Bat Dan crab noodle soup is famous for its delicious vermicelli and special eating style. (Illustration) Bat Dan crab noodle soup from the past up to now is not only famous as one of the delicious restaurants but also famous for its unique style of eating, so when it comes to this noodle shop, people still call it with the name. familiar name “bun rieu bung”. The shop is actually just a small shop at the beginning of a deep alley leading to the owner’s house. The space is only a few square meters, so the owner uses chairs to both save space and serve the most diners. The space of the restaurant is only a few square meters of sidewalk, so people carry bowls to eat for convenience, fast and neat. Many pregnant women are also “addicts” of the shop. (Illustration) The reason the shop is called bun rieu bung is because there are no tables here, only small and medium chairs as tables and chairs. Guests come to eat mainly with bowls for quick and neat. Moreover, under the bowl of vermicelli, there is a small tissue paper to wipe the mouth and put it under the bowl to keep the heat away, so “bump” has become the restaurant’s trademark. A well-fitted bowl of vermicelli usually has beans, beef, pork rolls and a basket of fresh green vegetables that are finely chopped. In it, pieces of golden fried beans, soft and delicious beef and pork rolls blend with the flavor of a traditional bowl of crab noodle soup. Perhaps the thing that people like to eat the most when they come to the restaurant is the clear, clean broth, no fat, and a clear sour smell of vinegar. Tomatoes are trimmed with red areca slices next to fragrant, rich pieces of yellow crab bricks that are beautifully displayed on the bowl. A well-fitted bowl of vermicelli usually has beans, beef, pork loin and a basket of fresh green vegetables that are finely chopped. (Illustration) The beef is selected with soft and sweet loin. (Illustration) The vermicelli here “eats points” in the sweet and delicious broth, everyone who has finished eating must drink the whole country to satisfy “the happiness”. The difference in the bowl of vermicelli here is that it is not accompanied by fried onions, so it is always prepared, without being overwhelmed by the aroma of onions. Besides, the restaurant’s chili seems to be crushed from chili fruit, although a little bit spicy, but it goes well with the broth to boost the flavor of the crab. Richly fragrant copper yellow crab bricks. (Illustration) For those who want to enjoy the full sweetness of the bowl of vermicelli crab noodles, they can ask not to add shrimp paste. And those who want to enjoy the rich, sweet and fragrant taste in each piece of crab brick can add a little shrimp paste to enjoy the full flavor. Not only is it unique with the style of eating, the special thing when coming here is that the restaurant does not use spoons, so it makes more people interested. There’s nothing like sitting on a low chair in front of a small alley, holding a bowl of hot and fragrant crab noodles to enjoy, then slurping until the last sip of water, closing your eyes to enjoy the taste to remember a Ha In the olden days, luxury restaurants had not “sprung up like mushrooms” like now.

On average, a bowl of banh chung here is about VND 40,000 to VND 100,000, the special part of whole cake can be up to more than 200,000 VND, making many people “terrible”. This is also the legendary bowl of banh chung that Saigon’s playboys often whisper to each other. According to many diners, the quality of the food here is very good, the crab ingredients are inherently expensive, carefully selected, so the price of 220,000 – 240,000 VND is acceptable. Especially when the bowl of banh chung is full, with the attractive red crab displayed, it is difficult for anyone to hold back. However, this giant bowl of banh chung is not sold much. Most customers come to the shop to choose a small portion for less than 100,000 VND, which is affordable and healthy, with the crab meat being separated. “Currently, the most consistent bowl of Banh Canh I sell for only 100,000 VND/big bowl including spring rolls, meat, pork loin and crab pieces (half of a fish with the shell intact). And the bowl of banh cano costs 240,000 VND, which is very rare. Selling at those prices every day must be too cheap because of the popular soup cake,” said Ms. Phuong. Each fiber of soft white crab meat brings the typical fresh and sweet taste of seafood mixed with hot, fragrant soup. The tough, chewy bread is evenly absorbed in the broth, making it difficult for anyone to resist. The accompaniments such as pork rolls, fish balls are quite good quality when the big, meat-filled pieces are simmered very easily. Cha fish is very sweet and when eaten, it feels like authentic fish meat, not mixed with too much flour like some places still sell. You can order a normal portion without crab but only fish cakes, spring rolls, crab meat with prices ranging from 40,000-80,000 VND. This is a very reasonable price for such a “full” serving. However, the minus point is that the shop is on the sidewalk, quite hot in the summer Saigon weather. With such a location and price, it will be difficult to satisfy fastidious diners.

Every day from 4 pm to 12 pm every day, at Xoi Man restaurant (409 Tran Phu, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City) is always crowded with customers to buy. Surely many people find it strange that around the sticky rice shop are many facilities, funeral services, even funeral homes, making the atmosphere here somewhat murky. Explaining the strange name of the dish, Mr. Luu Bao Minh, the current owner of the sticky rice shop, shared: “In the past, the restaurant was located on the corner of Nguyen Tri Phuong and Tran Phu streets, but since moving here, it is located near the funeral home. , stores that sell coffins, funeral services, and hospitals, so the shop is named like that.” The sticky rice shop is a car with a glass cabinet that looks like a bread cart that is often seen on many streets in Saigon. The pot of sticky rice is mounted on a gas stove placed in the car, the sticky rice is always smoky. Sticky rice is quite flexible, fragrant and fatty. Compared to other restaurants in the city, the address on Tran Phu street is not very prominent in taste, even less choice of side dishes than other places. However, it is not by chance that sticky rice “morgue” attracts gourmets in Saigon. According to the owner, every day people in the family will go to the market and cook by themselves from 10 am. Particularly, sausages are bought from Soc Trang, not from strange places. After buying pork sausage, it is fried and sliced ​​to taste. The shop only sells salty sticky rice, the main ingredients include: sticky rice, sausages and cotton balls. Besides, there is also onion fat and fried onions to create aroma and round taste. Where the onion fat sells, the shop will make it there because it’s ready-made, the fresh onion leaves will turn yellow and lose the characteristic pungent smell. Another plus point is that the shop also sprinkles crushed peanuts, creating a strange taste because salty sticky rice is rarely used by people. Soy sauce added to sticky rice is also mixed according to the traditional recipe. Another interesting thing is the unique way of eating sticky rice. Here, sticky rice will be wrapped in fresh banana leaves into long rolls like Tet cakes. Where customers eat, they tear banana leaves there. Never use a spoon. Explaining this way of eating, the owner said: “Because of the fear that the plastic of the spoon when meeting hot sticky rice will not be good for customers’ health”. Thanks to such a difference, in only 8 to 9 hours, all three pots of “mortar sticky rice” were quickly sold out. According to Mr. Quyen (Mr. Minh’s brother), the motorbike is the main source of income for the whole family. And with the number of customers coming to buy is too large, in order to serve customers in time, the whole family has to take turns selling continuously. With only 10,000 VND, we have in hand a delicious package of “morgue sticky rice”. With each soft, hot sticky rice. The top is covered with a layer of onion fat and heirloom soy sauce. Followed by a thick layer of scrubs, a spoonful of greasy roasted peanuts. Fried onions and pieces of red and pink sausage are placed on top, looking extremely stimulating to the taste buds.

That is how residents at 20 Thuoc Street (now Hoang Dieu Street, District 4, Ho Chi Minh City) show the way for diners to Mrs. Ngoc’s restaurant. Nested next to the alley wall, the shop has only one stall, 3 folding tables and 2 neat rows of plastic chairs. Every day, the shop only sells from 6am to 10am, then makes room for other people to do business. With no address, no signboard, the restaurant of Ms. Ngoc (73 years old) is still crowded with customers to eat. Beef noodle soup owned by Mrs. Ngoc is nestled next to the alley on 20 Thuoc Street (District 4, Ho Chi Minh City). “For 20 years in the business, I just put up a board to let people know what I sell. This is a small item, sitting on the street, so I don’t need a sign. Whoever wants to eat will come by himself”, the owner just said. with Zing , just quickly scoop up soup for new visitors. “No cutlery” noodle shop In 1984, Ngoc took her small family with her, leaving Hue to go to Saigon to do business. 10 years later, instead of trading dishes as in her hometown, the owner chose to sell Hue beef noodle soup as a livelihood. “Many years of trading are many years of ups and downs, nothing has been done,” she said. In the early days of the business, Mrs. Ngoc’s restaurant was even smaller than the present, with only 2 tables and chairs arranged around. “Back then, I just dared to make it small. I sat close to the alley, the shop did not have many customers to know it, so just that was enough”, the owner said. Ms. Ngoc’s business is still troubled many times due to opening a shop on 20 Thuoc Street – a place notorious for robbery and gangsterism in the past. About 15 years ago, every time she opened the goods, she was anxious to fear that someone would steal things and fight at the shop. Furniture, pots and pans used for trading can be stolen at any time. Years of trading in a place that is notorious for robbery and arguing in Saigon made the owner in the habit of storing knives and scissors under a drawer of raw materials. “Back then this place was called the Gypsy district, the people living here were also very badly known. Actually, there were this person, that person, not everyone in Kho 5, area 20 Thuoc, alley 148 Ton Dan. , Oxi Brick village, Dua village … are all bad people “. In addition, afraid of people on the street causing fights, riot and then taking cooking utensils to fight, Mrs. Ngoc was forced to hide all knives and scissors. Now, when order and security has been ensured, the owner still keeps the habit of storing knives, pulling down the cabinets containing the ingredients. “In recent years, this area has completely stopped robbing and fighting. Even so, I used to hide the cutlery, so it was not used to leave it on the table”. Standard noodle bowl with Hue flavor Originally from Hue, each bowl of vermicelli is carefully cared for by Mrs. Ngoc from broth, cake fibers to rolls, vegetables. To have a delicious, flavorful broth, she has to get up at 3 o’clock every morning to cook broth, stew and season to taste a typical fish sauce. Other ingredients such as beef, crab cakes, beef rolls … and herbs are all well known to be Mrs. Lanh (age 60), sister-in-law and also the owner of the woman who sells and goes shopping early. With carefulness in the cooking process, the bowl of vermicelli when served to customers is always hot, delicious and hygienic. A bowl of Hue beef vermicelli made by Mrs. Ngoc has a strong taste, aroma of fish sauce and full of ingredients. “Each cook can give different flavors, but delicious or not by the customer. Therefore, I always try to make a reasonable change according to the taste of the user.” Share with Zing Many diners at the restaurant, Ms. Ngoc, said that the standard taste of Hue and the warm attitude of the owner are the reason why they often come to eat. Many people even become customers, being the owner of the owner, remembering their face and their taste. Ms. Loan, residing at Ton Dan Street (District 4, Ho Chi Minh City), considers herself “a match” at Mrs. Ngoc’s restaurant. A few years ago, she came to this store with an ad from her grandmother – who lived in the opposite alley. “The owner tastes it well, but in the afternoon, the guests are very demanding. I have eaten here for a long time, used to the taste, so sometimes I will come to eat,” she said. Not only welcoming patrons, the noodle shop also attracts many curious visitors to enjoy. Hoang Le (22 years old), a student from Hanoi, shared with Zing that the food Mrs. Ngoc made has a different taste than the vermicelli bowls she has eaten in the capital. The difference is not only in the ingredients but also in the rich, sweet soup. “Hue beef vermicelli in Hanoi is very different, there is no crab roll and a lighter broth. Each place has a way of processing, but I really like the taste of this bowl”, she complimented her friend. Thanks to delicious food and a welcoming owner, this noodle shop has become the “gourmet restaurant” of many diners in Ho Chi Minh City. “As for strength, I still cook beef noodles” For the past two decades, Ngoc has led the noodle shop business with her sister-in-law. Food vendors, drink shops, and the two sisters rely on a small alley to do business. For several years now, due to their high age, two women have had to ask their sons to push the trolley to the point of sale. At that time, the hostess sisters arranged neat furniture and tables to welcome guests to eat. A full bowl of spring rolls is sold for 40,000 VND, but the price may vary depending on the level of diners. Even the owner often sells cheaply to poor customers who lack money. “Someone who doesn’t have enough money but wants to buy a bowl of vermicelli 10,000 dong, I also sell it. I have a fixed price, if there are customers who want to eat but don’t have money, it is very bad!”, Aunt Ngoc shared. “Selling very good food, the children do not want to follow the profession. As for me, I will still cook beef noodle soup. Working by myself, I have money for myself to spend, and have the opportunity to mobilize hands and feet, no one is happy. Blessed with me, “said Ms. Ngoc. Over the past 20 years, Ms. Lanh (left) has always helped her sister-in-law to do business in Ho Chi Minh City.

Food Street Ho Thi Ky is one of the famous dining areas in Ho Chi Minh City. In recent times, this place has even been known as “a paradise for food devotees”, a favorite destination for every weekend of Saigon youth after appearing in many introductions and reviews. on social networks. From 16:00, the roads and alleys inside the food court were full of people and cars. At intersections, vehicles must keep honking for directions, pedestrians must move step by step. The crowded, bustling lasted until 22:00. Although crowded and cramped, the neighborhood still attracts customers, especially young people, thanks to its diverse cuisine, affordable price for students. Many young people also said that the busyness created the bustling atmosphere, showing the true rhythm of life and spirit of the Saigon people. When she first came to Ho Thi Ky food court with a close association of friends, Chi Mai (18 years old) was surprised because it was even more crowded than I imagined. “I knew this place through online reviews but I did not expect it to be this crowded. Everywhere we see people, we have just gone a round, have not chosen to buy anything but feel quite tired”. At high-end restaurants, customers have to wait in long lines, wait 10-15 minutes before they can order. Meanwhile, some other places give out coupons and pens for customers to order while they wait. On the road less than 500 m long, there are more than 100 rows of food. Restaurants grow close to each other, so many restaurants have to hang signs asking customers to line up, not to jostle and stand neatly so as not to obscure the nearby restaurants. Ms. Hang (63 years old), owner of a smoothie shop at the night market of Ho Thi Ky, said the food court has just been opened for a few years and is getting more and more crowded. On weekends the number of visitors may be twice as much as normal days. From 17:00 to 22:00, the buyers overwhelmed the shop owners, making the shop owners unable to work, and had to call their family members to support. Regularly visiting the market every weekend with friends, Minh Thu (17 years old, Tan Binh district) is quite familiar with the shops here and carries a lot of “tips”. “We usually go in groups of 5-8 people so we split up to buy different shops to save time. For each shop, we only buy 1-2 servings to try many dishes and not get fed up quickly. Because the market is quite crowded, people also have to pay attention to preserving personal property, preventing pickpocketing and theft, “said Thu. Food in the market is plentiful, from playing dishes, appetizers to filling, desserts of many countries: Japan, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, China … All kinds of food and drinks are also bring the taste of many different provinces such as Hanoi, Hue, An Giang, Dong Nai. The price ranges from 15,000-85,000 VND / piece. The crowded market, narrow, so the location for customers to eat on the spot is also quite limited. Some shops clean the furniture in the house, while others take advantage of the sidewalk, some vacant land. Many shops lack seats for customers to sit on, only sell to buyers to take away.
