Mi Quang Tom Thit - Sunday, April 20

And now, for one of my absolute favourite dishes in the recent weeks (I know, I know, so much of it is good, how can you trust me when I say it’s REALLY good, right? Well, this is good because it’s so unique in its flavour! It absolutely surprised Patrick and me.


It’s called Mi Quang Tom Thit, which means: “Quang noodles with shrimp and pork”. We paid 50,000VND ($2.50) and got a delicious portion of noodles in a flavourful meat broth, filled with pork, shrimp, green onions, chilis and chopped peanuts.  Then, to add inside, as usual in most Vietnamese cuisine (it softens and cooks once you mix it in), are the herbs and greens.  It is also served with big crispy crackers/pita chips that reminded me of a type of crouton, since you crumble it up and put it in the broth.
