Craving Hanoi's Bún Thang in Saigon!
Every time I visit Hanoi, I always hunt down a bowl of bún thang – that nostalgic, rustic yet refined culinary gem of the Old Quarter.
Found My Saigon Fix!
Back in Saigon, this bún thang spot in Thao Dien hits the spot perfectly! You can really taste the attention to detail in every ingredient.
- What's in the Bowl: Fried Egg, Shiitake Mushrooms, Vietnamese Ham (chả lụa), Shrimp, Bamboo Shoots…
- And of course, the must-have: Chicken Thigh (my choice!)
The Secret Ingredient?
The owner thoughtfully asked if I liked shrimp paste (mắm tôm). Absolutely! That funky, pungent mắm tôm blended into the broth is an explosion of flavor! It adds richness and depth to the already delicate and elegant bún thang.
Worth Every Penny!
I think the price is reasonable considering the quality, especially in pricey Thao Dien. Plus, the place is super clean and tidy, even with the constant flow of customers. Big thumbs up!
