Not your typical Vietnamese 🇻🇳 pho, but family meal style Hai Phong Region’s cuisine flavours. Square Crab Spring Rolls, Rice Field Crab Hot Pot, Bun Ca with Snails Vermicelli Soup, Squid Cakes, ả Thịt Heo Quấn Lá Lốt Pork Rolls, Steamed Rice Rolls, Cà Phê Trứng Egg Coffee, etc ... Each and every Northern Vietnamese dish we ordered was flavorful authentic fresh and so delicious 😋
