Oyster rice and noodles, or Cơm Hến, sweet soups, Nam Pho bánh canh (thick noodle soup) and dumplings are among the must-try dishes offered at very low prices.
For a traditional Hue taste for oyster rice, add rousong, pork rind, peanuts, and chili, and mix with slices of star fruit, pickled cabbage and fresh herbs.
