Why Vietnamese foodies' new brisket pho is a must-try
Sponsored: Slow-cooked, smoky, and seriously delicious… Pho lovers, this one's for you. Vietnamese Foodies' Australian Slow Cooked Brisket Pho takes the beloved classic to another level. The secret? Time. At the core of this dish is a 14-hour bone broth, slow-simmered to perfection for that signature rich and comforting depth. But what sets this one apart? The brisket. Sourced from Australia, it's slow-cooked for four hours – smoked, braised, and infused with just the right amount of umami. Every bite is melt-in-your-mouth tender, balanced by fragrant spices, delicate rice noodles, and a fresh hit of herbs. It's familiar, yet something entirely new. A new chapter in Pho mastery Every element is carefully considered – silky rice noodles, fragrant herbs, and a smoky, umami-packed brisket that lingers long after the last bite. This is a dish that doesn't rush the process, and you can taste the difference. Where to try it For those who appreciate pho done right, this one is worth trying. The Australian Slow Cooked Brisket Pho is now available at all Vietnamese Foodies locations across Dubai.
