Bún bò Huế
A couple of months ago I travelled to Vietnam – Some of my most memorable dishes were Bún bò Huế. The Bún bò Huế served on the side of the roads by some seriously skilled chefs that pour their heart and soul into that one dish. In vietnam the dish has everything, strong, bold and aromatic spicy broth and an assortment of toppings – congealed blood, vietnamese ham (Chả lụa) and my favourite which is impossible to find in Australia – thinly chopped banana flower!
For the past few years it’s been one of my missions to find Australia/Melbourne’s leading Bun Bo Hue so whenever I see it present on a menu named Bún bò Huế and not “SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP” I make an effort to order it, even if in the instance of Thanh NGA Nine they have a bunch of other delicious options like Banh Canh Cua (Crab Soup). The soup came out to my table after a while and I was faced with some grisly pieces of beef and pork and some thickly cut vietnamese ham. Unfortunately these ingredients compared to nearby restaurants were on the lower end of the quality spectrum. I appreciated the amount of coriander and spring onion that was layered on top of the broth but that was where it all ended for me. I’m a bit of an odd type, I like my viet soup with egg noodles if the option is there, I just love the consistency and bouncy texture of them. They were completely overcooked here and very soggy. Perhaps I caught the restaurant on a bad day but the broth lacked the aromatic lemongrass tinged flavour that I have come to expect from the dish. When I eat BBH I want to be having a textured somewhat murky umami laden experience but this just didn’t quite cut it, the broth was way too clean and clear to be of any significance. I’m keen to head back to Thanh NGA Nine, not for their Bun Bo Hue but to try their other dishes as it was busy and I left questioning myself and wondering if my soup detector was off this evening.
Comment below if you have a favourite restaurant for the delicious Bún bò Huế and help me find the one!!
