This dish is called Bun Bo Hue, which I’ve seen on many signs
around HCMC. “Bo” means beef and “hue” means the city it is from (it is in the
style of Hue). It was similar to pho in
my mind; I suppose because I have only been here for several days so any soup
with noodles in it looks like pho to me! Maybe by the time I leave, I’ll
understand how to distinguish them and their finer nuances :p
This particular dish was from a small
home-based vendor/restaurant down the street from our hotel. I loved the onions and nice pieces of beef.
The long piece you see is quite common here in soups (but in different shapes)
and I believe it’s simply different meats and proteins processed together. Better than it sounds, believe me! This photo shows it before I added all the
lettuce, cilantro, lemongrass, bean sprouts and sauces that they provide you
with on the side.
