When I post my revie...Hi Oanh, thanks for reading!<br /><br />When I post my reviews of restaurants, I do a search on the Web to see if they have a Web site, and if they do, I'll post a link. So when I don't post a link, that usually means the restaurant doesn't have a Web site or it wasn't easily found via Google. Since this restaurant closed, I doubt they have a Web site that's current.Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-18412727912430469982010-02-25T07:04:06.147-08:002010-02-25T07:04:06.147-08:00Hi,

At least I know I wasn't cheated out of any authenticity. :)Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-25781797352519771462009-07-11T08:41:57.192-07:002009-07-11T08:41:57.192-07:00Bun Rieu broth should be more like a tomato-based ...Bun Rieu broth should be more like a tomato-based soup and it is cooked w/ pork bones therefore you will not taste the sweetness of crab. Rieu is the crab balls that you had. Crab in VN is smaller than the dungeness crab we have here in the Bay Area with very little meat to one crab and the meat isn't as sweet, hence the creation of the mixture of crab paste and crab into Rieu. <br /><br />BTW, I'm a new fan of your blog.

Well, it is nice to see that the pho bo broth stands alone in deliciousness, without the need for any additional accompaniments!Passionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.com
