Pho Flinders Express - Flinders Street, Melbourne

Australia has received lots of Vietnamese refugees since the end of the Vietnamese Civil War. Since 1975 refugees left the south in droves and many landed in Australia especially in Footscray. Australian cuisine has since being enriched by dishes deeply flavoured by fish sauces and aromatic and fragrant herbs and spices.

The most famous dish among them were the Pho, rice noodles with beef or for the matter all manners and parts of the cow. I have enjoyed good bowls of Pho in Vietnam over numerous occasions and I was not to be stopped when a friend in Melbourne wanted to treat us Vietnamese food.

This bowl of Pho is authentic and has all the ingredients needed. Aromatic lemongrassy broth steeped for hours in cow and pork bones. Good fresh slices of Australian beef and I ordered my bowl with pieces of yellow cow fat. These are delicacies to those who like animal fat. And yellow fat is the best.

Our sides have to be prawn dim sum and Vietnamese spring roll. The rolls were as they should be after downing hundreds of rolls in Vietnam through the years of visit and work. The prawns dim sum was also great with nice size fresh shrimps accompanying.
