What the creator captured
Mark Wiens returned to Hanoi after nearly a decade to embark on an ultimate tour of the city's most legendary Pho shops. He was particularly impressed by the natural sweetness of the single-bone beef broths and the unique texture of the fatty, thinly sliced beef. A major highlight for him was witnessing the master stock preparation at Pho Thin, where massive pots of rich marrow broth are expertly blended.
