I still can't sit down at the roadside stalls to eat. Sure, the locals look like they're enjoying the meal loads. But I don't think my stomach is able to tahan street food like it could years ago. I finally mustered up enough courage to dump Pho 24 and skipped into the perfectly respectable Pho Viet for something that's a little less tailored for tourists and expats.A good bowl of pho is defined in its broth and how they make the noodles. I'm sure in all corners of Vietnam, lie hidden little shops that make fantastic pho. Pho Viet's steaming hot bowl of pho was freaking out-of-this-world awesome.
That bowl of pho is so memorable. Each time I'm in Vietnam and eat a bowl of pho in an eatery that is not part of a chain, it seems to be better than the last. I should really ply the stomach with charcoal pills or something, then go squat by a store along the road to slurp the pho. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

(I am feeling hungry reading about your out-of-this-world pho. Lucky no photo of THE pho!)
That's what Anthony Bourdain did - ate pho squatting by a roadside stall. I'd do the same!! :)
hopefully all hot hot freshly cooked stuffs are safe. i understand about the worry. even in singapore i get stomach upsets eating food from proper shops.
jomel: it's just that this is a work trip and i don't want to fall sick. if i'm on vacation, i'd eat man!
tuti: i rarely get stomach upsets. if i do, you can be sure the food is tainted!
oh wah! *drool* i think piping hot soupy stuff with no santan is usually ok.
sinlady: technically, yes!
