"Pho", Vietnam's iconic noodle soup, has been named the world's 20th best food experience by world travel guide book publisher the Lonely Planet, local media reported on Thursday.

"Pho" on the Hau River along 500 other dishes was selected as for the book "Ultimate Eatlist: The World's Top 500 Food Experiences...Ranked" published on Aug 15.

The list was topped by pintxos in San Sebastian, Spain, followed by curry laksa in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and sushi in Tokyo, Japan, Vietnam News Agency reported.

In June, travel site Rough Guides named "pho" among the world's 15 best foods that are easy on a globetrotter's pocket.

A bowl of pho contains flat, soft rice noodles dipped in a fragrant beef or chicken broth flavored with different condiments. It is served with beef or chicken, shallots and chili and lemon to taste.

The soup originated from Vietnam's Hanoi capital before it was brought to the south where people added their own influences to the dish.
