RE: PHO'? (Pha^`n 4 - Tie^'p theo) -Pho+? Ha`no^.i Sa`i go`n
Hello bac AiViet
As I ever said Pho+? Ba('c Ky` is better one for me because I'm purely
the North. And as I am the North, I don't like foods to which they add
too many spices such as sugar, Gia', Rau Que^'... It changed the real
taste of the food. Let's take sugar as an example, my mom used to say
Southern foods could not had the real tastes because they added up too
much sugar. Different to the South, North people take the pure sweetness
from fresh meat such as pork or beef.
Like you do, I do like the traditional things but there are a lot
exceptions. Pizza Hut must be better than some other Italiano ones I
have ever tried and I would rather wear CK or other fake jeans than the
real Levi's. I've got one question for myself which could not be
answered, it seems. Pizza seems to be better as long as I have them. I
could not like pizza for the first time but from the third one, I bet
with you that pizza is the one of the best food ever in the world. How
come?
