How to ease into it
- Ask for the shrimp paste on the side and try a drop: it is salty and very strong. People loosen it with lime or kumquat and chilli.
- Dip a piece of hot tofu, then vermicelli: the hot-cold contrast makes the dish.
- If the smell stops you, ask for nuoc cham instead, the normal fallback.
- Go between 11 am and 1 pm: the tofu is freshly fried. If you worry about hygiene, read street food and hygiene.
In a Hanoi menu
The dish follows the same logic as bun cha: herbs, vermicelli, sauce. See also bun rieu and bun oc and Vietnamese dishes to try. To taste with a guide, see the "Hanoi Guided Food Tour with Train Street Visit" on GetYourGuide. The Hanoi Authority editorial team.
