1. Bà Thành’s Pickled Salad
If you're ever unsure about what to eat for a quick snack, Mytour highly recommends heading straight to Bà Thành’s Dry Beef Salad. Trust Mytour, this will be one of the best bowls of dry beef salad you've ever had.
The ingredients here are similar to those at other dry beef salad stalls. However, what makes it unique is the use of beef liver instead of spleen, shrimp crackers replacing the usual puffed crackers, and a family tradition of making this dish for over 53 years.
The shrimp crackers are incredibly crispy, with whole shrimp inside, and even after soaking in the pickling vinegar for a while, they stay crunchy. The beef and beef liver are equally delicious, flavorful, and tender, with the perfect balance of chewy beef and the rich, aromatic flavor of the liver. I’m especially addicted to the shop’s vinegar, which isn’t too spicy, sour, or sweet, but perfectly balanced, enhancing the salad to a whole new level, so much so that many visitors finish the broth entirely.
Operating as a family business for 53 years, every ingredient is freshly prepared and cooked by the family, giving a cozy, homey feeling in every bite of beef and salad. Despite being a small spot with a few plastic tables and a wooden counter nestled between Lý Thường Kiệt and Phạm Hồng Thái, the restaurant is always bustling with customers during peak hours. The salad is not only delicious but also affordable, costing just 15,000 VND per serving, packed as shown in the picture.
Additionally, the roasted pigeon here is quite famous. Though it's a bit pricier than other places (25,000 VND each), the quality is exceptional. The pigeons are large, marinated with betel leaves, and roasted to perfection, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma. The meat is tender and juicy, not dry at all, and the dipping sauce is legendary—absolutely delicious.
