And yes - I too ha...Thanks for the recommendation!<br /><br />And yes - I too have found that Vinh Long is full of delicious food.<br /><br />But I fear that some Hanoi lovers are going to give me a hard time for making this assertion re. pho :-)Walter Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780247928442366936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978272934805202254.post-36759906826739132792012-08-05T17:15:52.534+10:002012-08-05T17:15:52.534+10:00I agree with you on Ha Noi Vs Ho Chi Minh for Phở,...I agree with you on Ha Noi Vs Ho Chi Minh for Phở, but perhaps I am biased with my wifes family all coming from Ho Chi Minh and Mekong area.<br /><br />Whenever I eat Phở it has to have alot of Rau Quế (Thai Basil) Ngò Gai (Sawtooth Coriander) and other Asian style mints. In the north they don't do it that way, with very few if any Rau.<br /><br />Also agree with you on the Phở chains (Phở 24, Phở 2000, etc) I will also add Phở Hòa Pasteur to that list, you can get much better Phở in some of the most unlikely places for instance one of my fave places for Phở is actually in my wife's home town of Vinh Long. Its always packed full of customers and its a fraction of the cost of the big chains. <br /><br />If you are ever in Vinh Long the name of the restaurant is Pho 91, which if my memory seves me correctly its on 2 Tháng 9, just off Trưng Nữ Vương, Vinh Long.Vietnam Travel Guyhttp://vietnamtravelguy.comnoreply@blogger.com
