Vietnamese PHO breaks into global list of 20 best soups

 

CNN has included PHO BO (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) in its list of 20 best soups in the world along with China’s Lanzhou equivalent and Thailand’s Tom yum goong.

         Pho Thin - One of the best Pho Bo in Hanoi

 
"Broth is simmered for hours with cinnamon, star anise and other warm spices to create a wonderfully aromatic base for this rice noodle soup," American news channel CNN said of pho.

CNN said by 1930, the soup was served with slices of raw beef cooked gently in the broth and today pho bo remains the most beloved version in Vietnam, with options that include the original raw beef, a mix of raw and cooked beef, brisket and tendon.

Pho is made and served across the country though it originated in Hanoi and was taken to the south, where people added their own touches. The noodle soup has been getting rave reviews from global travel magazines for decades.

A bowl of pho bo in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi cost from VND30,000 to 50,000 ($1.32-2.20).

In HCMC, tourists can try a bowl of pho at famous restaurants like Hoa, Phu Vuong or Le while Bat Dan, Thin, Ly Quoc Su are the most popular addresses in Hanoi for original flavors.

The CNN list also includes French Bouillabaisse, Spanish Gazpacho, American Gumbo, Myanmar's Mohinga, Japanese Tonkotsu ramen and Soto ayam from Indonesia.

Now luxury hotels and resorts are building ( some of them are running ) in Quy   Nhon Beach and in other beaches nearby. Theses will bring more choices for tourists to stay in the future
 

 3. Con Dao Beach Island

                                                                          Con Dao Beach
Con Dao’s turquoise waters sparkle like a jewel, and they’re best enjoyed from one of the island’s many beautiful beaches. Some are ideal for vegging out while others require an adventurous hike. One thing’s for sure: it will never be crowded. Here’s a rundown of all the island’s noteworthy beaches.
Unless you’re staying at Six Senses Con Dao, you’ll be staying in Con Son town and luckily you don’t have to go far for a dip. The town sits on prime oceanfront real estate and you can swim anywhere in this area. It’s certainly not Con Son’s best beach but it is easy walking distance and remember you can stroll through any of the beachfront resorts to find a patch of sand.
Walk north on the beach or take a quick ride along the coastal road (Nguyen Van Cu) to reach Lo Voi Beach (Bai Lo Voi). The white sand is vast, flat and empty, and relatively rubbish free. During low tide, the water can recede as far as a kilometre – you almost feel as if you could walk to one of the outer islands. Gentle shallow waters make this a lovely spot to visit.
An Hoi Beach is south of town, on the coast near Chua Van Son Pagoda. When we visited it was full of rubbish.

 Dam Trau Beach (Bai Dam Trau) is undeniably the island’s best. Clean soft sand and glittering turquoise water broadly stretches out, flanked on either side with rocky green hills. You can easily spend a whole day on your trip lazing here. This beach is directly underneath the airplane landing flight path so watching the propeller planes glide in provides a few seconds of entertainment. Thankfully reggae beats or Vietnamese pop music have not invaded here; it is usually blissfully quiet. And because it is on the west coast and naturally protected, Dam Trau is swimmable even during the windy months of November to February.
To get to Dam Trau, nearing the airport turn left at the blue sign “Mieu Cau 700m”. Follow the sandy trail. If you’ve never ridden a motorbike on sand before, it does require finesse, light steady pressure on the gas and balance. We witnessed one couple take a spill here. Not pretty. If you’re uncomfortable, park the bike anywhere on the side and walk.
 

 4. Doc Let Beach Nha Trang

                                                                    Doc Let Beach
Fifty kilometres north of Nha Trang lies Doc Let, a quiet Eden of palm-fringed, powdery white sand, sparkling azure waters and a sleepy disposition. Despite its resounding beauty, relatively few people venture here and the beach still feels low-key, natural and wild. Warm blue sea, hot white sand, bright sun and plenty palm trees can make anyone take his mind off all routine fuss and enjoy laidback relax.
 The coastal strip is about 6 kilometers in length. The water deepens very slowly, so bathing close to the shore is quite safe even for children. There is no great number of tourists, the key guests of the beach are married couples and honeymooners. You can walk along the coast for a long time and meet no one. Doc Let Beach is an ideal place for a romantic date for two – sunsets are wonderful here.
 

 5. Lang Co Beach in Hue

                                                                  Lang Co Beach
The beach is located along the side of National Highway No.1A Lang Co commune, Phu Loc district, Thua Thien Hue.  It is about 70 kms from Hue City, 24 kms from Hai Van Pass and Bach Ma Mountain.  Lang Co gathers various tourism resources such as: coast, sand-bank, lake, lagoon, spring, mountain, Hai Van pass, Bach Ma old-grow forest and historical relic… will create the diversify tourism products.
