Cabramatta is not too far to go for pho…
I finally made it to Cabramatta the other day, for the express purpose of eating pho. When I get round to going to Vietnam it’ll probably be for the same reason, and I’m not being the least bit facetious.
Walking along John Street in Cabramatta is like being in a mini-version of Asia somewhere. You can peruse vegetable stores filled with fragrant Asian herbs, Vietnamese music stores with the latest in Asian MTV and buy a sugarcane drink on the way. It’s rather nostalgic.
We wandered in and were served by an harried looking guy who continued to speak to us in Chinese although we replied in English. But that’s all inconsequential.
This is the best pho I’ve had in Sydney. My pho tai was packed with tender wafer thin slices of beef and slippery noodles swimming in sweet fragrant broth. With a handful of mint, smattering of chilli and squeeze of lemon it was absolutely glorious. J’s pho with brisket was great as well, with the brisket being tender and well flavoured. Simple food at it’s best.
