have you ever had fall yes it's fall not
faux
anyway if the broth is sweeter and
tastier you probably have the southern
fall version so what is the difference
between northern and southern fall and
where is well originated we'll find out
in this video today
and then just dip it in the broth so
that they can be cooked
it's a perfect dish to start your day so
there are a lot of myths and legends
about falls origin the first theory is
pho was from van gu village in namlik
province where people carried and sulka
on bamboo poles to make a living during
the 20th century
another theory is that far popularly
rose in hanoi due to the surplus of beef
bones during the french rules in the
late 1800s and potofa
excuse my french pronunciation but
potupo is a very famous french dish that
is very similar to folk so bang so the
french culture probably have some
influence on the vietnamese for nowadays
also many people believe that the name
pho was from a chinese word khan in new
york
which is a chinese cow noodle dish in
the 1900s chinese immigrants would sell
new yuck fun and they would call from
the distance to attract customers
gradually they shorten it instead of
saying new nuke fun they say nuke fun
and then fun and vietnamese people
probably did drop the n sound because
fun
sounds similar to fun but in vietnamese
it means poop
and now i'm in saigon one of the most
developed cities in vietnam and
wherefall became so different during the
vietnam war there were a lot of northern
vietnamese migrated to the south of
vietnam and of course they brought fall
recipes with them
after the vietnam war in 1975 many
people fled the country and they built
their community and reserved the culture
by cooking fall and that's why you see
there a lot of southern thought in the
u.s canada and other countries nowadays
pha is known worldwide and is a beauty
of many cultures and historical stories
even though the origin of fall is not
clear but one thing i'm pretty sure is
that hanoi and faux saigon are pretty
different for faux saigon the first
thing i notice is the condiments people
spice up their fall with chili and
hoisin sauce they mix them together and
dip the beef in there
[Music]
so the second difference is the veggie
people serve basil sprouts and other
herbs with fall here which is super
strange to me because i'm from the north
and we have no veggies in fall
except for green onions and onion
but the reason why saigonese people love
eating veggies with fall is because of
the weather normally the southern part
is hotter than the northern part that's
why people eat veggie to cool down their
broth and their body temperature
it's opposite in the north because we
love having boiling soup in our fall as
you can see the bolfo in saigon is
bigger more topping and more flavorful
and it presents very well saigonese
people sweet dynamic and very generous
one more thing that i noticed is that
fall saigon have meatballs
that's very interesting and their broth
is fattier
i'm not even sure it's fattier it's a
word but fall in hanoi the broth is
clear
so to eat full saigon you're gonna pick
some veggie and then just dip it in the
broth so that they can be cooked oh if
you travel to saigon remember to bring
some napkins or wet whites because they
don't have any in here they only have
this wet wipe and it's going to be
charged separately so one tip is to
bring your own wet wipes whoop wet wipes
[Music]
this fall and the size of a bowl reminds
me of fall in the u.s it's so big and
i'm so full right now i'm not even
halfway yet
but i can't finish it i believe in me
[Music]
few moments later okay i'm so full right
now let me take you to hanoi to see what
for hanoi looks like
okay so now i have the hanoi faux combo
right here i just ordered a rare cooked
beef ball and fried sticks and porsche
egg and hanoian love love iced tea
[Music]
unlike fall in ho chi minh city for in
hanoi has less topping
so here people really prefer rare and
cooked beef it's called thai tea for the
rare beef you can just submerge it in
the broth and it will cook itself people
really prefer this long onion which i
don't usually see in saigon that much
and in here you can see they have rare
beef cooked beef long onion chopped
onions cilantro and i can smell a tin of
ginger in here as well
[Music]
even though hohanu has less topping
there's a wide variety of condiments
that you can choose from i always
compare for hanoi like a blank canvas
that you can choose any condiments mix
and match them to create your unique
flavor
when i eat fall in hanoi i usually put
the chili garlic vinegar and it's so so
good
and then a little bit of pepper in here
a little bit of
chili and then if you want it to be a
little bit sour you can put some lime as
well
i really like lime personally
and the noodles in for hanoi they are
wider and flatter
[Music]
i love how clear the broth is and with
all the spices and ingredients that you
put in there
it's it has all the flavors
sour sweet
spicy
everything it's perfect
so good
it's a perfect dish to start your day
also in vietnam it's very common that we
share the same table because you know
there are a lot of people and there's
just very small space so yeah sharing is
caring right
it's a must that you should order fried
stick to eat with fall because the
crunchiness of the fried stick mix very
very well with the softness of the
noodles and the beef here
i already talked about the portrait in
one of my video i think is how to eat
fall i'll leave the link right here but
yeah one thing that i want you to know
that
even though it's raw egg but it's not
eggy at all when you eat it it smells
like home
oh my god
so good
must try let's try with pho okay
so far which is a simple dish that made
of slices of water buffalo cooked in the
broth and with rice vermicelli and it's
called sao cho the vendors usually seoul
for at night when the singers came home
to eat dinner because those singers they
serve wealthy people so that's why they
had a chance to eat different food and
they had an idea of what was good and
what's bad so when they ate fall they
suggested the fall owner to add herbs
and spices such as char ginger onion
star anus and other ingredients to make
a delicious fall today i personally love
both for hanoi and fall saigon because
each one has a unique story and a unique
taste which one is better i'll leave it
up to you when you come to vietnam also
