Mai’s List of Pho

Because I can’t make a post out of each and every single bowl of pho I’ve eaten, I’ll make a post about all bowls of pho I’ve eaten.
A perfect score (20/20) means “good noodle (4), good broth (4), good meat (4), big portion (2), low price (2), fast service (2), nice/modern setting (2)”. One bonus point for interesting things. The veggies are not taken into account because: 1. I don’t put veggies in my pho and 2. for the bowls I’ve eaten too long ago, I can’t remember what the veggie plate was like.

By “nice/modern setting”, I mean it’s not plastic-chair casual food court kind of place, the decor, spacing and lighting obviously have an effect.

  2. I have been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty value enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before. “Revolution is not a onetime event.” by Audre Lorde.

  6. In this great scheme of things you actually get an A+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you actually lost us was first in the facts. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be more accurate in this article. Having said that, let me tell you precisely what did deliver the results. The text is highly persuasive and that is most likely the reason why I am making the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, whilst I can easily see the leaps in logic you make, I am not convinced of how you seem to unite the ideas which in turn help to make your conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but hope in the near future you actually connect the facts better.
