PriceA shop bowl is an everyday lunch.
Where it comes from
Central Vietnam. Da Nang eats the Hue-style snakehead bowl, often at a shop with Huế on the sign.
How to enjoy it
Eat it with a spoon. The noodles are too wide to toss the way you toss mi Quang.
Add chili if you want heat. The fish should taste clean, not muddy.
Come hungry. A bowl is a full lunch.
Where to try it
In Da Nang, Huế Thu is on Châu Thị Vĩnh Tế. Ask for the shop by name on that street.
In Dong Hoi the everyday bowl is cháo canh, also called bánh canh: noodles, a fried ram, and a broth of its own. It is not the snakehead bowl.
