It's a soup like dish with thinly sliced meat in it that gets cooked by the hot juices of the soup when you add it in. It's called Pho, pronounced kinda like "Fuh".
I've been using chop sticks on a regular basis for over 30 years so yeah, I pretty much got it down. This particular dish doesn't necessarily require a spoon unless you want to drink the broth without tipping the the bowl to your lips.
One of my favorite dishes, my husbands too, he says I use to much basil and mint in mine, lol, he makes his way to spicy for me, I have learned how to make it but it takes way to long to make the broth, so when we want some pho we just find a good vietnamese restaurant :)
Yeah, I like it too but my favorite is Gaeng Phet Moo. I could live on it...literally. No one on the face of earth makes it as good as Nipha does. She calls it something else though, pronounced "Me-Kah-teet". http://www.flickr.com/photos/walkflypinoy/7987523482/
