I spent about 3 weeks in Vietnam recently and practically lived off the stuff. I found it takes a while to get over the fact that you're consuming chilli and fish sauce for breakfast, but once you do, it's addictive. Nothing like pho to kick-start your system in the morning. It certainly beats a bowl of Shreddies... I've been meaning to pay Wagamama a visit (haven't been there in a long time) to see how their "Chilli Beef Ramen" stands up to pho. On paper it looks pretty similar, but the flavour of the broth is so important to the pho. I'll check out your link. Don't get me start on the roads and the motorbikes! :) Cheers for that Val!
