Women and children can choose a type of fermented tea such as red tea, oriental beauty, white tea rattan, ripe tea (squeezed cake) for daily use.

The unique pho burden is only sold at dawn on Hang Chieu Street first. Of course, people choose Hanoi to eat pho. But which restaurant to eat is another equally important option. Because everyone’s taste is not the same. Moreover, the dining seats are only suitable for one type of customer, but not all. People like to sag a bowl of hot pho in their hands at the sidewalk stalls. These noodle shops do not need a spoon. It is similar to the old pho burden of Tu Long, Mr. Bald … going for a walk from dusk till dawn all over the street. Many passersby suddenly met the burden of pho and swooped in to make a bowl to warm their stomachs. It was just a gift sold by a love cup smaller in capacity than the current rice bowl. Nobody eats pho to fill it. Of course, people choose Hanoi to eat pho. But which restaurant to eat is another equally important option. Because everyone’s taste is not the same.

Nobody eats pho to fill it up … “. Writer Do Phan During the war years, subsidies, pho goods had memorable ups and downs. The first is the disappearance of the night pho. The city evacuated, there are no people to eat at night. And the food policy at that time also prohibited private traders from selling rice-related goods. The permanent private noodle shops also closed one by one. There is only one option left for the townspeople, which is trade pho. Some state-owned food shops in some places open more morning pho in Van Ho, Hang Bai, Ngo Quyen, Hang Buom streets … with the state names according to the store location. Except for My Kinh pho on Hang Buom street, the old name for public and private partnership is still used. For the first time, the street people get acquainted with the bowl of cars selling pho which looks very full and full. If this bowl is scooped out, it must be 3 bowls. Trade pho shops are of course as crowded as any commercial noodle shop. The seats are usually only a granite table and 10 iron welded leg chairs, and the seat surfaces are also made of iron. With a huge number of customers, commercial pho furniture is never enough. Hang Bai pho shop at the corner of Vong Duc often sees customers carrying bowls standing to eat under the nacre trees on the street. Commercial pho bowl is not only expensive because it is full and full in the situation of hunger. It is truly delicious even though the State sells only one type of beef noodle soup. Sometimes when there is no beef, the store still sells pho as usual. People in the street call it “unmanned” pho. Many men blurted out the name “unmanned pho” at the shop, immediately taken to the police station to arrest a fine copy of the page with only one sentence: “Pho without meat, not unmanned pho”. That is to say, how carefully they knew the word that day. Thinking again, at that time, if anyone had put up a signboard “The price station …” like now, he did not know how much to copy the fine? Pho Thin is located in a small alley in Dinh Tien Hoang Street 2. Called trade noodle soup, but still attracts customers because all the pots of broth are made by famous noodle artists. Tu Short, Bac Hai … are veteran experts with high salary, but they only come to cook without giving secrets to anyone. That is why, although it is generally called trade noodle soup, it sells for the same price, but each shop has its own taste. In the early 1970s of the twentieth century, the sprawling private pho stalls reopened in Hanoi. Pho Chau Ky, Pho Mao (Ba Trieu), Pho Tu Dw (Hai Ba Trung), Pho Bald, Pho Vui, Pho Bat Dan, Pho Hang Dong, Pho Bac Hai, Pho Thin, Pho Tu Do … were bustling with customers. in and out. The only pho remaining of the trade was Pho Ly Quoc Su with the staff still in white uniforms. They divided the production team specifically for each part, the slicing team, the meat slicing team, the sales team, but there was no service team. Customers line up by themselves and then bring their pho bowls to the table. The restaurant is generally like a normal house, the furniture is as tight as a wedge. Stools, long tables with a few jars of chili sauce, garlic vinegar, fish sauce, absolutely no tissue. After eating, there are still a few doctors who have the manner of holding the chopsticks horizontally and swiping through their mouth like eating a country house. Writer Do Phan It is called a private noodle shop, but strangely it is almost identical to the previous noodle shop. From tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks to spices on the table. From the raw materials to the processing to the serene, unreserved service. It was like coming from a floor that was always wet and covered with dirt. The famous noodle shops are crowded with customers such as Pho Thin (Lo Duc), Pho Tu Lang, Pho Vui, Pho Bat Dan, Pho Hang Dong … until now. It seems that people not only eat a delicious bowl of pho, but also enjoy the incomplete pho atmosphere. There have been a few new people opening modern pho brands with air-conditioned rooms, pure white tablecloths, curtain sheets and a porcelain dragon guarding the chopsticks. But then completely failed, even high-end pho using Kobe beef, too. Where to eat pho is not just a question of people from far away to Hanoi. The Capitals themselves often have difficulty with that question. With many years of eating pho in Hanoi, everyone has their own restaurants. Where to eat pho is not just a question of people from far away to Hanoi. The Capitals themselves often have difficulty with that question. With many years of eating pho in Hanoi, everyone has their own restaurants. It is very difficult to invite you to eat pho with. Gentle and elegant, you cleverly refuse by complaining about the reason for the wife’s meal. More miserable can tell a lot of weaknesses of the noodle shop that I invite. One of the weaknesses is that the restaurant’s cleaning situation is too elaborate, not messy. We must admit that eating a bowl of beef pho in the air-conditioned room is a worthy invention to win the Ig Nobel Prize …
