Sobre este Tip
Bún cá cay is a bowl of noodles in a fish-bone and pork-bone broth, topped with fried fish, fish cake and a streak of red chili sauce. Several noodle shops sit along Lê Lợi and Lạch Tray in Ngô Quyền, close to the old centre. The broth is already spicy, so add the chili sauce a little at a time and taste as you go.
