| - If you follow me you know I have an affinity for noodles (ok just pretty much any kind of food but who's asking). Whether its fat noodles, skinny noodles, white noodles, yellow noodles, I just love them all. Why does that make it relevant to this post you might ask? Well, let me tell you about this magical fat, slurpy white noodle dish Song Huong specializes in called bun bo hue. A perfect balance of salty, sour, sweet and spicy with the scent of lemongrass, this beef soup is complimented by the the previously mentioned white noodles, an assortment of meats and chopped greens. Hearty and delicious, I have yet to find a place which does it as good as Song Huong.
Plus, they even offer rice paper spring rolls (salad roll wrapper type deep fried shell which very few places do) and a wicked Vietnamese raw beef salad. Sounds strange but it's SO good - almost like a Vietnamese tartar marinated with onions, lime juice, chili's and topped with fried garlic and crushed peanuts.
I should mention this post is based only on the above three items. I've yet to try anything else and decor/ambiance doesn't count because it's pho and when you're nose deep in broth, that doesn't matter.
