Hu tieu is a familiar and very popular dish in most southern provinces. Located on Hung Vuong Street, District 5, Ca Can hu tieu is known as one of the most delicious and expensive hu tieu restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ca Can hu tieu has been around for over 50 years but still retains the traditional flavor of My Tho hu tieu. The restaurant attracts hundreds of diners every day thanks to its famous hu tieu and dumpling dishes.
The most famous dish in Ca Can is the dry rib hu tieu. The hu tieu here are made from pure rice flour, so they are chewy, soft, and not mushy like hu tieu at other restaurants.
A portion of Hu Tieu will have a variety of toppings, full of minced meat, shrimp, quail eggs, fish cakes... Minced meat is seasoned moderately, fresh shrimp, fatty quail eggs, chewy fish cakes, all mixed with a special sweet and sour sauce mixed according to the restaurant's own recipe to create an attractive, delicious flavor that conquers even the most demanding taste buds. In addition, the restaurant also sprinkles a little bit of dried shrimp with garlic on top to create a special highlight for the dish.
Besides, the broth is the soul of hu tieu Ca Can. The broth at the restaurant is simmered from pork bones and dried shrimp, bringing a rich, sweet flavor that is very delicious. The ribs are simmered over a long heat, so they retain their sweetness and are soft and easy to eat.
This is the favorite dining place of Tran Thanh and Hari Won. Even though they are famous artists, they still do not hesitate to sit on the sidewalk late at night just to enjoy the famous Hu Tieu dish.
"The meat is very soft and delicious, the cartilage is also soft so when I eat it, I feel so delicious that I want to "go crazy", Hari Won commented on the ribs in the hu tieu.
In addition, Tran Thanh's wife also thinks that this hu tieu dish has an easy-to-eat sauce, suitable for Korean taste.
Besides Hu Tieu, the restaurant is famous for its char siu bao with soft crust, rich filling and also served with a "unique" sweet and sour sauce that cannot be found in other restaurants.
A portion of Hu Tieu here costs about 70,000 VND. This price is quite a bit higher than other restaurants, but in return, diners will enjoy a large portion of Hu Tieu with a delicious and unforgettable flavor.
