Episode Phở: A New Hope

A long time ago, in a galaxy Phở,
Phở away....

This is my first attempt at a blog and as you can see, I am trying to have as many puns about Phở as possible. In the next few weeks I will begin writing my reviews of what I deem to be "Phở-king" awesome Phở restaurants in and around Melbourne, Australia and wherever else I happen to be. I will grade the Phở on various criteria such as the broth (its flavour as well as clarity of stock), the condiments or garnishes (e.g. Hoisin sauce, chilli sauce, bean shoots, basil, lemon, fresh chilli etc) and the basic ingredients (i.e. the noodles, the meat/protein toppings) as well as the experience on a whole and any other additional lovelies!!

This is going to be a huge project with much sacrifice on my behalf. I may even lose friends and family members as a result of this endeavour but it will be worth it. I promise to be as objective as possible when assessing each restaurant and my opinion will not be bought or swayed by anything other than the merit and purity of the Phở itself.

In writing this blog, I hope to put my much beloved dish at the Phở-front of fine-dining in Australia (if not the world!!) and believe me when I tell you that I am Phở- real!!
