Vietnam's pho the greatest culinary gift to the world, says Australia’s tourism website

Vietnam's famous food pho is a fragrant, subtly powerful dish that's even greater than the sum of its considerable parts. Its broth is a gently simmered stock of beef bones with onion, ginger and spices; it arrives pooled around banh pho, or flat rice noodles, and rare beef slices, topped with bean sprouts, fresh herbs, lemon and chilli. - Vietnam News/ANN
