Pholicious!
My daughter made pho (pronounced fuh) and my wife shared it with her Vietnamese co-worker who thought it was great. She would make it, too. The original ingredients called for stewing a beef bone to make the stock, but my wife’s Vietnamese friend admitted to cheating and buying the beef stock in a carton.

Bindae-tteok and Pajeon are among the very few Korean things that I never liked.

It’s easy. Getting your hip back is not easy! I broke mine last July.
Ouch! I’m sorry to hear about that. I hope you are well on the mend, and that it never happens to you again!
There’s a new soul food-Vietnamese fusion place in town. It’s called Mo Pho;)
When I first went back to Việt Nam in ‘03 I determined to eat anything that was put in front of me. There were some, to me, strange dishes like birds and geckos but I found the only thing I did not like and would not eat again were duck eggs. They are served like soft boiled chicken eggs and I suppose would not be to different except that they are taken at a later stage of development- beaks and feathers. Duck eggs seem to be common delicacies throughout East Asia- balut in the Phillipines. Three families gave me goodbye dinners before I left and all included the duck eggs. Knowing that they had payed perhaps a month’s income to do these feasts, I ate them but when I went back again I made sure to let everyone know that I am not compatible with trứng vịt- duck eggs.
