illo017Phong Son - CNR Swanston & Lonsdale Streets

It was good to drink some Chinese tea late in the afternoon. It was after the lunch rush, so I had some space to let my mind wonder… and then my pho arrived 15 seconds later.

It was ok. I felt it was a little watered down. I had to pad it out with Hosin sauce. Not really up to Mekong standards. There was lots of other stuff on the menu though, so I don’t suppose they were pretending it was their specialty. The chairs were really ugly, but the people were friendly.

Afterwards, I went for a scout around town looking for future lunch locations. I’m going to try to get to a couple of chinese noodle places up on Russell Street. One of them has the brazen title, Noodle King. We’ll see about that hey!
