Pho exported:
Meet the "time, the time must be!", Pho followed the Vietnamese people boarded the boat crossed the sea, engaged in the scene of the ten thousand miles away. Pho spilled over to live in District 13 of the capital of Paris. Three months in France in 1992, I was treated to "pho Vietnamese French".
The price is quite expensive, up to 30 Quan / bowl (French currency - about 6 USD), just eat the intestinal meridians by poor quality with dry noodles, fried beef cut out and broth, ... What's with the flavor in home.
After this time to open the door, the Vietnamese community on one more, with the addition of Vietnam Airlines, the quality of "Pho Vietnamese French" has improved much with fresh noodles, not like before
Pho also transcends the Pacific Ocean to the United States of America and selects Orange County, California to settle in the Vietnamese community. Even a "Sai Gon" migrated to the US without pho is irrational.
When going to the United States, pho Viet size "terror", eat the "stomach" America! In today's Vietnamese pho restaurants, there are three sizes of noodle bowls: small bowls, bowls and bowls (as defined in the Vietnamese Explanatory Notes, the bowl bowl must be called a "bowl of pho" ).
The magic of pho gradually spread to the American community. Not only Vietnamese cook noodles but also Americans also open pho restaurant.
In 1990, an American chef named Didi Emmons opened his own noodle shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and quickly spread to many states.
Pho is available in many places around the world: UK, Canada, Australia, pho in Sapa market in Prague, Czech Republic, Warsaw, Poland. Pho is present in Dom 5, Moscow, pho in the country of Vientiane, Laos, pho to Phnom Penh, the country of Apsara - great Angkor.
Come to the origin of kimchi, pho has a strange attractiveness, Koreans love pho so many people open noodle shop, dare to compete with even "the owner" Vietnamese, set up the phenomenon of "Korean pho Vietnamese origin". .
"Pho Viet Road" goes on and on all over the planet: Where there are Vietnamese, there are pho! It is not overwhelming at all! There is a young fellow in Quang Ninh who likes to go fishing in four tanks, has set up a price map pho Vietnamese in the past he has eaten noodles.
The results are amazing: Pho Viet is present in 45 countries in the world!

Pho ... Changsha
In May, 2013, in the breezy atmosphere of the South China Sea, Truong Sa is the destination of many hearts, Vietnamese minds ... and Vietnamese noodles are not absent from the headwaters.
Three generations of Vu Ngoc Vuong practice Pho since the early days of pho, when the French occupied Hanoi (1920).
As Pham Thanh Nam, they all opened Pho restaurant so much that Vuong did not remember the number of cousins who owned Pho restaurants in Ha Noi.
Vu Ngoc Vuong had a remarkable career record when she was awarded the first Pho Noodle Recipes Competition by the ACCOR Group and the Sofitel Metropole Hotel in 2006. Pho Vuong was honored to be chosen to serve two weeks for APEC 14th. Hanoi (2006).
However, he said that the most pride for his noodles sales is the trip over the waves to the Truong Sa, to manually cook 1,000 bowls of pho to the soldiers are gunmen in the fire burn.
Truong Sa in those days is a great challenge for Vuong. Many ingredients such as: herbs, onions, ginger, chilli ... and other spices are packed in Hanoi, transferred by plane to Ho Chi Minh City.
On the military ship to the island, Vuong is a special priority passenger: he has to ... 30 packages!
Not far away, cooking on three islands: Son Ca, Nam Yen, Truong Sa Lon is a challenging career. Each bowl of pho has dozens of spices that require a careful preparation.
A three-day cruise is not easy at sea. Vomitted waves, vomiting to bile green honey, not dare to eat just lying in the cabin to get drunk. Try to make a few porridge and a few sweet potatoes to hold. Rump like a leaf ship.
Still, when the boat approached Son Ca island, the strength of the occupants came to lift Vuong up to climb the island in the role of "conductor" commanding naval soldiers cook noodles. He performs the main steps, the remaining work by the auxiliary soldiers.
"My pho in Hanoi at the most serves only about 80 people, but for over an hour, I cook more than 200 bowls of pho in Hanoi serving the soldiers of Son Ca island."
The following day, Vuong continued to distribute the Hanoi pho on Nam Island, Truong Sa Lon, a total of more than 1,000 bowls of pho. Many soldiers finished eating craving: "Phở Hanoi delicious food as if eating more bowls".
And Vuong tried to please them: in May 2017, he again rides waves carrying 2,000 pho Hanoi to Changsha.
