How many of you wish you could travel to an exotic place? Well, lets travel on a budget to Vietnam. How can we do this? Easy! Lets travel to Vietnam through cuisine because it is a cheap way to begin exploring exotic places.
The best way to survive a chilly fall day is by consuming warm food. I personally love pho, which is a hot noodle soup that consists of beef or chicken. B turned me on to a hole in the wall restaurant in Manassas called Pho Nguyen, which has the best pho I have ever consumed.
The best bowl of pho is different for everyone; so don’t be scared to add in basil leaves, bean sprouts, lime, and different sauces to perfect your soup. I personally love the kid size bowl of beef pho with lots of limejuice. However, B prefers to take full advantage of all the ingredients available, so again to each their own.
Now, if you are really adventurous I want you to try bubble tea. It is a delicious frozen treat with chewy balls made of tapioca starch. There are many flavors to try, but my favorite is the honeydew flavor. My advice to you is don’t be scared to experiment!

Are you brave enough to try pho and bubble tea?
Katarina, you are right -- Pho Nguyen is excellent. I'd also recommend Pho Bistro in the Eden Center in Falls Church (Wilson Blvd. next to Seven Corners). Excellent pho and some of the best bun in the area.

Susan,
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check it out!
I agree. Everything in the Eden Center is amazing! Saigon Crepes in Gainesville is an unusual place to eat and learn about Vietnam. It's interesting to see how much impact the former occupying country, France, had on Viet cuisine. Personally, when I think of Saigon, crepes aren't the first thing that comes to mind!
