Phở Gà Châm

Chicken pho at its best! So glad I manage to relocate this place. Didn't get the message across to have more chicken skin though. They used 走地鸡 which means free-range chicken (but I saw a translation on the blog as "walking chicken" which is hilarious) hence even for breast meat, it's kind of chewy and give lots of bite. The broth is what makes this the perfect breakfast option in Hanoi. Generous free herbs in piping hot clear chicken broth. Throw in some freshly cut chili for that additional lip smacking shiokness. This is so simple and yet so good. If you do a bit of research on this pho ga shop, you will find that their pho is more expensive than most other places. A bowl like this with the eggs (see my other post) and chrysanthemum tea cost VND80 (just below SGD5) which is high by local standards.

Scrambled, fried, poached, sunny side up, how would you like your eggs done, sir? I would choose this over all of the above, any day! The egg yolk is wholesome and has that rich orange goodness with just a whisk of egg white along in the broth. This is super food for me.
