The first time we followed his friend to his house in Gia Lai province, we had to take a bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Pleiku City, and then take another bus to go back to your home district.
Over 5:30, the bus dropped us off at Pleiku bus station in the cold of the early morning of the Central Highlands. At eight o’clock, the bus goes back to your small home district, and she asks: “To avoid waiting fatigue, I will take you to enjoy Gia Lai specialties right away and always”.
She called a motorbike taxi to take them to Hong dry pho restaurant on Nguyen Van Troi street, Pleiku city. It’s not yet morning, but the shop already has many customers. Sitting down at the table, she calls “2 special bowls”. When the staff brought up the food, I was surprised to see that with the “2 bowls” that she ordered, they carried 4 bowls, 2 dishes, 2 cups, not to mention the extra cup of chopped chili. She looked at me and laughed: “Surprised what? Dry pho here, can call 1 2 you”. It turned out that, 1 part of dry pho consists of 1 bowl of dry pho, 1 bowl of broth, 1 cup of black soy sauce, in addition to a plate of bean sprouts, a plate of raw vegetables. 
Looking at the dry noodle that looks like a noodle thread, with the owner of the shop standing next to it, I asked him happily to explain: “It looks like noodles, it’s not noodles. Dried pho is made entirely of rice flour, the rice is washed, soaked, crushed, then rinsed into a cake and cut into yarn. stick together “. Seeing me nodding to show understanding, he added: “Ordering dry pho always has to wait longer than traditional pho, because we have to let the noodles dry a little after boiling water to reach the level. Chewy fit, delicious food “. At this point, the fragrant scent of the bowl of steaming soup made me salivate. Your small turn instructs: “Soup is stewed broth. Dry chicken, the chicken is shredded to separate, but I ordered a special bowl so the chicken is shredded into the pho bowl, and the broth has beef in it. Well, there are minced pork mixed in a bowl of dry pho. ” According to your child’s instructions, I dropped the price, cut the herbs and put them in a bowl of dry pho, mixed with black soy sauce to taste. Pick up a piece of pho, feel the delicious taste of fresh vegetables, the toughness of the noodle, the greasy taste of fat and minced pork, then take a spoonful of sweet broth. What a miracle the wonderful combination of lumpy beef, sweet shredded chicken meat and greasy minced pork with a rich taste of black soy sauce – it is said that it is cooked very well and is a characteristic taste of individual shop. I passionately enjoy the special pho from the Central Highlands, still crave it, but can’t eat more because it is too full, because the bowl of dry pho is not small and the bowl of soup is not small. Years later, I have many more times to come to Gia Lai, both for work and to go out, but not once did I come to Gia Lai without enjoying this delicious rustic food.
