#08 of my top ten favorite Vietnamese dishes: Bún riêu (cua)

My Mum used to prepare this yummy dish when our family was still complete :-( but I haven't eaten this soup for a few years now.

Bún riêu cua is a crab noodle soup which is commonly served with tomato broth and topped with crab or shrimp paste (mắm ruốc or mắm tôm, whose smell is pretty "intense" to European noses). 

The vermicelli noodles are made of rice and thin, and the unmissable vegetables and herbs comprise lightly blanched bean sprouts, followed by finely shredded water spinach, banana flower, and peppery perilla leaves.

Well, you best eat this dish SLURPING.
