I love Pho. I grew up eating this oh-so-yummy Vietnamese noodle soup. Pho is great to eat for lunch or dinner. And the nice thing about Pho…it is so cheap and good! You can visit any local Pho restaurant and experience a wonderful hot bowl of the Vietnamese styled noodle soup. Vietnamese styled cuisine food and Pho is very popular in the Seattle area. Pho is great to dine with your friends during lunch to chat and gossip. For a yummy large size bowl of Pho is about $5. Since the economy is at a difficult period, it is always smart to spend money on great food that’s not too expensive. Why not a hot bowl of Pho?
Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup served in a flavorful beef broth with beef or chicken meat. The Pho noodles are made from rice added with fresh basil, bean sprouts, peppers, jalapeños, and lime. At many Vietnamese Pho restaurants, hot and spicy sauces are provided to add more flavor and taste to your soup. The beef or chicken meats are sliced thinly and you can also have the option of adding meatballs or shrimp. This adds a bit of a tasty combination. A bowl of fresh Pho noodle soup will be a delicious, flavorful taste to your hungry mouth.
The history of Pho actually came from Vietnamese refugees that were fleeing Vietnam onto boats during the 1970’s to late 1980’s. In many parts of the countries such as the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia are filled with Pho restaurants. Not only are they bringing a part of their Pho recipes and home-cooked food, but cultural influence and background as well. If you love Asian food, you will love Pho.
