Out on a mission, looking for a shelving unit to fit in our compact computer room. We came up empty. It was a cold, icy, slushy kinda day, my feet were cold and wet. What better way to warm yourself up than a big bowl of Phở.
Until a few years ago, I had no idea about Phở, now I can't go very long without it! We've made it at home and it's pretty good, but there's just that little extra "something" that goes in a bowl of Phở from from Phở Hoang Minh, Wyse Rd., Dartmouth.
We order the same thing every time we visit, #2 and #9, x 2.
The #2 is a rice paper roll with pork, shrimp, bean sprouts and vermicelli noodles, served with peanut sauce. We've made these at home as well and they're just as fun to make as they are to eat. There's also a veggie and just pork option.
The #9 is the beef Phở, made by slow cooking beef bones and adding herbs and seasonings. The broth is then served over rice noodles with thinly sliced beef added on top. There are many variations to Phở. Chicken, veggie, and even seafood can be some of them. At Phở Hoang Minh, there's just the three beef selections, sliced beef, meatball, and a combo also with flank.
Phở is served with a side plate garnished with bean sprouts, Thai basil (not the same as the basil regularly found at a Superstore or Sobey's), lime and sometimes a hot chilli pepper. I love adding the lime and Thai basil. There's also a bottle of hot sauce and hoisin sauce available, I add a bit of each.
As amazing as the Phở is, I can never make it through the entire bowl! There's just so much food and broth. It's a great meal for warming you up or making you feel better.
Gary gives his Phở a thumbs up! You can just see the size of the bowl, this ain't your regular sized soup bowl!
Although there are many great places to enjoy a bowl of Phở in the HRM, this is my personal favorite.
Just as you come off the Macdonald Bridge, take a left on Wyse and it's in the little strip mall just a little way down on the right.
If you're planning on bringing a friend who's just a little less adventurous, there's also a few other Vietnamese selections and a nice selection of Chinese food dishes including a lot of combination plates.
The bill.
#2 - $2.25 x 2
#9 - $8.50 x 2
pop x 2
Bill came to approx $28, Not bad for a great meal that fills you up!
Happy Eating!
