Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
The bowl is served dry-style, topped with fried shallots, garlic, scallions, pork and shrimp, with broth on the side, a dish of chili sauce and a plate of lettuce and bean sprouts.
Hủ tiếu Mỹ Tho hits the spot every time, Roger wrote, and he went for the larger bowl after a busy day. He had posted it in June and November 2012 as well, and the June 2012 post carries the same Pho King tag as this one.
