Heard about Phở Me (#01-89 Old Airport Road Food Centre, 51 Old Airport Road) recently.
They got my attention because there's bone marrow on the menu. First time for a Vietnamese stall here. Do not scoff at the tiny potion of the broth that comes with it. It's already loaded with some richness from bone marrow.
Marrow from the bones just added on to the already greasy broth.
That's phở gan - tendons only. Broth's light and beefy, generally savoury with a background sweetness flavoured with pepper. Not bad tasting. The one thing which I felt would have improved it greatly were how the tendons were prepared. These were somewhat chewy. Would have been nice if the texture were much more tender.
A bit of heat from the red, sour from the green and also pickling from the garlic help cuts the beefy richness.
