Hi guys! I’m My and welcome back to Hanoi – Food & Travel
Let me start our today food tour with a simple question:
If you have to think of a dish that can be the symbol for the whole Vietnamese cuisine
what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
If you are thinking "Is it Pho?".
Yeah, we are of like mind.
I’m standing at number 49 on Bat Dan St.
Right in front of a very famous Pho restaurant in Hanoi.
The restaurant has opened for more than 70 years
it’s really old, it’s as old as my grandparents.
It’s really famous and delicious.
Let’s follow me inside to see how delicious it is.
Can you see the long queue over there.
Every time you want to try a bowl of Pho from this restaurant,
you have to wait for at least 15 minutes,
but it’s really well worth.
The bowl of Pho here is really delicious, I have to tell you.
Sometimes I hilariously call this is queueing restaurant because you have to queue before you go inside.
So let’s go!
Before I start trying this delicious bowl of Pho,
I have to tell you that this restaurant,
it has the rustic wooden chairs and tables,
like when you sitting here and enjoy your bowl of Pho,
it’s so so cool.
You know what?
Pho is really famous, like all over the world.
But the Northern Pho and the Southern Pho is really different.
Pho was originated from Hanoi,
and I have to tell you that Pho in Hanoi is the best of all.
And I have waited for so long and I’m too excited to try this bowl of Pho.
When you try Pho in Hanoi, you are not just trying a delicious bowl of Pho and nutritious delicious dish,
but also you can feel the culture of Hanoi inside this bowl of Pho
and also history, especially you’re staying in an ancient house like this in Hanoi.
So if you have the chance to come to Hanoi,
please try this bowl of Pho or you will be regretted, I have to tell you.
And now I have to finish my bowl of Pho or else it’ll be cool down.
The soup is the hero of the bowl.
To make the soup, they have to use the star anise
It’s a kind of flower but also like an herb.
They also use a burn onion to make the smell of soup more attractive.
It’s like a harmony of savory, sweetness, and fatness.
All of the ingredients mix together and make a perfect combination.
OK! So I’ve just finished my delicious bowl of Pho,
I’m so full at the moment.
And you know what?
I leave nothing left in my bowl of Pho, just not even a drop of soup.
Because not just because of the long time that I have waited for not just ordering and taking the seats
because the restaurant it’s just keeping running out of space
and I have waited for at least 15 minutes;
but also because of it’s too delicious.
It’s really well-worth the time that I’ve waited to try it.
If you want to feel how I feel and want to try this delicious bowl of Pho,
connect with the Hanoi culture and cuisine.
So please come to Hanoi and head right to this restaurant at 49 Bat Dan St., remember it, 49 Bat Dan St.
So, I guess that all for today.
Thank you so much for following me and see you next time!
