Best Bún Bò Huế (Da Nang style) in Da Nang

Bún Bò Huế is the spicy and aromatic king of the central noodle scene, a dish that was born in the imperial kitchens of Hue but has been perfected in the high-energy stalls of Da Nang. The soul of the dish is its multi-layered broth, which is simmered for hours with beef bones, lemongrass, and a generous amount of spicy chili oil and fermented shrimp paste. Unlike Pho, the noodles are thick, cylindrical, and exceptionally springy, topped with tender beef shank, slices of 'Chả Huế' (Hue-style ham), and sometimes a cube of congealed pig's blood. In Da Nang, it is served with a mountain of fresh banana blossoms and bean sprouts that provide a cooling crunch to the spicy broth. The trap is a 'weak' or overly oily broth; it must have a clean, citrusy lemongrass aroma and a deep, complex savoriness that lingers with every bite.
