Phở Rumbles
April 4th, 2007
I returned to Pho Dzung in town this week. Mainly because of Millie’s reminder of how good the rare beef Phở is.
The cross section of people that go to these places is wonderful. Everyone is here, particularly in the city, office workers, students, and apparently a large contingent of blogging folk. There’s only one reason to come to Phở Dzung though. It’s not about decor. There is no pretensions to style or elegances. The staff are not there to wait. They are more like traffic wardens. It’s totally about the dish, or variations on it, Phở! They serve a great example of it here, and the large daily crowd slurps it up.
It’s great to watch the different people here, as you have a few cups of weak Chinese tea. Hard to linger though. Eating your soup is all you can do, before you sense it’s time to vacate. Every seat is in demand.
Jeez, I wish I could work out the key for the funny “o” in Phở.

Uh huh…I think there are a fair number of bloggers who frequent this establishment
I just love walking into the place - the first thing you have to do is indicate to the floorstaff at the other end of the store how many seats you need. And it is all done with sign language
Hmm…I am hankering a bowl of rare beef again now !!
