The city of Ho Chi Minh (formerly known as Saigon) is a treasure trove of fantastic food, with the bustling streets full of stalls where you can pick up anything from a quick snack to a full-blown meal. To start we’ve got grilled chicken flavoured with Chinese five spice, served with a refreshing salad and a chilli and garlic sauce known as tuong ot xa. For the main we’ve got bun rieu - a spicy crab and tomato broth - flavoured with fragrant lemongrass and topped with peppery annatto oil, which is a bit like an aromatic Vietnamese bouillabaisse. To round things off are some sesame donuts with fresh banana and condensed milk.

Really delicious soup. Such a simple combination of ingredients but a really tasty finished dish. The salad with the starter was really fresh and light also.

Your bun rieu looks delicious, Clair - hearty and wholesome, packed with fragrant flavours!
