District 7’s Guidebook
Food scene
A decent culinary delight near our apartment. By its name, this place serves one of the iconic Vietnamese dish - "Hủ Tiếu" - aka rice noodle. The popular crafted dish comes with tender pork, succulent shrimp, and fragrant spices. However, I strongly recommend you should try the Bone Marrow rice noodle (Hủ tiếu xương ống). You may have it in dried (khô) or in soup (nước). In dried, they'll separate the rice noodle and the soup (with bone marrow) in 2 different bowls. This would bring you a new fresh taste.

One of my favorite choice to eat Bún Bò Huế ("Hue beef noodle soup", a speciality of Huế province – former capital of Vietnam). When you come, just order a standard bowl. Don't forget to tell them to dip the vegetables quickly if you don't like raw. Here they also sell sugar cane juice. The price is around VND 50,000 per bowl.

This is one of my favorite spot to stop by. Black chicken (silkie) meat contains a lot of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
From personal experience, I usually order a hotpot (lẩu) (VND 150,000 - 200,000) for 2 people or noodles (mì) for 1 person. Stir-fried black chicken (balut) eggs with tamarind should be a great starter for the meal (trứng gà ác lộn xào me).

"Mì cay Seoul" refers to a popular Vietnamese dish that is inspired by Korean flavors, particularly the spicy and savory elements found in Korean cuisine. This dish combines Vietnamese and Korean culinary influences to create a flavorful and satisfying meal. Please note that the spicy level ranges from 1 to 7 with 7 is the spiciest (usually nobody can eat up to 7; the spiciest taster I've known so far is level 4). I personally eat level 0 (no spicy).
This place is a remark for spicy lover.
