Pho No. 1. What a Sandwich, What a Bun.

 There are many delicious Vietnamese subs in town, but my favourite is from Pho No 1 at 81 Isabel St., (204) 943-7449.

The sub is made with a delicious crusty on the outside, tender on the inside house-baked roll filled with shredded carrots, cucumber, cilantro, mayo and the super tender marinated grilled pork.

The pork is sweet and tangy and full of flavour.

The sandwich is yet another Vietnamese dish that was born from the French occupation of Vietnam. The bun is strong evidence of this as it has the same qualities as a French country roll.

Vietnam's national dish pho (pronounced "fuh, it  sounds like feu, french for fire) is also born from the French occupation, incorporating Vietnamese flavours with traditional French style beef stock making.
