Pho' Ga

My first attempt at a Vietnamese breakfast this morning at the Hilton buffet. Granted it's no street stall, but we all gotta start somewhere.

I ordered a chicken pho (pho' ga) for breakfast from the uniformed sous chef at the Egg Station. He does omelettes, fried eggs and pho' ga.

The Ph is an "f" sound. The o is like ö in German. Or œ as in œfs as in French, which explains why the Egg Station makes a good fit.

So pho' is pronounced like "fer". As in "Oh ... fer fuck's sakes, Cheesel!".

The "ga" is like in "ga ga", but halved. Or like "gaaarn", as in "gaaarn Cheesel ... one more durry can't hurt".

So it's fer ga.

It made for a better breakfast than I had anticipated. Even the extra chilli worked.

Pho doesn't go with coffee. I blame the coffee.
