vietnamese food !!

people who knows me knows my love for vietnamese food! Pho, spring rolls and pork roll!

Favourite place for pho in syd: an restaurant bankstown, their beef soup base is dark brown color (see pic?)

Hong Kong has good viet food but the pho is not even comparable... this is a reason why i miss syd so much!
