越南牛肉河粉 (Vietnamese Beef Pho)
Dinner @ 'Yue Yu Xuan' (越饫轩) for Southeast Asian cuisine in Qingdao's "Hong Kong Gardens".
We wanted a change from the continual onslaught of Shandong cuisines. Qingdao has a district called "Hong Kong Gardens", which is home to a labyrinth of restaurants offering a variety of choices.
My travelling mate has never been to Southeast Asian. Thought it is good for him to get a 'sampler'. This restaurant which offers Thai, Vietnamese and Malaysian should provide a good start.
The national dish of Vietnam - Pho Bo or Beef Pho. As authenticity goes, this was quite close. My only lament? The lack of ample fresh herbs to be added into the soup - sawtooth coriander, basil, mint etc.
