- Beef pho is an iconic dish in Vietnamese cuisine, a product of the culinary culture influenced by the French colonial era in the 19th century. It is the result of the fusion of French stew techniques with Chinese rice noodles. In terms of preparation, beef broth simmered for a long time is combined with rice noodles, topped with thinly sliced beef, and garnished with fresh bean sprouts and herbs. At Tan Son Nhat International Airport, you can enjoy pho that balances authentic Vietnamese flavor with convenience. Furthermore, pho is known as a meal that boosts the morale of Vietnamese military soldiers, and it's understandable why the locals refer to it as a power food. While pondering this cultural background, the author of the gourmet blog seems so enamored with the deliciousness of pho that they almost call the dish "Xaipo", as if they've awakened to something grand beyond just "pho". Perhaps they don't need to be that moved?
