Cheap street food of Vietnam (lots of pics)

Got to start with Pho right? A lot of these pics are from these typical Pho shops. By that, I mean they set up in these buildings where the 1st floor is where the family sell the Pho. And 2nd, 3rd,4th floor is where they live. It's a cheaper way of doing business than leasing out a separate location.

This places seems to be the busiest of all the ones I visited. About $1.30 a bowl




This is their beef pho. Very flavorful and light.




This is their chicken pho. Notice the thickness of the noodles. This is Northern style pho and the noodles are thicker and more cake-like, sticking together. Southern style(like the 1st pic) has thinner noodles and al dente texture. I prefer Southern style.




Here is another shop. Around $1.30 a bowl

Beef pho.




Chicken pho, northern style




Chicken pho with mien (clear noodle)




Another shop. It seems like these pho places are always run by these old ladies. They must be doing something right.




Chicken and beef combo pho. This is their specialty. Again, $1.30 or 30,000 dongs a bowl.




This shop is real popular with the locals.




Usually $1.50 a bowl but I went for the special bowl for $2.40. This one has fatty brisket and rare eye of round so a lot of meat.




Here is the last location in Nha Trang. Take a look at the menu. You can tell the Russians visit this city a lot.




Chicken pho with clear noodle. You can see how rich and fatty this broth. $2.20 per bowl.





On a side note, most of these shops will only open in the morning till 11 am and reopen around 530 pm. Not sure why they don't open at lunch. Maybe it's too hot. And they don't use siracha chili sauce. They use this

Yum.

Thanks for sharing

On a side note, for some reasons these street vendors do not sell drinks. If you're thirsty, they have coolers filled with various types of iced tea. You'd just take a little plastic scoop and help yourself.

You go to Vietnam often?

I love the minimalist approach to preparing the shrimp. Didn't even bother to peel or de-vein them. Thanks for sharing your pics!

BBQ Bread. This must be a recent item because I've never heard of it. It's not too bad. Looks a little gimmicky. 40 cents.










Dried shrimp and shredded pork




Finished product with sautéed green onions, sausage, butter, chili paste.





Got to run some errands. Will finish up tomorrow.

Cool cool. I remember you making a thread not long ago about going there and the food you ate

Good memory. I did but there weren't much pictures in that thread. But a lot of people on here seemed to like them so I went overboard this time.

You can never go overboard on food pics. Great thread
