Craving for Pho

Trent and I have been craving for Pho for a while now, but we havent found anything as good as home! So we googled some recipes and made it ourselves for a Sunday dinner.

It was very time consuming and I believe we probably didnt have all the correct ingredients and the beef bone was not right. Mann.. pretty disappointed with our 1st attempt, I only rate it a 5/10 for the aroma (it smelt like Pho) but just didnt have that kick!

We used: Beef bones (but no marrow), stewing beef, ginger, star anise, corriander seeds, white pepper, onions, cinnamon stick, are we missing some key ingredient? Any tips will be much appreciated!

For dessert, Trent's 3rd attempt at the chocolate fondant! This time is was perfect, I rate it 10/10!! Just devine...MmmMmmmmm.....
