Nearly 700 people enjoy pho from record pot

      At the Nha Trang Cultural, Art and Tourism College in the central province of Khanh Hoa, nearly 700 people tried bowls of pho from a 1.2m high pho pot on June 8.
The Vietnam Record Book Centre said that this was the largest pot of pho in Vietnam.
The college’s director Hoang Minh Tam said that to set this record, the college produced a huge pot with the bottom diameter of three metres. The pot and the cooker are decorated with pictures of chim lac – a legendary Vietnamese bird – and Dong Son bronze drums.
Although the giant pho pot served just around 700 people on June 8, it can hold enough pho for 18,000 people.
The record pho pot is part of the ongoing Nha Trang Sea Festival 2009 in the coastal city of Nha Trang.
