Lemongrass Prawn Pho
🍜 Prawn Pho-nominal : A Lemongrass & Tamarind Twist. Our Prawn Pho has a delightful, distinctive twist on the classic Vietnamese noodle soup, built around a deeply aromatic broth that sings with the bright, citrusy savor of lemongrass and the subtle tang of tamarind. This flavourful liquid is the perfect bath for succulent, sweet prawns and silky, tender rice stick noodles.
