Bún Thang · Hanoi
Bun thang is Hanoi's ceremonial noodle soup: a clear chicken-and-shrimp broth ladled over rice vermicelli with shredded chicken, omelette, Vietnamese ham.
Bun thang originated as a Tet leftover dish in 19th-century Hanoi: a way to use cured pork, chicken stock and any garnish in the larder after the New Year feast. The dish became an everyday lunch in the 20th century. Ha Thanh Mansion plates it in a Bib Gourmand setting; Old Quarter family kitchens like the Quan Thuy chain still serve the traditional version.
