1. Lê Hằng - Bún Chả & Bún Nem
If you find yourself on Pháo Đài Láng and unsure what to have for lunch, head to Lê Hằng and enjoy a bowl of bún chả nem. This dish includes grilled pork and crispy nem (spring rolls) freshly made on-site, ensuring a hot, crunchy, and flavorful meal. The quality of the dish really depends on the dipping sauce, which is served warm with a perfect balance of sweet and sour, complemented by pickled vegetables, creating a light and satisfying meal.
The restaurant is also praised for its clean environment, quick and friendly service. As you approach, the mouth-watering aroma of grilled pork will definitely entice you. However, due to its popularity, the place tends to get crowded, and parking can be a bit tricky due to the narrow alley. For an affordable price, you can enjoy a plate of rice with grilled meat, pork skin, cha (pâté), and a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg. The rich yolk adds a creamy texture that makes the dish even more appealing.
