Vietnamese noodle - Bun Bo Hue and Pho
Few weekends ago, we were invited to some rockin' delicious Vietnamese food. YESsss! Again! :D This is the second time to the same place, and definitely the place to seek true authentic Vietnamese food. Prior to that, I knew it was going to be central Vietnamese cuisine (Hue cuisine). Quietly and secretly, I was happy. The last time we had "special" Vietnamese noodles was in LA. No way am I going to get a good ol' bowl of Bun Bo Hue in Singapore. Of course I felt lucky, to be able to reminisce the flavors of Bun Bo Hue again, in Singapore. So, what makes Bun Bo Hue different from pho ? First, the lemongrass. That is what I am going to say.
Second, the broth. This broth is typically made from pork hocks and beef, instead of just the beef for pho's broth.
Of course, the host did not just prepare one dish. There was so much food prepared by the host. We had a feast, as usual. You can click to have a better look of what we ate.
The next time, I am going to make my salsa this way!
Thank you, host ^o^

Something new....Looks yum.
you know, i tried pho once and didn't like it and have never tried it again; i do like vietnamese food in general, though (the lemongrass and tamarind sauces), but not particularly pho. hmm! maybe i missed out on something :)
What a fun feast! The lemongrass in the broth looks fantastic!
I've never seen people make salsa by stirring it with their hand! The effect of the person mixing the salsa is beautiful in your photo. It is very cool!
Err...i can't tolerate the smell of leomongrass...;p
Show us ur salsa next time. :)
Yuuummm.. it must be so wonderful :)
You are so lucky to find a great Vietnamese host in Spore!
Wow, lucky you! The noodle soup looks delicious!
Everything looks so good! The noodle soup is calling my name.
The oily deep orange brew has the looks of the famous burning Xquisite lemongrassy tomyam all rounder , the great Grandma of all laksas south of Vietnam
wow this really rocks, so when will I be getting an invitation from you! :) hey drop by lar to my new blog www.bigboysoven.com! hehehehe! send your invitation asap yeah! :)
Lucky indeed to have such wonderful pals!
it looks so yummy. After coming back from HK, I could not find a good vietnamese restaurant in Penang.
woooo that looks flavorful. Lemongrass is niceeee
The soup!!! It's definitely gonna be empty if I had one :)
Nice photo of the motion of the hand in the salsa!
wah really envy u. This is as authentic as it can get :D
I could imagine the fusion of flavor in that dish.
Both are delicious, my mother makes them at home from scratch. I recommend Pho as the standard for Vietnamese cuisine and then moving on to Bun Bo Hue.
They both taste very different, bun bo hue being the more spicier of the two.
If you get the chance try them both.
Haha. I like the last photo!
Secret to salsa one ;-)
