Bun Bo Hue

Bun Bo Hue

This is their signature dish that you must try. The recipe is being passed down to generation since 40 years ago. Its Spicy hue beef soup with vermicelli. The basic soup is savory and tasty not like any other Pho dishes that I have tried before, this dish really tasty not bland. They add generous slice of beef meat and they served it with additional vegetables. To add the spiciness they will give you traditional chili sauce special made for this pho. The chili sauce adds the spiciness and gives a hint of tangy taste for the soup. Overall I love this dish. Its delicious. The portion is perfect for one person.

Com Cha Ca Kho

Another menu that recommend by the waiter is com cha ca kho. This dish is basically dory fish cake clay-pot that served with steamed rice. The dory fish cake taste savory and sweet. It’s taste like a omelet but the sauce is yummy. Perfect to have with steamed rice because is savory and salty enough to eat with rice.

Three Bean dessert

I forgot the actual name of this menu. But this is basically white bean and red been with cendol served with crushed iced, coconut milk and sugar syrup. Taste like our own traditional cendol, but the cendol made from sago and bit springy and chewy. The bean taste perfectly blend with the coconut milk. The portion is big, so better for sharing.
