There's a Vietnamese restaurant chain here in Manila called Pho Bac that my husband and I love. Not quite easy on the pocket though, so I'm so happy having come across your recipe blog. Will try your beef with bittermelon recipe first--interestingly, we have a similar recipe here in the Philippines, down to the tauxi (tausi in our language). May you never tire of posting recipes! :)
