Street food Bun Bo Hue — the authentic version
The best Bun Bo Hue I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sweet and spiced intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. lemongrass was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
fresh herbs added at the table are a defining characteristic. The a street banh mi counter setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. fresh sugarcane juice was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
