Pho - pronounced 'fuh'

My uni is only a stop away from Westfield - Stratford City, so my friends and I tend to go there whenever there's a special occasion or just for a casual lunch. After our last lecture before reading week on Thursday, we thought it would be nice to catch up with everyone and have lunch. The main reason we love Westfield is the World Food Court. Spoils us for choice plus we can get our food from different stores and sit together and enjoy the company; without the endless discussion of where to dine and trying to cater for everyone's taste and diet.

Thursday's lunch menu for me: Vietnamese :D

Never tried Pho...a Vietnamese street food restaurant specializing in Pho Noodle Soup (Vienamese nation dish).

Pho (pronounced fuh) is a large bowl of rice noodle soup served with fresh herbs and 15 different combinations of toppings and stock to choose from. Steak, brisket, meatballs, chicken, prawns, tofu...you name it! Me being a meat-lover, ordered Pho Bo Dac Biet - which was a combo of steak, brisket, and meatballs. The stock was beautifully flavoured. What I loved about Pho is that they served lime, chilli and herbs on the side, so we could garnish the dish to our very own liking. Once the lime hits the stock, the dish transforms into this delicious bowl of noodle soup bursting with flavours!























The menu also offers Goi (spicy Vietnamese salad), Pho Xao (wok fried flat noodles), Bun Noodles, and Cari (curry dish served with rice). They also have a variety of Vietnamese starters and desserts. My bowl of noodle soup was so filling that I couldn't even think about Dessert :P 
Price wise...I paid £8.45 for the dish, which I think is very affordable especially considering the big portion size. A healthy option for those that enjoy far Eastern flavours and enjoy experimenting and discovering new foods! :)
