Pho Yummee in Hong Kong

During the last leg of our  Hong Kong trip, we caught the old tram up to the Peak.

Our wanderings lead us to Pho Yummee, hidden away in the Peak Galleria Shopping Centre.

Again, the pho did not taste like real pho (which confirms my belief that when travelling you probably should just stick to trying local cuisine, rather than foreign cuisine - but I just couldn't resist!), but to the restaurant's credit, it seemed like they had put more effort into brewing this broth which was quite clear and tasty.

The highlights for us, however, were the other Vietnamese dishes that we had ordered - Ca-Ri Ga (chicken lemongrass curry with potatoes and baguette) and rice paper rolls.

The food was light and fresh and the staff were super friendly.

Vietnamese cuisine...in Hong Kong!

On my first day in central Hong Kong, I stumbled across a cute little Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Tai. With a name like that, I thought that their pho would be something special.

Unfortunately, the broth tasted nothing like pho. Having said that, if I was reviewing Hu Tieu, I'd be giving it a big thumbs up! It seemed like the chef did not feel like cooking up proper pho broth that day and just used the Hu Tieu broth!

Despite the disappointing lunch, I'm glad I came across this place because I found an awesome cheongsam shop next door!
