A complementary experience to the Triennale exhibitions, whose relevance is revealed by the chef: Boi-Cavalo (Horse Ox) was born at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale back in 2013. Not completely formed, like Athena, but close by. It was in this cafeteria that defined many of its characteristics, since it was the place where Boi-Cavalo were rehearsed. The menu was in constant renovation, an idea of the city of Lisbon's cuisine extremely porous to influences of many communities that inhabit it, the almost total opening of the kitchen to visitors, the sometimes tense marriage between an author's kitchen and a context of extreme, intentional relaxation (and music in a way to play, by the way...). Thus, Boi-Cavalo wants to return to the house that saw him born with a simpler but equally pilgrim idea: As cookers, we love the Vietnamese soup Pho with impeccably cooked noodles in a fragrant broth, accompanied by thin slices of meat and many fresh herbs. To our great regret, since we were lucky enough to travel a little and taste this wonder, in Lisbon there is no Pho. Just because there is not a Vietnamese community that cooks and eats it, so what you can find is just a very pale reproduction, which shames one of the best street foods that two pennies can buy...
Since there is no Vietnamese community, we invented it. The Chef is a pretender, and Boi-Cavalo, which is always trying to force marriages between ingredients and Portuguese techniques and others that more or less recently arrived in our city, will not let a detail like that stop him.
So let's make Pho”.
