A tour of Phở Việt

Now let me show you around Phở Việt Cafe. The restaurant is quite big. Even though a bit narrow, it is very long, and is divided into two large sections, separated by an airwell. The inner section is just nice for private parties and gatherings. At the hallway behind the front door is a sort of pantry section where you can buy various food products from Vietnam. In fact, the owners of Phở Việt Cafe was also in the business of importing Vietnamese food products into the country.

Vietnamese Drip Coffee

During my visit to Phở Việt Cafe, I had the privilege of trying their Vietnamese Drip Coffee. I liked it so much that I wanted to buy the coffee powder and dripper. They however graciously gave it to me. So now, I am enjoying Vietnamese Drip Coffee on some morning with my breakfast.
