Delicious Snail Noodles – A Change of Taste for Breakfast in Da Nang

If you're used to bún bò, mì Quảng or bún chả, trying a change of taste with bún ốc (snail noodle soup) is actually quite interesting. A steaming hot bowl of noodles, rich flavorful broth, crunchy snails eaten together with fried tofu and fresh herbs, plus a bit of shrimp paste, is exactly the right combo 😋

What I like most is that the snails are well-cleaned, crunchy to eat, and not fishy at all, combined with a broth that has a light, slightly tangy flavor, which makes it quite addictive to eat. The vermicelli is soft, the toppings are just enough, so a bowl in the morning is fairly filling without being too greasy.

If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add shrimp paste, chili, or lemon, and mix it well to completely change the taste. Especially for those who enjoy dishes with Northern Vietnamese flavors, snail rice noodles is definitely worth trying.

In Da Nang, there are currently quite a few places selling bun oc (snail noodle soup), among which Tay Ho Quan, Hung Thu, and Bun Rieu Cua Oc Hong Tu are the names that many people are talking about.

📍 If you like Northern-style snail noodles, you can refer to:

A dish that's not too fussy, but the more you eat, the more addictive it gets. If you're a bún ốc (snail noodle soup) lover, save this post so you can try it sometime! ❤️
