My fave Vietnamese place


Next time you're in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, you cannot go far wrong with lunch/snack/dinner at Perfume River Vietnamese restaurant. The decor is old and tacky but the food is delicious and so are the prices. I have been to posher Vietnamese places but honestly, have not found any better than good ol' Perfume River. Back in the days when I ate meat, the beef pho was to die for. Lots of fresh ho fun in nice beefy broth with thinly-sliced onions. Squeeze in your lime, add some freshly-chopped chillis and mint before you start. We always used to get Set Menu A for 2 people which gives you 2 bowls of beef pho, fried spring rolls wrapped in lettuce and garlic-pepper chicken wings. Plus dessert! But there is also a fairly extensive menu as well - no worries if you are vegetarian and after some nice rice paper rolls...
