Shared a big bowl of pho ga (115k VND) with my fiancee.
The soup is interesting with sour, salty, spicy flavours. There was also a hint of sweetness (though that might be MSG).

The casher had an argument with someone and was ready to make a scene using foal language. We ended up paying 100vnd for a bowl of pho, which is way too expensive compared to other street vendor with...
