• My first taste of Phở

After having thoroughly enjoying the diep rolls at Hum Vegetarian (also in Ho Chi Minh) I gave the rolls at Huong Sen a go but unfortunately the Asian Basil overpowered all of the other flavours in the roll and they weren't to my liking. I also had my first taste of the Vietnamese staple, pho, which came with all the traditional trimmings lime, chili and (a lot of!) Asian basil leaves. The pho itself had lots of mushrooms and tofu but the broth was a little bland. I also enjoyed fresh coconut juice and it was nice to be given a small spoon to be able to scoop out the flesh and use all of the coconut. Huong Sen is a quiet, clean and modern restaurant but make sure you brush up on your Vietnamese before going as when we were there, there were no English speaking staff. Although my meal wasn't amazing I would definitely go back to try something else on the menu.
