Co Do is my new favorite place on Victoria Street. After missing my opportunity to have Bun Mam in St Albans the other day, I was determined to discover it when I was down on Victoria street recently. I found it in Co Do’s menu and stepped inside. The waiter made the point twice, that Bun Mam is very smelly. Well, what do you expect from a brew made of preserved salted fish.

It really was yummy, fishy and pungent! Rice noodles in a bowl of steamy, fishy, pungentness. I loaded it up with lettuce, bean sprouts and chilli. Floating in the broth was heap of sliced pork, some fish, squid and a prawn.

The noodles were similar to that of Bun Bo Hue. When I paid, the owner told me that his family was from Hue. Oh regrets, again. I should have had their chilli beef noodle soup. I’m going to start to have 2 bowls of soup per meal.

    Love Co Do as well. I ventured there for the first time last year, and had a great meal and experience.
