This post is a shout out to my aunt, Ut Hang, who told me to eat at Pho 91 when I'm in My Tho. And of course me, being one to always listen to my elders, I did. From her food memories (of which she has many!), Pho 91 was the spot in My Tho to slurp down a good bowl of pho.
Were her food memories correct or only exaggerated to match her intense nostalgia for the motherland?
Ever since I ate at Pho Le (of which I wrote a rave review for in a previous post), no other bowl of pho compares. But, it was still good. The broth was sweet. The only setback was the meat, which was a bit too tough for my taste. Overall, a pretty delicious bowl of pho. Back in the States, this place would be ranked a 9 out of 10. But here, with so many options and a good pho joint a stone's throw away, it is considered average. But, I am not really from here and come with an American longing for delicious pho restaurants, so I will give it an 8.
You were right then Ut! Thank you for the recommendation!
