Pho- is a noodle soup, served piping hot,
straight from the kitchen and cooked by
local chefs in Vietnam. People who love
meat dishes, especially pork, love this dish,
in which the boiled meat is cooled first and
sliced thinly, before it is added to the white
noodles and garnished with chopped
spring onions and cilantro. Finally, a chicken
or pork broth is poured over the steamed
noodles and it is served hot to customers.
Canh- is basically the name for
Vietnamese soups, found in abundance
throughout the streets of Hanoi, the
capital of Vietnam. For instance,
Vietnamese vegetable soup is called
Canh Cải, where pork, chicken or beef
make up the broth base and vegetables
are added to a boil for a delicious,
piping hot meal, paired with steamed,
white rice. Julienned ginger is also added
to the soup to add zest to the soup
flavour, that is infused with meat and
vegetables, mixed together.
Blending both Vietnamese and European design elements,
the architecture of the Khai Dinh Tomb in Hue has been
described as Buddhist as well as Roman Gothic.
Constructed in the 1920s, the tomb was commissioned by
the Emperor of Vietnam as his own future tomb. The
entrance of the complex leads to the Honour Courtyard,
and then on to the main building called the Thien Dinh.
Khai Dinh’s final resting spot is clearly marked by a
bronze statue surrounded by beautiful murals.
In Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, stands the stunning Notre
Dame Cathedral. Built in the late 19th century, the cathedral
is brick, neo-Romanesque and clearly influenced by European
architecture of the same time period. In fact, many of the
materials used in construction were imported directly from
France. While the exterior is impressive, the interior is also
worth exploring. Look for the surviving stained glass panels as
well as carved tiles and a statue of the Virgin Mary.
