “pho”. In my opinion, it is not as delicious as “pho”, even it’s much worse. In Hanoi, we only spend only 25-40 thousand Vietnam dong enjoying a delicious “pho” bowl. However, we can have instant “pho” instead with 4-5 thousand Vietnam dong.
