A week or more ago I had a craving for Pho soup, so I checked Helen’s blog for ideas and found an early review of this Pho place. When there’s a baby to factor in, spontaneous restaurant meals are a little harder to come by, and so I opted for takeaway.
When I saw the effort put into the takeaway presentation at An Restaurant (a place in Bankstown that sells only Pho noodle soup), I thought a blog post was in order.
Normally when you open up a takeaway bag, you’re at a loss as to which meal is which. If you’re lucky, someone will have scrawled a vague description of one or two of the dishes on their lids, but that’s as far as it goes.
Here’s an unboxing of the Pho. First, at the top of the bag is a bag containing bean sprouts, basil and chilli.
Remove that bag, and you can see the takeaway spoon and chopsticks, a printed set of instructions in two languages, and the first of the sauces.
Here are the instructions up close.
Under the instructions are the meat-noodles-and-greens packs, and some more sauces.
Oh, and the soup containers are sealed, and then bagged to avoid any liquid spill. Here’s the entire contents.
Follow the instructions (microwaving the relevant ingredients in order, so that everything is safe to eat, and you’re ready to enjoy the Pho soup at home.
What’s the best takeaway experience you’ve ever had?
