In UK, I had no fuss or complaints with Vietnamese food but I found myself avoiding it in HK because the quality and taste is so different from UK.Recently heard of Co Thánh but it didn't really motivate me, but Fûhn did because they specialize in North American Pho which I have always wanted to try.
The reason why Fuhn appealed to me is that CBCs, ABCs and celebs are always raving about how good the pho is over there just like how the texture and taste of ricerolls and noodles are more elastic and not sweet by default in UK.
The noodles are served with herbs such as basil, perilla, fish mint, rice patty herb, which you can add according to your preference.
You also get a side of beanshoots, chili and lime for the noodles.
The beanshoots are impressive because each one has had the top and tail removed so they look clean and fresh.
Moving onto the noodles, we got the XXL special beef pho where the bowl is so big that it takes up most of the table and the chopsticks and spoon seem tiny in proportion.
Tried the broth first which instantly got me hooked because of the strong herbs yet the broth was clear and light free from a layer of oil.
It was savory and not sweet like Hong Kong phos and the noodles were just right flavoured with that broth.
The noodles were topped with thinly sliced onions, raw beef, cooked beef, beef tendons, beef balls and beef tripe.
I really liked the beef tripe because it was sliced to about 4mm so it hung more soup and it was less chewy to chew!!
We also had a platter and the prawn cakes were the best, they were tasty and fluffy with chunks of prawn in it which tastes like the prawn paste they use in UK's sesame prawn toasts served in Chinese joints.
Finished with avocado milkshake and Vietnamese ice blended coffee, both did not disappoint but there was tomato smoothie on the menu too so it will be on my drink list on the next visit, so will the chicken noodles.
On fridays and saturdays, it will never be too late for pho as they close at 4am!!!!!!
