| - What a cool food court find!! The moment you walk into this little mall it's like being transported in time to an old school Asian mall ( think Richmond Public Market minus the produce/wet market). You can get your cell phone repaired, cargo mailed, purchase bootleg VCDs, sort out immigration woes,get nails done, and then buy a new shirt and have lunch. How crazy is that?!
Anyway, this little find was not bad for a food court stall, nothing fancy here but the Bun Bo hue was good as far as food court food goes. In it, there was an assortment of pork blood, Vietnamese ham, pigs knuckle (?!?), tendon brisket on round rice noodles in a mildly spicy broth. I am not too sure about the authenticity of this dish but it tasted pretty good and had a fair amount of ingredients.
My companions had an assortment of pho and banh mi, all of them looked happy with their meals and it all disappeared quickly to the place of no return!
It seemed to me that the pho could have used a bit more ingredients, as I did not observe the typical layers of beef on top of the noodles. Also, the banh mi seemed a bit understuffed to me..perhaps I'm just spoiled by my fave Banh Mi Saigon in Vancouver ;)
