Bún Bò Huế – spicy noodle soup


Speaking of Vietnamese noodle soups, Bun Bo Hue– a specialty formerly originating in Hue – central Vietnam, must not be out of its list. It may be called spicy beef noodle soup (as Wikipedia) in English. The mix of Beef bones, fermented shrimp paste, lemongrass, grilled chopped shrimp, and dried chilies creates a wonderful harmonious flavor recalled in mind anytime mentioning about Hue.
For those touring Hue this is a must-eat that cannot be missed! Bun Bo is now served in restaurants around this royal city.
Nowadays in Ho Chi Minh City, Bun Bo Hue is also served in many restaurants from top-end in luxurious malls to budget in the alley. A dish that can be eaten anything during a day – for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even super! If you are wandering even along a street or an alley, you may meet some Bun Bo restaurants.
There is a special point that Hue food is different because of the fusion of dishes designed by poverty-stricken peasants and the sumptous opulence of the Imperial Court (Source: http://www.hue-hotel.com).
