Let Your Taste Buds Travel: Vietnamese Pho

The Comfort of Vietnamese Pho

In the face of challenges that have shaken the travel industry and the world, we’re leaning into the lighter side of life—through our love of food, particularly the heartwarming Vietnamese Pho.

Introducing Vietnamese Pho

Pho is more than just a dish; it’s a story of resilience and adaptation, first gracing tables in Northern Vietnam in the mid-1880s. This delicious soup embodies a blend of culinary influences, reflecting the rich tapestry of Vietnam’s history. With roots tracing back to Chinese and French cuisine, Pho traditionally features rice noodles and aromatic spices, alongside red meat introduced by the French.

The dish truly began to flourish in the South after 1954, gaining immense popularity and evolving into various versions. With the division of North and South during the Vietnam War, Pho developed distinct characteristics: the Northern version remains true to its simpler roots, while Southern Pho boasts a more complex flavor profile with additional ingredients.

Today, the Southern style often dominates the menus of Vietnamese restaurants worldwide, leading to lively debates about which version reigns supreme. We invite you to discover your favorite—whether you lean towards the simplicity of Northern Pho or the richness of the Southern style.
