"On a rainy winter afternoon, I was craving a hot and comforting bowl of soup. As I debated between ramen, udon, and pho, I stumbled upon a hu tieu restaurant. I decided to go for the hu tieu, and my order came quickly with a side plate of bean sprouts, pickled jalapeños, garlic, and lemon wedges. The condiments on the table included fish sauce, hoisin, and sriracha. I opted for my broth to be served in my bowl, which was filled with pork slices and shrimp. Though I wished my bowl had been served hotter, the broth was flavorful and not too salty. The authentic Vietnamese vibe of the restaurant was enhanced by the music, chatter of locals, and families gathered together at multiple tables. If you're in the mood for a taste of Vietnam, I recommend trying Hu Tieu My Tho."
