If you don't mind trying street food and you have only 10,000Vnd in your pocket, then this lunch is for you. That's fried tofu with noodles. This is served at a very popular place in Phat Loc lane near the corner of Hang Be, Hang Bac and Hang Mam street. There's no air conditioning but an old electric fan hanging on the wall is included with the price :) The sauce may be a problem for you. It is a smelly shrimp sauce which I love but I know many westerners don't like it and prefer normal fish sauce.

This is always my favourite !!!
Eat with "bún" and " mắm tôm" is the best!!!
dau hu is always the best
Engjoy reading your blog tremendously. I have learned so much about my country from your blog. I left Saigon in 1971 and haven't been back since then. Everything is changing in a better way especially the food industry. I miss having a bowl of hot "pho," or "bun bo" in the morning, noon and night not to mention "street food". If I ever have chance to return home I will definitely look you up for info and direction. Thanks and keep up the good work. TNphuonglan
I never tried fried tofu but I don't mind eating from a street vendor and all the food in your pictures looks good. I must be hungry so, I'm off to go find something to eat.

Abandoned in Pasadena thanks.
love fried, pungently shrimp sauce sounds a good match!!!
in singapore, we love fried tofu stuffed with bean sprouts, shredding cucumbers & drizzle dark sweet & pungently aromatic shrimp paste over it.
stinking tofu, it's pungently aromatic as well. heavenly smell once cooked but you may like to think twice about doing yourself at home, it stink my kitchen for a day or two :P
