Pho Hoa
A very authentic pho at Pasteur Road District 3. It is quite a distance from New World Hotel (have to take a cab – 15 minutes traveling time).
Downstair has no air-con and likes our coffee shop. Upstairs more table but still like our coffee shop but with air-con (super not cold).
You will see more locals to patronize here than tourists.
They serve raw beef or well done beef brisket. We do not have strong stomach so we order well done version. I would think the raw version will be better as by the time they serve you with the hot soup – it will not be that raw and bloody. The broth is very nice, simple and flavorful. The pho (kway tiow) is so smooth that it is not heavy. The beef is served with very generous portion.
We order the side dish – beef ball with tendon. ok only.
The spring roll is not as good as those at Pho 2000.
They also serve with Yiu Char Kway – which we tried to avoid as it seems to be not very hygienic.
Plenty of mint leave, vegetable and spring sprout on the table to add to the pho.
