Tucked
in an alleyway off Taipei's bustling ZhongXiao
East Road, you'll find Pho Hoa Vietnamese Noodle
Soup Restaurant. This small, traditional, Vietnamese
restaurant chain is already quite famous overseas,
and is in its fourth year at its present location.
Pho Hua's popularity overseas has been instrumental
to its success in Taiwan. According to Chang Zeh-ren,
a senior waiter here, 60 percent of the patrons coming
to this branch have already tried Pho Hua's dishes
at a branch in another country. Their most famous
dish is called the Chef d'oeuvre Pho (NT$150).
This is a hardy rice noodle soup combining Pho Hoa's
most popular ingredients--steak, chicken, meatballs,
tripe, fatty flank, and bean sprouts--immersed in
the unique bone soup which the owner claims to be
the secret to their success. It's a large serving
by any standard. For those with lesser appetites,
the single ingredient noodle soups such as the Steak
Pho or the Tendon Pho are a tasty alternative. You
can add as many ingredients to your noodle soup as
you desire. Also, Pho Hoa's Crispy Spring Rolls (NT$80)
are a must try. Finally, the traditional Vietnamese
Coffee (NT$50) makes your Vietnamese dining experience
more complete. --By Wendy Su |
