GOOD FOOD GOOD MOOD: Pho Hung Vuong

ABOUT GFGM

gastronomy

ɡaˈstrɒnəmi/

noun

the practice or art of choosing, cooking, and eating good food.

Good Food, Good Mood was established after I realised how often I was asking myself the difficult question of "Where and what should we eat today?". The Melbourne food scene truly makes us spoilt for choice, so I am hoping my honest reviews can act as a guide for any occasion - from cheap eats to fine dining, to burgers and pizza on cheat days, to fresh and healthy on cutting days. Recommendations on places to try and review are always welcome, just leave a comment.

All photos are taken with my Samsung Note 4 or Sony NEX-F3 unless stated otherwise. Thanks for dropping by!

P.S. Shoutout to my friends and family who dine with me - thanks for not picking up your cutlery when the food comes out so I can take all my food photos... y'all know my camera eats first haha.

Everybody loves phở. There ain't no denying.
Vietnam didn't produce multitudes of "I love phở" teeshirts for nothing...

There is no second doubt when I say that my madre makes the best pho (because she gives me a lot of beef balls and does not use MSG). However, there is a secret to eating pho that is just as good as Mumma Chau's. This pho shop belongs to my best friend and her family, and it is located in the heart of Springvale. What is this place called? Pho Hung Vuong Saigon.

You read correctly, my best friend owns dat pho shop PHO HUNG VUONG in Springvale. There is no Asian place (apart from Hoa Tran) that offers fantastic and speedy customer service. The chefs have created a delicious soup, served with a good portion of meat. Some pho restaurants in Footscray and the CBD leave me feeling thirsty an hour later. The MSG really does do evil things. The soup from PHV is of perfect flavour, and no, I am not being bias. I have heard from several others that it is the best pho in Springvale, even some have deemed it to be the best in Melbourne. The hot waitresses (yes I'm looking at u, bestie) are an incentive to visiting. The following images are only a few of the sweet tasting memories that were created at Pho Hung Vuong Saigon.
