It is white, thin, flat and tastes slightly buttery and sweet like boiled rice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPh\u1edf\u201d is a popular dish in the north of Vietnam and properly the second most popular food among Vietnamese (after boiled rice). Nam Dinh is said to be the homeland of \u201cPh\u1edf\u201d, however, Hanoi is where this delicious food is largely consumed and becomes famous specialty. \u201cPh\u1edf\u201d is favorite breakfast, lunch or late night snack of many Hanoians and becomes a must-try food for any tourist comes to the city.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10756 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/toptourasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vietnamese-food-2424655_1920-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toptourasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vietnamese-food-2424655_1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toptourasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vietnamese-food-2424655_1920-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toptourasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vietnamese-food-2424655_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>About 50 years ago, \u201cph\u1edf\u201d was brought from the north to the south of Vietnam and new dishes like \u201cph\u1edf t\u00f4m\u201d- shrimp noodle, \u201cph\u1edf kh\u00f4 Gia Lai\u201d-dried noodle were born. After 1975, many Saigoneses immigrated to the US, Canada, Australia, and brought \u201cPh\u1edf S\u00e0i G\u00f2n\u201d to the Western. Nowadays, prestigious restaurant chain like \u201cPh\u1edf 24\u201d which operates in Vietnam and many countries all over the world makes it known internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Today, instant \u201cph\u1edf\u201d can be easily purchased in any grocery or supermarket. Cooking this kind of \u201cph\u1edf\u201d requires a little amount of time (just few minutes), and people can enjoy \u201cph\u1edf\u201d anytime, anywhere they want (they only need a bowl and boiling water). However, people still prefer to enjoy \u201cph\u1edf\u201d at roadside restaurants because of better flavor, lively atmosphere and their habit somehow. There are a few varieties of this dish, mostly on the types of cooking and the kind of meat involved. It never hurts to learn some of the word when ordering the dish, not only to present yourself as a food-savvy but also to make you more approachable to the local.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pho bo: Pho with beef<\/li>\n<li>Pho ga: Pho with chicken<\/li>\n<li>Pho moc: Pho with small balls of ground pork or beef<\/li>\n<li>Pho xao: stir fried pho<\/li>\n<li>Pho sot vang: pho served with a thick stew instead of beef or chicken broth<\/li>\n<li>Pho chua: a unique type of pho that could only be found in Northern mountain area such as Lang Son.
