The good thing about Morning Glory is their extensive menu. You can eat all kinds of Vietnamese street food here and also order dishes for a complete meal. I learned something about pho. During the times when it was hard for the Vietnamese people and food was scarce and had to be rationed, mothers had to make do to feed their families. A lot of them boiled roasted beef bones to make the soup so that their families have a hint of "meat" in their meal.
Morning Glory served a fantastic version of it. This cold vermicelli rice bowl is popular all over Vietnam except in Hanoi where they have a slightly different version called Bun Cha.
I must say Morning Glory's version was it was underwhelming. I had high hopes and was tad disappointed. Thankfully, my next bowl in the local market at Ms Ha's was really good.
Tossed with the right amount of dressing and topped with shrimp, dried coconut flesh, toasted sesame, shallots and herbs, it was so refreshing. Had to resist hoarding the whole dish to myself
One of the things I love about Vietnamese cuisine is the salads. With the abundance of fresh herbs and their amazing dressings, it's the perfect starter for any meal, especially for hot, balmy June evenings. We started our dinner with beef salad which was amazing.
It's interesting to note so many similarities with Chinese cuisine.
