With additions like shrimp, tomatoes, and okra, Canh Chua offers a warming embrace on a chilly autumn day.
Cao Lau: A Hoi An Specialty
Originating from the ancient town of Hoi An, Cao Lau is a dish that boasts rich flavors and an intriguing history. This hearty noodle dish features thick rice noodles topped with slices of savory barbecued pork, fresh herbs, and crispy croutons. The secret to its unique taste lies in the lye water used to prepare the noodles, which gives them a distinct texture. Cao Lau is a delightful way to warm up and enjoy the season.
Bo Kho: A Hearty Beef Stew

This dish is a comforting blend of tender beef chunks simmered with aromatic spices such as star anise and cinnamon. Served with crusty French bread or rice noodles, Bo Kho is perfect for those seeking a hearty meal that packs a flavorful punch.
