She shared a video recording this moment with the comment that pho was the best, to the point of " wanting to package and bring it home".
In the video, Madam Pang continuously nodded and signaled "OK", clearly expressing her satisfaction with the flavor of the loour.
Before eating, she squeeze some lemon as a habit of Vietnamese diners and add a lot of fresh chili - a popular act of the Thai people that has a spicy taste.
The female president pronounces the two words Vietnamese quite clearly "pho" and "ha Noi", making many netizens excited.
