The World of Street Food

Phở Chiên Phồng, or Puffed Fried Pho by Phở Cuốn 31, Hanoi, Vietnam You might know pho as Vietnam’s famous noodle soup, but there’s another, very different version of the dish called phở chiên phồng . I had never tried this version of pho before, but I had the opportunity to have it for the first time on a recent trip to Hanoi. I was visiting Tây Hồ, or West Lake, one of Hanoi’s most popular neighborhoods, known for its sprawling lake, tree-lined streets, cafés, restaurants, and more relaxed atmosphere. I stopped for lunch at Phở Cuốn 31, a restaurant specializing in this style of pho. Phở Chiên Phồng by Phở Cuốn 31, Hanoi, Vietnam
