When I mention Vietnamese food, what comes to mind? Probably Pho and Spring Rolls. But many would say they prefer its tastier but less well known cousin, Bun Cha. I ate my way through Hanoi, Vietnam and tried 3 of the highly rated Bun Cha outlets. All of them were great. But each has its own variation in terms of the depth of flavor, the smokiness of the BBQ pork and the balance of sweet and savory. I interviewed Ha, the owner of Bun Cha Ta, whose restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide. She shows us how to eat Bun Cha like a local.
