Pho

Pho (Pronounced ph-oh!!!!, not ph-uh) is surprisingly amazing.  For those of you who don't know, pho is basically the Vietnamese version of chicken noodle soup.  They take a ball of rice noodles (gluten free!) and put your toppings of choice on top, and cover it with boiling broth.

Saturday night boyfriend took me to get pho at a place by my school called Pho D'lite. Boyfriend got the special, which is noodles with tripe, tendon, eye of round, fatty brisket, and flank meat (all cow meat if that was unclear).  It also had chives and spring onions with a boiling beef broth poured over.  I got the vegetarian pho, which was noodles with mushrooms, bok choy, and grilled tofu.  It comes with vegetable broth, but I wanted more flavor so I got chicken broth instead.  They brought bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeños and lime on the side.  I squeezed some lime over the top of my soup and put a bunch of cilantro into the bowl.  It was the best soup I have ever eaten.  I'm sure if I go to different restaurants and try different versions of the same ingredients, I'll find something better, but for now this was excellent.

Also on the menu at this delicious place was shrimp pho, chicken pho, Thai dishes (Pad Thai, etc.) and some appetizers.  I attached the menu here! Sorry about the weird layout, I promise I didn't create it!

I hope I can go back to different pho restaurants soon, but for now, I am 100% satisfied with my choices in soups. :D
