Song Huong across from Bon's on Broadway on Nanaimo used to be our "go-to" Pho restaurant. Recently, they opened a second location much closer to my home near Nanaimo and First Ave.
The proprietors are from Hue in central Vietnam. Consequently, their style of pho is lighter and more clear than the usual dark and aromatic pho from the south. Their signature dish, however, is their bun ba mon - a bowl of vermicelli with an assortment of beef "sausages".
This dish comes with a strongly flavouored mam nem dipping sauce.. Mam nem is essentially unfiltered nuoc nam. The flavour reminds me of bagna cauda - the Italian anchovy, butter and gralic based dipping sauce.
