Is there anything better to... «A Cook's Tour»
east_villager25 сентября 2012Is there anything better to eat on this planet than a properly made bowl of pho? I don't know. Precious few things can approach it. It's got it all. A bowl of clear hot liquid, loaded with shreds of fresh, white and pink crabmeat, and noodles is handed to me, garnished with bean sprouts and chopped fresh cilantro. A little plate of condiment comes next: a few wedges of lime, some ground black pepper, a dish of nuoc mam, a dish of chili fish oil, some chopped red chili peppers. The pho is fantastic - spicy, hot, complex refined, yet unbelievably simple. The astounding freshness of the ingredients, the brightly contrasting textures and colors, the surprising sophistication of the presentation - the whole experience is overwhelmingly perfect.
