Phở
Phở is a traditional Vietnamese soup, topped with beef or chicken and garnished with basil, spring onion, mint, sawtooth herbs, and some add-ons: Black bean sauce, chilli sauce, fish sauce, lime, etc… It takes hours, even a whole day, to perfect the taste of Phở, but only 5 – 10 minutes to eat and even faster to order again!
So what does it take to find a good Phở in Wellington? It took years of dining out and tons of dirty dishes before I finally found Nam Restaurant, a tried-and-true place for Phở, the best Phở in years!

Back home, though different regions have different kinds of Phở, here in Wellington, it doesn’t matter at all, a good Phở is a good Phở! Phở is not just a national cuisine, it’s a taste of home and is enjoyed by people everywhere, including babies, and yes even babies eat Phở sometimes.
