Chao, pho

Apologies for the lack of focus. I took this outside our lunch place in Cu Da - the only eatery in two villages. The menu consisted of two dishes: chao (rice porridge) or noodle soup with chicken or beef. The noodles were not actually pho, but bun which are also made from rice, but not wide and flat like the pho. On our last day, as a special treat, our cook actually made the soup with the local product, mien. Whichever noodles we had, however, the soup was very good, as was the chao - filling and tasty. I'm looking forward to going back.
