There is no one in Hanoi who doesn't know about vermicelli along Ngo Sy Lien's day. The vermicelli shop is famous not with the name "Noodles curse Ngo Sy Lien" but because of the special flavor of the broth, the sweetness of the pork and the strange aroma of the sauce made from chili garlic soy sauce. Hanoians remember the noodle shop for its enchanting taste more than the hot-tempered but kind owner.

This is a noodle shop at 41 Ngo Si Lien of Ms. Han Kim Thao, now more than 60 years old, but still very agile, resourceful and still cooks noodles every day to sell to customers. It is not too difficult to find this address because the shop is very crowded and it is easy to recognize the famous owner in newspapers, on television or CNN, the owner of the restaurant "vermicelli"

The shop only serves a single noodle dish, which is pork vermicelli (pork) cooked with bamboo vermicelli (mint). Diners can order a bowl of vermicelli filled with meat, nails, tongue, ribs along the mosquito net or order vermicelli noodles (separate vermicelli, separate broth and a plate of meat or tongue and nails boiled separately depending on taste).

Ordering a full bowl of vermicelli is only 40,000 VND but extremely full to make you full. Pieces of meat, tongue or ribs are sliced big and thick, not thin like in other places. On hot summer days, diners often order vermicelli noodles to reduce the feeling of heat. A plate of meat is heated through the broth and cooked along with a special dipping sauce made from chili garlic soy sauce that will make you constantly stir.

The majority of diners commented that the vermicelli was soft, the broth had a beautiful yellow color and was crunchy, without itching when eating. The broth is sweet and rich, if you pay close attention, you will notice the taste of turmeric. In addition, the meat sauce is a bit strange, the bowl of vermicelli here is very good value for money.

When you watch some clips online, you will probably feel a little embarrassed and afraid when coming here to eat noodles for fear of being scolded. However, in fact, when you come here, you will see that the owner does not scold as much, only when it is too crowded and the customers ask too much, she will speak louder, which for those of you who are used to Dedicated service, treating customers as "gods" of other places will not be familiar, or maybe after being interviewed on CNN, the hostess has also changed and refrained from scolding.

But for Hanoians, who have become regular customers of the shop, it is strange that the owner's curse is very normal, even when someone comes to the shop without hearing the curse. They come here to enjoy delicious food, satisfy their hungry stomach as a habit for a long time.

Some points you need to pay attention to when you want to come here to try it is that the restaurant is usually very crowded, so the atmosphere seems quite messy and noisy, moreover the parking space is quite difficult, often there is no parking space and no parking space. The person who looks after you to eat but always has to worry about your car. Another point is that you will have to wait for the food for a long time, usually it will take 15-20 minutes to have it.

Although there are quite a few things that make you worry when coming here to eat, but to enjoy a super delicious and quality noodle dish, it is worth coming to try once.
