Bun bo Hue is a typical dish of the ancient capital of Hue, available in many different provinces and cities. In Hanoi, to enjoy Bun bo Hue, diners can go to Bun bo Hue restaurant on Tran Thai Tong street (Cau Giay, Hanoi).
Mr. Doan Quang Cuong (Cau Giay, Hanoi) - owner of a Hue beef noodle shop, shared: "Most Hue beef noodle shops have three main ingredients: beef, shrimp paste and lemongrass. Depending on the place, the flavor can be different, some places have a strong smell of lemongrass, some places have a strong smell of beef".
The restaurant owner said that the secret to making a bowl of Hue beef noodle soup that suits Hanoian taste is the balance between the smell of lemongrass and shrimp paste. Hanoians usually do not like the smell of shrimp paste that is too strong, so he always prepares the broth to have a light taste but still retains the richness in each bowl of Hue beef noodle soup.
The restaurant's broth is simmered from beef bones for 20 hours, ensuring natural sweetness and delicious flavor. This is an important factor that creates the difference and quality of the dish, helping to attract diners.
According to Mr. Cuong, all the ingredients of the Hue beef noodle soup such as beef balls, crab balls, pig's ears, pig's feet... are all prepared by the owner himself. Because not only does the restaurant want to bring delicious food, it also focuses on ensuring the health of customers. In addition, lemongrass, salt and shrimp paste are all imported from Hue.
Mr. Pham Anh Quan (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi) - a regular customer of the restaurant, shared: "I have eaten Hue beef noodle soup many times at the restaurant. What impressed me most is the rich broth, the delicious ingredients are all fresh and clean. The Hue beef noodle soup here is full, suitable for my taste."
Ms. Vu Hoai Phuong (Cau Giay, Hanoi) - another diner, said: "The broth is sweet and just right for me. If anyone wants to eat it more flavorful, there are additional spices to eat with it."
The price of Hue beef noodle soup at the restaurant ranges from 30,000 - 65,000 VND/bowl. The restaurant has spacious and airy seating so that diners can enjoy the dish comfortably.
