Bún Chả
Hot smoky charred pork cakes. A mellow broth with a hint of sweetness. A mountain of rice noodles, and a plate with a pile of fresh herbs. Complete the picture with fumes of pain wafting from a scary giant bowl of mashed chilis and garlic. Put it all together and you get Bún Cha Quat Dong Xuân. A popular spot is in the Hoan Kiem area, on Hang Manh, but the name comes from the Dong Xuan market area, so you can find it at a few different stalls in the area.
