Pho 24


Of course there would be a Pho 24 in Vũng Tàu. The chain stores are everywhere in Vietnam.

We're such suckers. We hopped into one simply because it was too hot to sit someplace with no air-conditioning at lunch.

The beef noodles were good as usual. At VND 32,000, it was great value still, but of course nowhere compared to the VND10,000 a bowl at the little shops which might just serve better soup brewed from some well-kept family recipe. Oh well.

Pho 24 offers free wireless mah. Took a bit of effort before connecting the Berry, but hey it works, ain't going to complain! Not that I was going to do major surfing or work at lunch, but at least I can read tweets on my timeline!

The beef noodles were so smooth and light. So nice. I could eat this at every lunch. It's just strange that I haven't found those Vietnamese paper rice rolls with the raw veggies and all. I keep getting fried spring rolls on the menu- which aren't what I'm looking for. Shall endeavor to get some good ones.

tuti: will check it out. is it thai? i prefer the vietnamese version- lighter!

tuti said...

heavy dark colored gravy kind of sauce for the dry version.
and soup? i think still dark colored. not thai. dunno wat version. maybe something like one of those shops that was/is in east coast road, opposite katong people's park complex. they have been in golden mile food court for maybe over twenty years.

tuti: OH! that's the thai teochew version. not fond of it. i like the clear broth kind. we've nothing of the good vietnamese sort in sgp.
