Melbourne Bites # 6: Soup Pho the Soul

This is one thing that I look forward to on every visit to Melbourne. A piping hot bowl of pho in an aromatic beef broth that ever fails to put a smile on my face. The key to a good bowl of pho literally boils down to one thing – freshness. From the slippery rice noodles to the accompanying beef and offal and even down to the beansprouts and herbs (typically purple basil and Vietnamese mint) served as accompaniments. Of course the clear broth brings everything together – you’ll know it when you taste it.

With its large Vietnamese population, Melbourne serves up some of the best pho I’ve ever tasted. Pop by Pho Chu The in Richmond to feed your stomach as well as your soul.
