This miserable and cold weather just calls for pho. Pho is a popular Vietnamese beef noodle soup. And when I’m in the mood for pho, the one place that I head to is Pho Bac Hai Duong in Marrickville …

Bun bo hue is so perfect for the winter months. It’s a whole lot of comfort in one huge bowl. The servings are massive, and we probably could have shared one and still had leftovers! I love this soup because not only is it very flavoursome and chilli, but it doesn’t feel too heavy in the stomach afterwards …
