Unlike in Malaysia, where the only thing to ponder about the weather is whether it will rain or not, Melbourne springs more surprises than that. Despite entering Spring for a whole month, it has been chilly and warm weather is still a rarity. So much as i like the cold, sometimes i just want to feel the warmth and it doesn't help that my in-built heater can only go to a high of 30 degrees which takes forever to achieve.
The next best thing is to eat to fill warm and it means lots of hot soup and one place i like to go to is Pho Dzung for some warm pho.
The norm is usually to go to Mekong, the establishment that probably bought Pho to Melbourne, the place still reeks of the 80s-90s but the over the years, i think the pho has just gone down hill. So it was pretty lucky for me to find another one just a street away and this has been my firm favourite.
Huge portions, tasty and keeps you warm, what more can you ask for?
To eat list this week if it gets terribly cold again.
Small portions are like AUD 8.50 and it goes up by a dollar for every size up. Value for money.

Verdict: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. I am not sure whether i would still be so attracted to the idea of eating Pho if it was summer but for the mean time, this is like a weekly treat if i need something warm.
