NOTES: Bun Rieu

Tonight, I went home to eat dinner with my parents and cousins. We had my mom's curry, but what I really wanted was bun rieu, otherwise known as crab noodle soup. Bun rieu is a Vietnamese meal in a bowl type dish. I have posted a picture below of my aunt's version. Her version is so good because she uses fresh crabs for the meat. One restaurant on Bellaire, across from the Hong Kong Market outside the beltway,serves the best Houston version of this fantastic dish. I'll review the restaurant one day SOOOON!

Noodlepie has an excellent article on this dish.
