A few readers may know of my dismay with the state of social media. With the majority of posts that appear on my feed either explicit advertising or implicit sponsored content, it is increasingly difficult to find genuine foodies who offer well considered and honest food recommendations. Anyway I had bookmarked Tronngan for the occasional chance when I had a day off as it was recommended by BNEofMyLife, whose' reviews I hold in high regard.
Situated in Inala Plaza, I hadn't noticed their opening, but the last I was aware, this shopfront used to hold Chac's and I had previously quite enjoyed their pho. The location was clean, well lit and service was friendly and attentive.
Ordinarily when left to my own devices, I would have ordered a pho, but given the recommendation was for a Bun Bo Hue, that was my selection.
As usual, the BBH came with a side of shredded cabbage and assorted herbs rather than the usual sprouts.
As per the recommendation, this BBH was exceptional. The soup was beefy and spicy whilst still managing to be delicate with its subtle herbal flavours. I really enjoyed the generous amount of toppings. My favourites included the spicy pork sausage and beef brisket. The rice noodles were also soft but retained a bit of bite. I only wish that portion sizes were a bit bigger.
Wanting a little more, I had a serve of prawn and charshiu rice paper rolls. These were freshly made, generous in size and filling without being overly heavy. I would say that it didn't necessarily stand out from other well made rice paper rolls though.
Given how hot it was, I also had a Vietnamese Iced Coffee, served less sweet. This was very intense and although already less sweet than usual, considerably sweet for my tastes.
I really enjoyed the BBH at Tronngan, next time I will make a point to bring Dr L along with me so we can try a couple more other dishes.
