In 2005 I have been recommended to check a blog called "Noodlepie" by some English reporter living in Vietnam. He wrote about our street food. Reading his blog, I realized "Wow, so interesting, so many things that I never tried!"
And I never though that I will develop a food blog until today! Taking a break from business, and with support from a friend who is IT expert, I decided to start, to inspire myself by discovering those foods that we can easily find everywhere in Vietnam, on every street, in every corner!
I start my first food blog with a star "Beef Noodles"!
Phở Minh in small alley on Pasteur street, right in the center of Saigon!
Phở Tàu Bay - one of my favorite beef noodles in Saigon! Open only in the morning!
Beef noodles or as we call here "Phở bò" - one of the most popular and favorite street food for many many Vietnamese and foreigners. Nowadays it's easy to find Vietnamese beef noodles in the States or somewhere else outside Vietnam, but here the best!
According to my friend, who is a big foodie, he said "There are three elements: beef, soup and noodles. Whenever we want to judge which Phở is the best, we should consider all these three!" He also said "no any Phở in Saigon can meet all three criteria!"
Anyway we also divide into different groups: beef noodles in Northern style (Phở Tàu Bay, phở Dần), in Southern style (phở Hiền, phở Hòa), in Chinatown (phở Lệ) and finally beef noodles by some overseas Vietnamese as Phở Hùng, Phở Ta!
