Petit Saigon, Birmensdorferstrasse, Zurich

Vietnamese summer roll

Pho

Looking for another great tasting hangover cure ? Vietnamese cuisine has the answer. Petit Saigon, near the Bahnhof Wiedikon offers just that. Instead of getting something from the precooked food in the main display case, the best bet is ordering something a la carte and waiting a couple of minutes. If you’ve never tasted a vietnamese summer roll, this is one of the staple foods and an absolute must try. Wrapped in rice paper, rice noodles, vegetables, chicken, shrimp and assorted herbs make this a sensational bite. Unlike the fried variants, this is light, tasty and refreshing. Pho (Soup) is a light and vitalising dish. Hot clear broth poured on beef slices and noodles . You add sprouts, vietnamese basil and lime juice as you please. The broth, the spicyness and the fresh taste will make you feel good and it stills your hunger. For 27 CHF (roll plus Pho) a good deal.
