My First Pho

" PHO 24 "
I had my first pho today!
Walked a couple stores down from Donut's Donuts to "Pho 24".
It's the first time I ate alone in a public place. (Yes, first time.. EVER)
I am quite proud of myself ^^

Pho was alright. Could be better.
New Mission: Try every pho in this neighborhood and find the best place. 

So a little explanation of the picture above:
1. Obviously a picture of the pho I ate. The name? I don't remember. But it's the one with everything. It's 59,000VND. So, approximately $3.00. (Way cheaper than America, for Americans, but expensive for Vietnamese workers that are working under minimum wage.)
2. Water, bread, and wet wipe = NOT free. 
The waitress flipped my menu to the drinks section as soon as I ordered my pho. I told her I wanted water, and she brought me a small bottle of Aquafina. Bottled water? NOT free.
The bread and the wet wipe is brought to your table as soon as you order. This too, is NOT free. As long as you don't use it and don't eat it, you are free of charge. (Good thing I had some prior knowledge of this!)

    but the 국물 does look a little dark for real pho in Vietnam.
