| - Feel a cold coming on? Want chicken noodle soup? Nonsense. Pho is where it's at.
I confess: I'm not even going to pretend that I know anything about what good pho should taste like. Especially as a vegetarian. But my throat was sore, my nose was congested, and my head hurt, and all I wanted in life was a huge, steaming bowl of noodle soup. Thank goodness for Pho Tien Thanh's veggie pho. VEGGIE PHO!!!
Since the thought of leaving the house was almost unbearable, I ordered takeout and commissioned my boyfriend to pick up my food, so I can't comment on the interior of the restaurant, or the service. The pho came packaged in 3 separate containers: one for veg and noodles, one for broth, and one for sprouts, lime, chilis, etc. After combining everything in a giant bowl and dousing it all with a generous helping of sriracha, I proceeded to feast on the goodness of veggie pho. Despite my ignorance of traditional Vietnamese food, this was exactly what I needed - spicy, savoury and steamy. And after I had gorged myself, there was still enough left over to enjoy for lunch the next day!
My fellow veggies, I urge you to treat yourself to veggie pho when you feel a cold coming on. It will do you wonders.
