I'm already familiar with Phat Pho having dined at their restaurant in Banilad, Cebu. What I like about the restaurant at the Powerplant Mall is that it as a "streetfood" vibe to it- from the tables, chairs, and decors. Think "sosyal" na "carinderia" in a mall.
Angus Beef Satay. Costs around P240 and its only three sticks but OMG, it is so good! Beef is very tender (well, hello Angus!) and flavorful, too. Don't bother with the satay sauce, just enjoy the beef because it is flavorful enough.
Bun Bo Hue, P220. Hubby ordered this. It is a bit "spicier" than the regular Pho although the reddish color came from the anatto seeds. The traditional Bun Bo Hue also has pork blood in it but since I haven't tasted it, I really can't tell. But hubby finished all of it so it must be good. :)
Here's my Pho Bo which cost P220 also. Daughter ordered a similar bowl so no need for photo. She was already slurping when I took this photo. Very filling although I think that the flavor of the herbs were a bit lacking. Can't wait to have another bowl again though. Maybe I should just bring my own coriander. ;)
The noodles come in small or large bowls. What we got are the small ones, but these bowls are definitely more filling than those of its competitors. I also saw some friend spring rolls on the menu which I plan to order next time. I'm sure its going to be delish!
