Pho’s international and historical impact by American magazine Lucky Peach
“Pho is the only meal we call ‘the meal for all seasons.’ Spring, summer, autumn, all time you can eat pho, morning, lunch, dinner, and supper.
“Pho is also the only meal with no classes. It makes no difference: the poor people eat pho, the rich people eat pho. Intellectual people eat pho. Not-educated people eat pho, too. But some places are only for high class, some places are only for poor people. Third, pho is the only meal that artists are interested in. They have poetry for pho, they have songs for pho, pictures for pho. Now they have films for pho, and they also have some drama, too. No meal has this character!”
Curious about pho? Did you know that as a Googled term, “pho” and “ramen” are equal in search popularity? How is pho in the North and South of Vietnam different?
Read Rachel Khong’s article “What’s True about Pho” via Lucky Peach, then come down to NamNam Noodle Bar (in Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia) to see how we have modernised and adapted pho while preserving the essential flavours of this classic dish. And, if you are curious how you can ride the cresting pho trend via NamNam Noodle Bar in your country, send us a message and let’s talk over some pho!

Pho: The New Ramen?
Noodles and soup has always been comfort food.
Enter ramen – rich and satiating. Recently, a broader stroke of creativity across the US has moved ramen out from its pigeon hole onto a larger playing field. Ivan Ramen in New York City does Breakfast Ramen (dashi and cheddar broth, crispy bacon, scallion omelette) while Gavin Kaysen offers off-the-menu ramen (duck & ham hock broth, smoked coppa, turnips, charred Napa cabbage) at Spoon and Stable.

In a similar manner, Pho is receiving greater attention, hinting at a new wave that can be cresting in the next few years.
“Lucky Peach is betting on pho becoming the “new ramen.”
“It’s a roulette table we’re putting our chips on,” said Meehan, whose next quarterly issue, on newsstands May 17, will focus on pho.
“Pho requires a less-dense broth and is more affordable to make,” he said.
NamNam Noodle Bar welcomes interested parties who are looking to bring our version of pho into the United States, Europe or Australia. Contact us here for an opportunity!

Now, brands like Shophouse, Panda Express and even Blaze are moving into the fast casual sphere. Beyond the given demands for quality food and service, pricing is a major consideration for potential customers.

YUM! brands struggling to create fast casual winner
“For the past two years, it’s (Yum!) been trying — and failing — and trying — to break into the fast casual space.”
READ MORE ⌄
The recent few years has seen a rapid growth in the fast casual segment. According to Technomic’s 2014 Top 500 chain restaurant report, 2013 saw fast casual chains grow by 11% and store count by 8% in the United States. Characterised by freshly prepared and high quality food, fast casual concepts are rapidly filling the space between fast food restaurants and casual dining restaurants. YUM! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut) have launched a line of fast casual concepts such as US Tacos (pictured above), centred on tacos (a Mexican dish of a flat corn cake folded around a savoury filling), Bánh Shop, focusing on bánh mi (a Vietnamese sandwich with savoury fillings) or KFC Eleven, where fried chicken or grilled chicken with global flavours are accompanied by rice, salad or flatbread. Some of these brands by YUM! have closed and others have remained open, but the message is clear – fast food companies are seeing the potential (and competition) that fast casual concepts pose.

With the emergence of the neo-bistrot, BDV Manila uses a cosy and relaxed approach to dining stripped of the stuffiness, where one can enjoy excellent casual French food in a refreshingly relaxed atmosphere. BDV Manila maintains the true bistro vibe with interior details very similar to our other Bistro du Vins, yet, not making the audience feeling too casual in the space. BDV Manila has two types of menus: the classic menu and exciting blackboard specials. The regular menu features our classic dishes such as Foie Gras Terrine with Brioche, Escargots, Jarret d’Agneau Braisé, Cochon de Lait Confit and many more. There are two wine lists: Les Cartes des vins (wine list) and La Cave du Patron (Premium selection). The wine lists are both comprised of entirely French wines, mainly from regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux and Rhône.
We now have a total four BDV outlets in Asia, including one in Hong Kong and two in Singapore. BDV Manila is our first franchised outlet to open for Les Amis Group and we are delighted to work with our partners, The Moment Group. The development of BDV Manila is nothing short of fun, from planning of the interiors, choosing of equipment and chinaware, wine requisitions; to intensive trainings for kitchen, service and wine with countless dry runs to ensure the standards and expectations of a Bistro du vin outlet is upheld. The Manila team is now gearing up for more events in 2015!
