We are off the west side of Sydney today for some good Pho at Pho Pasteur just right next to the train station.  To me, growing up in Melbourne, a good Pho restaurant has to have that unique smell. As soon as I stepped into the spacious eatery. I could already smell the herb aroma, as well as the sweet and sour taste from the fish sauce, spicy chilli sauce and much more.  Grilled Pork Rice Paper Roll (AUD $7) The menu is pretty basic with a few variety of Pho, appetisers, and rice dishes. We have tried a few of their classics for our first visit. Their rice paper rolls are fresh as you can tell from the slightly sticky thin transparent paper roll. The grilled pork is really smokey but not too overwhelming because the rice noodles as well as the herbs inside the rolls are super fresh too.  Their housemade sauce is pretty awesome because it's not just a simple peanut sauce, but it's rather sweet, and slightly savoury. A perfect compliment to any rice paper rolls.  Pho Tai (AUD $11.50 for Medium $13 for Large)  This is the Large size and the whole Pho bowl is covered with some rare beef slices. The first sip of the broth is gold! The intense beef stock flavour is flavourful but light at the same time. The only thing I wish they can improve would be the tempreture of the soup as I was expecting a bowl of boiling hot soup.  Then I liked to add every toppings into my Pho bowl for extra crunch from the beanshoot, extra sourness from the lime and extra spiciness from the chilli slices.  The beef slices are tender but it can be rarer to my liking. I personally liked the soup base more than the beef slices itself. The rice noodles are authentic and nicely cooked though.  3 Colour Bean Drink (AUD $4) We wanted to try their Vietnamese coffee but it's late at night so we decided to order this beautiful cooking drink that has a mix of beans and jelly, loaded with some creamy coconut milk. The drink is absolutely delicious because it's sweet, creamy, playful, also really filling. blogger-hk.blogspot.com
