Fish Rolls, Hoang Ty Restaurant

Hoang Ty

My sister and her friends took me to this place and I was confused about the name because on the sign it said Trang Bang and I don't know what Trang Bang actually is. At this very busy local restaurant they serve a variety of food but by the way people were ordering, I reckon steamed snake head fish rolled in rice paper with over 10 different veggies is the most popular dish here. They also serve a special long round noodle with pork or pigs feet or normal noodles with Thac Lac fish.

The food was good but as usual with local restaurants the atmosphere was really noisy. I think it was worse than usual because it was June 1st, which is Childrens' Day in Vietnam. Lots of screaming kids running around.

At the finish of our meal, we only paid 270.000Vnd for six people, which included a few beers, soft drinks and dessert. I thought they had made a mistake but it was right. Another good thing about popular local food shops like this is that you don't need to make any reservations :)

Hi there,
Nice photos you have! Thanks for sharing, mmm, I'm missing the food back home so much. By the way, "Trang Bang" is the name of a small town in South Vietnam.

Trang Bang is a town in Tay Ninh province. It's famous for Banh Canh Trang Bang as you described as "long round noodle with pork"
