| Vietnamese Beef Noodle Special |
Other than quality ingredients, you can tell that there has been a lot of thought poured in the bowl of pho. Every aspect of the beef noodle is curated.
They have made three improvements on their signature dish:
1. Different types of beef bones are used to enhance sweetness and to add better texture of the broth. It is no doubt that the effort to prepare the broth by simmering it for 12 hours with 18 herbs and spices pays off. The soup is thoroughly flavourful sans MSG so that you can go ahead and savour it all without having to chug down a jar of water later.
2. If y ou like beef, I'd like to see how you resist the premium raw ribeye used. Well marbled and just the right thickness, the slices of meat just melts in your mouth.
3. An Viet now uses not any ordinary tripe but crunchy honeycomb tripe. You can tell that the tripe is seasoned with passion by its tenderness. It is always a mouthwatering moment unearthing it from the bowl.
In your bowl of beef pho, slurp up the silky and thin rice noodle. I tried to be satiated with the medium portion but was in vain. Scroll down to see how one additional portion looks like.
I nearly told the waiter to exclude the tendons as I always had to deal with tough ones that tire my jaw but I am glad I did not. That gob of collagen was like springy gel that was a pleasure to have. Brisket was brilliantly tender while beef balls were bouncy and imbued happiness.

Other than dishing out the beefiest pho in town, An Viet also contributes to some character building in the society. Upon your visit, you will notice a lot of posters about no food wasting, stopping hunger and being a ZERO food waste HERO. A food-losophy firmly upheld to ensure food is finished.
This restaurant lets you choose the right rice or noodle portion from 100 gm, 150 gm to 200 gm. If you need more, they will top it up for you till the maximum amount without additional charges. For every finished meal, RM0.10 will be donated to Food Aid Foundation. So far they have donated RM50,000.
In sync with the intention to reduce food wastage, An Viet lets guests harvest fresh basil leaves from the live plant by themselves so that they know how much they need. This I have to say is a concept out of the ordinary. It was not only waste-free but enjoyable having to cut my own basil leaves instead of sitting and waiting to be served.

| An Viet has a wonderful concept of letting their guests choose the portion that they can finish. If you need more, they will top it up for you without additional charges. I think it is a very character-moulding way of spreading this value. For every meal finished, An Viet donates RM0.10 to the food bank. So far, they have donated approximately RM50,000 |
