We found, with significant and surprising difficulty, a pho establishment in Marrickville that serves pho dac biet with all the neccessary trimmings of tripe and tendon.
My friend PMR and I each had the combination beef fuh ($21), which unlike many nearby competitors added tripe and a healthy serving of tendon to each bowl, along with rare beef, brisket, and beef balls. In tribute to the behaviour recently witnessed by my partner’s father, I ordered mine with slightly cooked sprouts so as to not dilute the thermal mass of the hot bowl.
The price of this bowl was generally higher than others in the earea, though it was generous in its size and quantity of beefy proteins. The herbs, lemon, and bean sprouts were served on top of the noodles rather than in a separate side dish, taking away a degree of autonomy from the diner, though they did not go so far as to squeeze the lemon. Though my dining friend paid a particular compliment to the flavour of the soup, I had difficulty appreciating the same depth that he could.
Surely Eat Fuh’s neighbours can add some more fringe bits to their pho?
