Bun dau mam tom is Hanoi's most divisive dish: cubed fried tofu and rice noodles served with boiled pork, fried pork roll and a small pink dip of mam tom.
Bun dau mam tom is an old Hanoi street dish, traditionally a lunchtime worker's meal of cheap protein and pungent dip. Fermented shrimp paste (mam tom) is the defining flavour and the dividing one: Hanoians love it, outsiders often need a few attempts. Counters like Bun Dau Co Tuyen on Hang Khay serve the dish to Old Quarter regulars from morning to past midnight.
