Bun Nuoc Leo Kim Tuyen

Tra Vinh


This unfancy local institution is known for its Tra Vinh speciality dish, bun nuoc leo, a Khmer-style, rice-noodle soup with Chinese and Vietnamese influences. Slices of juicy pork, crackling and all, arrive in paper, which you unwrap and slip into the soup of banana flowers and garlic chives in a broth of fermented fish, chicken, coconut juice and lemongrass. Heaven.
