Hghway 4

Providing a memorable dining experience, this is the original location (inside a tottering old house) of an expanding family of restaurants that specialise in Vietnamese cuisine from the northern mountains. There’s an astounding array of dishes: from bite-sized snacks through to meaty dishes like lin luec mam tep (pork fillet with shrimp sauce) and true exotica like cha de men (meat patties with crickets…crunch!). Wash it all down with a bottle or two of delicious Son Tinh rice wine, which comes in flavours including mulberry and apricot. There is another branch away from the city centre, which has an atmospheric, sociable vibe, and decor that combines bamboo furnishings and low-level seating, as well as another two branches on Hang Tre.
