SPICY PHO MUKBANG

Transcript

SPICY PHO MUKBANG. Oh my god, look at this pho. Usually I go to a small Vietnamese like family-owned place. I heard this place has an atomic broth. They usually have to like doctor it up to make it as spicy as I want it, so I'm really hoping that this is it. This is how I like to make mine, heavy on the bean sprouts. I like to kind of rip these up. Jalapeno, lime. I'm going to taste this first before I add any hoisin or sriracha. Let me see what the broth is giving y'all. It's so hot. It's spicy y'all. In my opinion, it's never too hot for pho. People be like it's summertime, I can't have soup. No, no, no. Me, I'm a have it. Is that yummy? I'm going to put a little bit of hoisin just to kind of balance out the spice and I'm going to actually ask them for a couple more limes too. I don't know how to use chopsticks. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but I don't have time to be bothered with that today. I'm sorry, I hope y'all can hear me and I really hope I'm not smacking, but baby. They did their big one. This bowl is huge for $12. I'm definitely taking this home.
