Hangover Remedy
April 7th, 2007
Phở is definitely a magnificent hangover remedy. Sporting a ripper this morning - the noodle unit headed out for Vietnamese noodle soup. We ended up at Phở Dzung again. I’m sure they’re getting sick of me. I could see it in the waiters eyes as he dragged a 25kg sack of Monosodium Glutamate across the dining area floor. Any other establishment may have done this discretely, here it was done with pride. Sorted my hangover that’s for sure!

What about some reviews of vegetarian or seafood noodles?

I thought noodles were vegetarian. Flour, eggs and water or in the case of the type of noodle used in pho just riceflour and water. Where’s the meat?

I’m not too sure what stock is used but the banh canh cua is a delicious crab noodle soup available in some Vietnamese eating establishments. My favourite is at Banh Cuon Thanh Ha in Victoria Street. Short drop noodles in a sweetly tinged gelatinous soup with chunks of crab meat hiding in the bottom. I’m also a big fan of the Hu Tieu style, the thick slightly transparent noodles that come in all manner of stocks. Don’t know if you can get strict vegetarian but you can certainly get Seafood, Hu Tieu Do Bien, in many places.

Whoops forgot that I ate a fantastic miso soup with udon noodles at Nudel Bar last week. It was so perfect it had me aching to lick the bowl, although it did use a fish-based Dashi stock. And last night I had a glass crystal noodle salad at Ants Bistro in Corrs Lane which had me coming back for more. Thick slabs of cold noodle drowned in a spicy peanut sauce made me think of Indonesia but I was definitely in the land of Szechuan cuisine.

Lovely to hear from you Vegequarian. I will be sure to check out the the banh canh cua at Banh Cuon Thanh Ha.
