Pho Sure

Food is one of the many things people enjoy in life. Food is essential to survive, and depending on the country and region, food may be scarce. I am blessed to have grown up without ever worrying if there will be food on the table, and even have the luxury of going out and enjoying all different kinds of food.
One of my all time favorite food is Pho. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup. The soup itself is made up of beef broth, but additional items are added. Various vegetables such as bean sprouts, cilantro, onion, and other herbs and spices are added. Pho comes in different flavors, including vegetarian, chicken, and shrimp, but beef is my favorite. On top of everything, a slice of lime can be squeezed into the broth, and depending on taste, Sriracha sauce can also be added.


Ranging from about $7-9, Pho is one of the more affordable dishes to order whenever I decide to eat out. The soup is tangy and depending on how much jalapenos and Sriracha sauce is added, can be very spicy. The taste is hard to describe, as there aren't too many dishes that share the same combination of ingredients. Every Pho restaurant also have their own way of cooking the broth, and the taste may greatly vary.

Pho is primarily a breakfast food, and from what I understand, the broth takes hours (overnight) to cook. I however have rarely had Pho for breakfast, and enjoy it during any time of the day. While this may be one of my favorite dishes, this dish may not be for everyone, and the taste may be an acquired. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to try different food.
