When it comes to Vietnamese noodle soups, of which there are many, bun rieu is the star. The mixture of toppings and the tangy broth, along with all the condiments and fresh garnishes was extraordinarily delicious. There's nothing like sitting around a small plastic table at a street food stall enjoying a big bowl of crab noodles in the cool weather. The fermented shrimp paste, the spiced minced crab, the tangy lime, and the fresh herbs create a “party in your mouth”. (Photo: giavi.net)
