Whether winter or summer, especially when the weather turns to autumn, famous snacks on Quang Trung street (Hanoi) are always a must-see destination.
Mentioning Khuc Bach sweet soup, many young people will immediately think of number 33 Quang Trung. Nguyen Thu Trang (Hoan Kiem ward, Hanoi) always puts this address in the list of must-try places.
I have been eating since the restaurant just opened a small restaurant in 2018, mainly selling and delivering goods, only adding about 3-4 seats and the menu only has exactly 2 dishes: sweet soup with Khuc Bach and fruit yogurt. Now it's super super crowded, sitting and eating for about 30 minutes and many shippers come to pick up orders," Ms. Trang shared.
As a person who is passionate about Khuc Bach sweet soup, even Trang gropes at home to make it. "I like it, so if any restaurant has Khuc Bach sweet soup, I have to go to taste it immediately. Khuc Bach sweet soup here is always in the top 3 of my Khuc Bach sweet soup restaurants," Ms. Trang said with a smile.
The white segment has moderate softness and viscosity, avoiding being soft or easily flowing, still with a slight firmness.
With the experience of making Khuc Bach sweet soup at home many times, the ingredients are quality whipping cream from the restaurant, ensuring enough quantity. 1 bowl has both a lot of Khuc Bach and a lot of longan, the flesh is thick and juicy, sweet. But the sugar water is sweet and clear, not harsh, not sticky, adding ice makes the feeling more sweet and cool", Ms. Trang described.
Besides Khuc Bach sweet soup, almost everyone who comes to the shop will order an extra portion of grilled rice paper or rolled rice paper.
Nguyen Thanh Tam (Xuan Phuong ward, Hanoi) - said: "My taste is grilled rice paper, eating a bowl of sweet soup is already quite full, so I only crave the feeling of chewing crispy and hot".
And for those who crave the cool, lingering flavor of "tau pho", just go to the opposite side of the road at 28 Quang Trung.
Tao pho here is diverse in age and love, I brought my mother here to eat and was also mesmerized. Every time they remind me to buy it or turn over if I go to the street area. Prices are affordable, only from 14,000 - 25,000 VND/bowl, depending on the choice of fillings such as: pearls, agar jelly, lotus, red beans, longan,...", shared Minh Hoang - a customer who just enjoyed his favorite dish.
Besides tofu pudding, there are diverse types of cakes. Soft and fresh cheese sandwiches, sweet cheese, melting in the mouth with a little chewy jambon. A few fragrant, crispy yellow newspapers. The restaurant also has chicken drumsticks, vegetarian buns dipped in milk that are both familiar and strange.
Summer and autumn, dishes that both evoke childhood memories and have a modern touch become a familiar choice for people and tourists when visiting Quang Trung street. Each dish has a different flavor, from the refreshing, soft and crunchy of tofu pudding, sweet soup with white segments to the crispy and hot taste of grilled rice paper, creating diverse culinary experiences in the heart of Hanoi.
When winter comes, the above gifts are also switched to warm versions, suitable for chilly weather.
