Quy Nhon Fish Cake Noodle Soup

Visiting Quy Nhon without tasting a piping hot bowl of fish cake noodle soup (Bun Cha Ca) means missing out on the true spirit of local coastal cuisine.

The defining element is the crystal-clear, naturally sweet broth slow-simmered for hours from sailfish and mackerel bones, flavored with ripe tomatoes, pineapples, and shallots.

Hand-kneaded fish cakes made from fresh mackerel or barracuda are fried to golden perfection or steamed until tender. Bowls are garnished with herbs, shredded banana blossom, and fiery Central chili paste.
