Hu Tieu My Tho
I was so delighted to see this arrive at my table. Colourful ingredients piled high upon a soft mound of noodles in a clear flavourful broth. On this occasion I was feeling adventurous and decided to veer from the usual suspect. Seafood is always a good alternative when the palette desires a change from the ordinary. This meal definitely satisfied my expectations…
Different view of my lovely My Tho Seafood Noodles
This bowl of goodness is a mouthful to describe. While admiring what was in front of me I realized how simple all the ingredients were that conspired to build such complimentary flavours. The butterflied shrimp was the first thing that caught my attention but what I wanted to taste immediately as I swirled my chopsticks into my bowl were the deep fried curls soaking up the broth. It was crunchy and sweet fish cake. The next thing I did was disassemble the artful pile to examine what tastes would come next.
Mmm : )
What I discovered was a meld of herbs that complimented nicely the subtlety of seafood. Atop bean sprouts and lettuce were shrimp and squid next to coriander, garlic, chives, and green onions. Because seafood with noodle soup is mild and fresh, the dish was paired with deep fried fish cake and sprinkled with sweet fried shallot to create a more dynamic taste. Next time you are feeling adventurous try this!!!
Would love to be added to the list too!
This is the “other” noodles that I get when the restaurant does not specialize in pho. I usually get it with the thin, firmer, yellow noodles.
mmm…yes I like egg noodles a lot too!
Really tasty looking noodles. Yummy…
