Exclusive to the famous Vietnamese coffee chain "Trung Nguyen Cafe" is this "Pho Khô Gia Lai" or "Gia Lai Dried Noodle".
Under the blanket of lettuce, minced pork, fried garlic and shallots, raw beansprouts and basil leaves is a pile of rather plain-looking thin and chewy noodles. You're suppose to add however much you like of the accompanying small bowl of soya paste and chilli sauce. Which by the way, reminds me of the maroon-coloured sweet sauce and chilli combo you get at our local "yong tau fu" stalls but is more savoury. Their chilli is also much spicier and oilier - yes, it had me happily salivating in an instant. Another nice touch? They serve this noodles with a bowl of sliced beef soup.
