3 minutes I'm told, and 5 if you want it de-boned. Meat and noodle soup are a staple Vietnamese dish, and although dog and cat Pho restaurants are not common, they can usually be found on discreet narrow streets in Hoi An. Menus don't exist in restaurants like this. They bring your ingredients to you. They also offer a quite detailed history of your chosen meat. For instance, my cat was 6 months old, called Mitsy, fed on corn beef but predominantly food scraps, had been with the owners of the resturant since birth, and came with a certificate of authenticity. The price of a cat pho can be anywhere from 15,000 to 30,000 dong - depending on its history, and tastes best served with corriander and lemon grass.
What happens to the rest of the cat? What do you think your pho broth is made from?
Bon appetit!!
