The Vietnamese colocasia gigantea noodle soup restaurant at the beginning of Chua Lang street, at the intersection with Lang street (Dong Da, Hanoi) is a familiar destination for many diners thanks to the delicious taste of hot bowls of noodles.
Ms. Tran Thi Lien (Dong Da, Hanoi) - the owner of the restaurant, said that to cook a delicious bowl of Vietnamese colocasia gigantea noodle soup requires many factors, but the most important is still the fresh ingredients and the way to prepare the colocasia gigantea.
“If you don’t know how to colocasia gigantea, it will easily make your tongue itchy. I am very careful when cooking noodles for customers. When I get colocasia gigantea home, I usually blanch it in boiling water, then soak it thoroughly in salt water and rinse it many times,” Ms. Lien shared.
The owner said that for the broth, she cooks it entirely from bones, pork and trotters to create a natural sweetness. The broth is usually simmered from 3pm to 6am the next morning.
The bowl of water spinach noodle soup at Ms. Lien's restaurant has a rich broth, small, chewy, flavorful noodles, and soft water spinach that is delicious to eat. In addition, the meat and pig's feet still retain the right amount of chewiness and softness. All the ingredients in the bowl of colocasia gigantea noodle soup blend together harmoniously.
Ms. Lien's restaurant serves a variety of types of colocasia gigantea noodle soup such as: colocasia gigantea noodle soup with pig's feet, colocasia gigantea noodle soup with pork knuckles, colocasia gigantea noodle soup with pork ribs... The restaurant usually opens from 7am and sells until sold out.
Mr. Nguyen Van Luc (Dong Da, Hanoi) has been a regular customer of the restaurant for nearly a year.
“The restaurant’s broth is rich but still maintains a moderate clarity. The restaurant’s colocasia gigantea is carefully prepared, so I feel safe when eating it. Many places are not careful, and customers get itchy after eating it, which is a very uncomfortable feeling,” Mr. Luc shared.
Ms. Le Anh Thu (Cau Giay, Hanoi) visited the restaurant for the first time to enjoy bun doc mung with friends.
“A friend introduced me to this colocasia gigantea noodle soup restaurant. I found the noodles here to be quite tasty. However, the shop is quite small and you have to look closely to find it,” said Ms. Anh Thu.
