Up to now, there have been a lot of arguments about the history of Pho Vietnam. The most popular one believes that pho Vietnam came out at the beginning of the 20th century. Some people think that pho Vietnam came from Nam Dinh City. Meanwhile, many people insist that pho Vietnam appeared for the first time in Hanoi where this dish made it a golden reputation. In terms of origin, there are two different opinions. The first one believed pho Vietnam originated from a Cantonese food in Guangdong Province, China. The other opinion asserted that it was a successful variant of French beef stew which was combined with Vietnamese traditional herbs. Pho is also believed to be a variant of an old dish called “xáo trâu”. Despite such arguments, pho was widely believed to appear to be a major part of the culinary life of urban people in the French colonial period.
In conclusion, Pho Vietnam is a harmonious harmony combination of features of three different culinary including French, Cantonese, and Vietnamese culinary. And the Vietnamese factor plays the major part. Vietnamese people didn’t create Pho for themselves. However, it’s Vietnamese people that have inherited, modified Pho, and then brought it such a golden reputation all over the world.
2. Pho, Vietnam has inherited & developed the traditional cuisine
At the beginning of the 1950s when the French Colony divided Vietnam into 2 parts, Pho made its way to Saigon in South Vietnam. Then, Pho started to have a lot of variants. Up to now, there are three distinctive pho cultures which shaped by the Vietnamese turbulent history including Phở Bắc (Northern Recipe), Phở Huế (Central Vietnam Recipe), Phở Sài Gòn (Southern Vietnam Recipe). Generally, Pho Bac is characterized by the taste of salty. Pho Bac remains purity and rusticity that reflects the sensibilities of the Hanoian. Meanwhile, the Pho of South Vietnam often tastes sweeter, spicier because the South people prefer sweets sweet. The rice noodle of Pho Saigon is thinner that of Pho Bac. When making its way to the South, Pho became more customizable with the special condiment, variant sauces, and piles of fine herbs and vegetables. Therefore, Pho looks more polished and colorful which is more like the capitalist city is being a rising star.

V. How to eat Pho Vietnam
Pho provides you with an interesting lens to look into Vietnamese cuisine. To enjoy the fullness of the flavor of Pho, Vietnam, you should eat pho like a typical Vietnamese person. To do so, let’s follow all the steps below:
Step 1: Find a food vendor or food stall serving pho.

Step 2: Take a seat and pace yourself.
Such restaurants often extend out to the sidewalk with the small plastic chair and squat tables; therefore, you need to be quick enough to find a comfortable seat
Step 3: Choose what types of Pho to eat.
If you have no idea, let’s have the check on this list:
- Chicken Noodle Soup (Phở Gà): served with chicken meat (brisket) which is shredded, the chicken leg which is sliced.
- Rare Beef Vietnamese Noodle Soup (Phở bò tái): Noodle soup with the slices of rare beef
- Pho tai nam: Noodle soup with slices of both rare beefsteak and beef flank
- Well done Beef Noodle Soup (Pho chin): Noodle soup with slices chewy, tender lean beef brisket
- Meatball Noodle Soup (Pho bo vien): Noodle soup with springy beef meatballs
- Spicy Noodle Soup (Pho cay): Noodle soup with slices of beef meat and a lot of special spicy sauce
- Pho sach bo: traditional noodle soup served with beef tripe
- Seafood Noodle Soup (pho hai san): Noodle soup with many types of seafood such as shrimp and crab
Step 4: Enjoy the bowl of pho like a Vietnamese.
When the service staff brings the noodle to you, get ready by cleaning the chopstick and spoon by tissue and the juice of the kumquat. It sounds weird but almost Vietnamese people do so. Then, squeeze the lime on the spoon, remove all the lime seeds, and sprinkle the lime juice onto your bowl of pho. You also need to add some chopped chili, spicy sauces, and a mixture of garlic and vinegar. You can add some fish sauce to make pho saltier.
Then, hold the chopsticks in one hand, hold the soup spoon in the other hand, then mix the noodle quickly and get ready to enjoy it.
Let’s start enjoying pho with a sip of broth. Then take a deep to feel the sweet, fatty of the broth. Remember to be careful because the broth is very hot and sometimes very spicy if you put too much chili and sauce.
Pho tastes much better when it’s hot so that you should enjoy it immediately. To keep your tongue from being scorched, you should slurp the noodle instead of waiting for it cools down like the Western people often do. The Vietnamese calls slurp “húp”. When slurping, you take the noodle quickly into your mouth and the quick intake of air cools down the noodle rather than stopping and blowing on them. Slurping is sometimes considered as impolite actions because slurping makes some weird and annoying sounds. But you don’t have to worry about it, most of both foreign people and Vietnamese people like slurping. Slurping is the most efficient way to eat foods which are slippery like pho. In addition, by slurping you can eat the noodle before it becomes soggy and over-soft.
