A rainy Sunday afternoon after a stressful Ikea jaunt; what better to soothe the soul then a savoury, steaming bowl of pho and some crispy spring rolls? We enjoyed our visit to Pho Dzung last time and the final restaurant on the strip to received some pretty strong praise is Pho Chu The. We've walked past and seen the queues so knew it had to be good and decided to try it out to see if it's as good as Pho Dzung.
As usual with the haunts along Victoria Street, decor isn't the priority or focus. Pho Chu The was basic but looked a little more modern than Pho Dzung. They don't offer much beyond bowls of pho. Steve opted for beef and shredded chicken and I went for the beef special.
The broth was hot and deep in flavour and made more special with a squeeze of lemon, some crunchy beansprouts, a swish of the scented basil and for me some chilli. The beef special came with all sorts of beefy stuff and was delicious. Steve enjoyed his bowl too. The spring rolls were tasty delights and I love wrapping them up in some crunchy Iceberg lettuce and dipping it into the sauce they come with. I don't know if I can eat British spring rolls any more....
Was it better than Pho Dzung then? Very little in it. I think this place just gets the edge because we like the tea better. Steve thinks it also has slightly better spring rolls but I think I might have to try some more before I can decide!
