Cao lầu, mì Quảng, and chicken rice make a compact study of how much a bowl can change without becoming complicated. These are three proper meals, so compare shared portions where possible or spread them over more than one outing. Follow each named branch rather than a similar sign. Dishes below are suggested orders. Check current menus and hours.
Follow the suggested order, at your own pace.
26 Thái Phiên
A note from Leo Park
At Cao Lầu Thanh on Thái Phiên, lift the noodles through the small amount of sauce at the bottom. Compare a strand on its own with a bite that includes pork and greens. The noodle’s firmness deserves attention before extra chilli arrives.
Keep a crisp topping aside for the last bite. Cao lầu is a useful lesson in chew, crunch and a little sauce.
6A Trương Minh Lượng
A note from Leo Park
Head to Ông Hai at 6A Trương Minh Lượng for mì Quảng. Choose it rather than another cao lầu so this stop brings something new. Ask which toppings are available and let the concentrated broth coat the broad noodles.
This is not a bowl that needs filling to the rim with soup. Taste how the small amount of broth seasons the noodles.
22 Phan Châu Trinh
A note from Leo Park
At Bà Buội on Phan Châu Trinh, begin with the yellow rice before combining the chicken and sharp accompaniments. It makes a useful final comparison with the two noodle dishes. Order to your appetite rather than treating the trail as a three-bowl challenge.
Try rice alone, then rice with chicken and herbs. The grains should matter as much as the meat.
Places change. Check current hours before a special detour.
