"You’ll spot many orders of bun rieu, a vividly red crab-tomato soup brimming with crab meatballs, tofu, and pork blood, going around this pint-sized restaurant. But since the owners hail from the Mekong Delta region, you might want to try their personal specialty: bun nuoc leo tra vinh, which stars a clear and pungent fermented fish broth, topped with pork and seafood. Miền Tây is also a good spot to try banh bot chien, an ideal drinking snack of fried rice cakes with egg." - Janelle Bitker
