2. Bun Cha at PhoU

Google search on bun cha blew up in 2016 after then President Obama sat down with Anthony Bourdain to a bowl in an unassuming Hanoi restaurant.

The hero of the dish is caramelised pork meatballs served in the dipping sauce with rice noodles and greens.

PhoU is one of a handful of restaurants in Sydney that serves up bun cha. It’s an attractive looking dish. There’s a generously number of large meat patties and extra pork swimming in the sauce. The green sides in include lettuce, coriander, Vietnamese mint and perilla leaves.

To eat, progressively dunk noodles and greens into the bowl. Make sure each mouthful includes all the ingredients. Alternatively you can wrap everything with lettuce and dip into the bowl.
