AFTER A MORNING AT MY KHE BEACH, WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN A HOT BOWL OF PHO?

Da Nang is beautiful in its own unique way during the early hours of the day. The sea is still calm, the streets aren't too crowded, and the sun is just beginning to touch the city. After a walk or a swim at My Khe Beach, a hot bowl of pho and a Vietnamese coffee are sometimes the most natural way to start the day.

Six-thirty in the morning.

An Thuong isn't fully bustling yet.

Motorbikes are fewer. Guests returning from the beach are still in their sportswear. Some are walking. Some are pushing baby strollers. Some have just finished a few kilometers of running and are starting to think about breakfast.

If you're looking for breakfast near My Khe Beach, this is when a Vietnamese breakfast means more than just "eating to be full."

It can become part of the city experience.

Pho Cuon at Furama Dining House is now open from 06:30, serving pho, fresh spring rolls, and filter coffee every morning.

No Single Recipe for Vietnamese Breakfast

Not every Vietnamese person eats pho every morning. Some eat Mi Quang. Some eat bun. Some just drink coffee. Some even skip breakfast.

So, when talking about "Vietnamese breakfast," it's best to talk about choices, not rituals.

But pho is still an easy starting point to understand. Hot broth. Rice noodles. Meat. Onions. Herbs. Spices. A complete dish, yet not too complicated to order.

Beef pho, chicken pho, and fresh spring rolls are easy choices for international guests who want to try a Vietnamese breakfast in a simple and understandable way.

Beef Pho or Chicken Pho?

This is often the first question.

If you prefer a deeper flavor, many lean towards beef pho. If you want a lighter sensation, chicken pho is another option.

But the interesting thing is that beef pho further divides into many types: bắp hoa (beef shank), nạm gầu (flank and brisket), đuôi bò (oxtail), tái lăn (stir-fried rare beef).

For unfamiliar guests, just reading the Vietnamese names can be confusing enough. No need to memorize. Just ask our staff. Breakfast isn't a culinary knowledge test.

Taste the Broth First, Then Add Seasonings

This is a small habit worth trying.

When your bowl of pho is served, don't immediately add all the lime, chili, and sauce. Taste a spoonful of the broth first. Then adjust.

The reason is simple. It's easy to add. Impossible to take away.

It's also a way to understand the dish before transforming it into your own preferred version.

What if you don't want pho this morning?

No problem.

The first floor also features a broader Vietnamese menu. Mi Quang is a reasonable choice if you want a noodle dish but not pho. Bun Cha offers a different flavor profile with grilled pork, vermicelli, and herbs. Hoi An Chicken Rice is suitable for those who prefer a rice dish. And the spring roll selection can be a lighter breakfast or an extra dish for two.

This is especially convenient for families. One person wants beef pho. Another doesn't eat beef. Children have different preferences. No one has to force the whole table to eat the same dish.

Fresh Spring Rolls in the Morning - Why Not?

For many international guests, a hot bowl of broth at seven in the morning can sometimes feel a bit much.

Fresh spring rolls are another option. Cool. With vegetables. With rice paper. Eaten by hand. Dipped individually.

Not all guests have the same breakfast habits. A good restaurant allows people to customize their experience.

And Then, Coffee

If the bowl of pho is the meal, coffee is when breakfast slows down.

Vietnamese coffee has its own rhythm. The phin (filter) is placed on the glass. Hot water is poured in. Then you wait. Drop by drop.

There's no button to speed up the process. That waiting time naturally makes people sit a few minutes longer.

You might check your phone for your schedule. You might chat. Or watch An Thuong slowly wake up.

A tourist breakfast is often seen as a time to rush. But sometimes, just 15 minutes of slowing down can make the day more pleasant.

From Breakfast to a Full Day in Da Nang

The exciting thing about An Thuong's location is that after breakfast, your day can go in many directions.

Head back to the beach. Visit Son Tra. Go to Hoi An. Spend the afternoon exploring the city. Or simply return to your hotel to relax.

And if you return to Furama Dining House in the evening, the experience doesn't have to be repeated. Thai Siam Kitchen on the 2nd floor serves from 10:30. The Fan on the 3rd floor operates until 22:30. Hura Izakaya lights up from 16:00 and stays open until 01:00.

Pho in the morning. Steak or Japanese Izakaya in the evening. The same address, but a completely different mood.

A Da Nang Morning Doesn't Need Too Much Planning

Some trips are remembered for grand landmarks. But there are also very small memories.

Sand still clinging to your sandals. Hair still slightly wet after a swim. You sit down. A hot bowl of pho appears. A cup of coffee beside it. Outside, Da Nang begins to get busier.

That might not be an "experience tour." But it's very much like how an ordinary day in Vietnam begins.
