Phở 24 a.k.a Pho 24

Location: District 1, Ho Chi Minh City

Phở is a Vietnamese noddles soup, which usually served with beef or chicken. This restaurant is a chain restaurant, where it can be easily spotted around in HCMC area. Apart from being delicious, I like the original taste which of course only can be found in the "home" turf.

Usually I would order the beef pho soup, while my wife will takes the chicken pho soup. Personally, it taste better with beef. However, it depends on individual what taste they would like.
When eating over here, usually I would order the mango fruit juice, as I love this fresh juice whenever in Vietnam. It is very fresh.
The nooddle soup is served with the vegetable, where one can mix the vegetable into the soup to make it more tastier. Generally, the local likes to serve the dished with raw vegetable, which I think make them more healthier.
We also ordered some side dishes, like fried spring roll. I'm not sure we are hungry or likes the local food over here. Just found that generally the food in this restaurant is well served and delicious.

With the environment in the restaurant, would recommend to try out the foods in this restaurant. From the website, found out this restaurant available on other countries such as Hong Kong, Philippines, Korea etc.

Nice food besides Bến Thành Market II

Location: Stalls besides Ben Thanh Market, HCMC

1. Prawn with Coconut
This is another delicious food, where it served with fresh prawn. Then, it will be heated up by burning it with fire blocks. Once it is hot, the waitress will come and help to peels off the skin of the prawns for you. By then, you can enjoy the delicious hot prawn. We like this dish due to the fresh prawn provided. One can see from the picture the reddish color of the prawn.

2. Fried prawn
This fried prawn (forgot the name), is a good recommended food. Forgot the name though, but have been searching for the name for quite some time. Previously, have been recommended by my Vietnam's friend, but for this trip, I tried to order it by myself, but I just be lucky to get it correct.

3. Dish like a taugeh, but it is pancake
This is for a light dish, where it can be eat like that serve together with the local beer here. Suggest to try this out here, if you have a big group travelling together and could enjoy more delicious food over here.
