#i’ve heard some ppl say that it tastes medicinal?? no idea what they’re tasting maybe they’re just not used to those types of spices

makes me sad when ppl (esp other viet ppl!) say that pho is overrated 😞 okay yes, i think there are definitely other meals that deserve the overseas recognition just as much if not more, like bun bo hue or banh xeo, and i have no idea why pho, the dish whose broth takes 6hr AT LEAST to make, was the one to hit the mainstream, but i don’t think that makes it overrated either. it’s cozy, it’s warming, it’s simple yet complex, it’s like chicken noodle soup on a sick day if chicken noodle soup could also give you a kiss on the forehead…

i can’t think of a dish that says “i love you” more than pho, you guys don’t deserve her.
