A bowl of Vietnamese Phở Bò (beef noodle soup) is centered in the foreground, presented on a wooden table within a restaurant setting in Hội An Ward, Vietnam. The soup consists of clear broth, thin slices of cooked beef, flat rice noodles, and is garnished with generous amounts of chopped green onions and thinly sliced white scallions or onions. Fine dark particles, consistent with ground black pepper, are visible on the beef and broth surface. The soup is served in a white ceramic bowl with a blue rim and a blue-and-white patterned exterior, featuring traditional Vietnamese architectural and floral motifs. This bowl rests on a matching blue-and-white patterned saucer. The table surface is constructed from reddish-brown wood planks, displaying prominent grain. In the blurred background, a portion of a menu or placemat with text and graphics is visible to the upper left, adjacent to a person's arm clad in a dark-colored sleeve.
