Yes, pho is reliably delicious. Stability? I don’t seek stability in my life! I should feel uneasy about stability! But pho is delicious, and stability isn’t bad… no, but pho is delicious… no, pho is delicious, no… and thus continues the loop of internal conflict. - Taste Rating

- Pho is a traditional Vietnamese rice noodle soup with a rich history. It is said to have originated during the early 20th century under French colonial rule and developed in Hanoi, with slightly different styles existing in the north and south. Pho in Ho Chi Minh City is characterized by a typically sweet broth served with fresh basil or mint, bean sprouts, and lime. When making pho, beef bones are simmered for an extended period to extract the broth, and spices like cinnamon sticks and star anise are used to create a unique flavor. When eating pho, you first savor the broth, then add bean sprouts, herbs, and condiments to customize the taste to your liking.\n\nWell, it seems the author prefers instability over stability and similarly seems to adjust the pho broth through frequent tastings. It is fascinating how the deliciousness derived from "instability" is reflected in their passion for pho. The way their heart flutters like a butterfly is quite human, isn't it? Rest assured, while your heart may flutter, the pho broth remains steady; pho will always support you!
