Our Prawn Pho has a delightful twist based on the classic Vietnamese noodle soup. This dish brings together the sapor from the lemongrass with succulent prawns, cooked rice stick noodles, and an aromatic broth infused with tangy tamarind. What truly sets our Prawn Pho apart is the vibrant garnish of fresh herbs and toppings. A combination of crisp bean sprouts, fragrant Thai basil, zesty lime wedges, and a touch of chili creates a symphony of flavours and textures, allowing you to customize each bite to your preference. It's a feast for both the palate and the senses.
