We were in Glorietta in early October after attending a trade show at the WTC. I was craving for Vietnamese pho but too tired to walk to Pho Hoa in Greenbelt. I kinda made up my mind to have a sandwich instead when I noticed Pho Bac right beside Subway.
I assumed Pho Hoa was the same as Pho Bac. The moment I tasted the seafood pho, I realized my mistake. The seafood pho was bland and didn't have the fresh flavors of basil and cilantro. The seafood curry was alright but lacked the spiciness I was looking for. We were full but unsatisfied.:-(

That's sad...but at least you now know you won't dine at Pho Bac again. :) The pictures looked great, too bad the taste wasn't as good.
ReplyDeleteoh, too bad it wasn't what you were expecting. i agree with the comment above: your shot looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteappreciate much your sharing and linking over at Food Friday, LM
happy weekend!
Thanks for your review n Pho Bac, I guess Pho Hoa is still the safer bet...
ReplyDeletetempting shots! tried Pho Hoa once and it was a pleasant experience; haven't tried Pho Bac yet, though have been meaning to. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't try any Vietnamese restaurant, I hope I can visit Pho Bac soon! :)
