Restaurant Ha Noi Pho Banh Mi

Post by Chiefeater Steven C T Tea

吃了几次闭门羹，今天终于让我遇上有开门的那一天！原来过去几个月都没营业，是因为老板兼主厨的先生回河内动手术。刚刚和老板娘聊了几句才知道这个原因，心里一阵释怀。
After being seeing Restaurant Ha Noi Pho closed many times, today I finally see it open! It turns out they've been closed for the past few months because the owner and chef's husband was back in Hanoi for surgery. I just chatted with the owner's wife and learned the reason, which made me feel relieved.

走进餐厅，老板娘亲切地用中文问我想吃什么。我说是专程来打包她家的越式法包（Banh Mi），她笑着说：“其实那不是我们的招牌菜，下次你一定要试试我们正宗的家乡河内风味！”我连忙答应。
When I walked into the restaurant, the owner asked me in Chinese what I wanted. I said I was just grabbing her Vietnamese-style baguette (Banh Mi). She smiled and said, "That's not our signature dish, but you must try our authentic Hanoi flavor next time!" I quickly agreed.

虽然不是招牌，但这份 Banh Mi 也让我吃得心满意足。面包外皮烤得香脆，一咬下去还有咔哧声，内部馅料走的是简单路线——和南越胡志明市常见那种馅料丰富的法棍不同，河内的 Banh Mi 更注重新鲜与风味的平衡。今天的馅料里有现烤的香茅猪扒、越南香肠、腌菜和蔬菜，还有她家特调的酱汁，整体吃起来清爽不腻，每一口都能吃到越南街头的味道。
Although not a signature dish, this Banh Mi still left me very satisfied. The crust was toasted to a crispy texture and had a nice crunch when you bit into it. The filling inside was simple—unlike the richly stuffed baguettes commonly found in Ho Chi Minh City, South Vietnam, Hanoi's Banh Mi emphasizes a balance of freshness and flavor. Today's filling includes freshly grilled lemongrass pork chop, Vietnamese sausage, pickled vegetables, and a special sauce. The overall flavor is refreshing and non-greasy, and every bite brings the flavors of Vietnamese street food.

下次一定要来堂食，试试老板娘极力推荐的家乡河内风味！
I'll definitely dine in next time and try the owner's highly recommended Hanoi flavors!
