Banh Canh Cha Ca Authentic Vietnamese Thick Noodle Soup, Very Delicious

When it comes to authentic Vietnamese food that mr.hotsia had the chance to taste from a small street in Northern Vietnam, one menu that impressed me greatly isBanh Canh Cha Caor fried fish thick noodle soup, whose flavor and texture of the noodles and broth are so satisfying that I want to share it with friends to try.

Once I traveled not far from Lạng Sơn Province, which although not specified exactly, the atmosphere of this city made me truly feel the essence of authentic Vietnam. Lạng Sơn, where I stayed in 2015, is a small city with the Ky Cung River flowing through the center. The surroundings are full of mountains and lush greenery. I stayed at Hoang Son Hotel, costing about 600 baht per night, located downtown and very close to the market.

On the day I passed through the morning market, I caught the fragrant aroma of fish broth wafting throughout the area. The Banh Canh Cha Ca shop I found was a small roadside stall. The thick noodles used in this dish are thicker and chewier than regular rice noodles, served with crispy yet tender fried fish pieces, topped with a clear broth seasoned perfectly with Vietnamese spices and herbs.

What makes Banh Canh Cha Ca different from other thick noodle soups is the meticulous selection of ingredients and seasoning. The broth I tasted was neither greasy nor too salty but had a balanced flavor with fresh ginger and basil aroma. When I sipped the broth along with the chewy noodles, it felt like tasting authentic Vietnam that you rarely find in big cities or regular restaurants.

Interestingly, the way Banh Canh Cha Ca is served usually includes dried shrimp and fried shallots sprinkled on top to add fragrance and texture. Some shops also offer fresh herbs like culantro, mint leaves, and fresh bean sprouts to enhance freshness and flavor variety in one dish.

mr.hotsia recommends that when visiting Northern Vietnam, don't miss the chance to try this dish because it reflects a simple yet profound eating culture and is a great energy booster for days spent exploring cities and nature around.

Traveling and Eating in Northern Vietnam

For travelers interested in trying Banh Canh Cha Ca, besides Lạng Sơn, Northern Vietnam has other cities and provinces with similar eateries. However, in Lạng Sơn, I truly felt the local authenticity that preserves the traditional flavors well.

From my experience, traveling in Northern Vietnam requires good preparation for the weather. Summers can be hot and humid, while the rainy season offers cooler, more comfortable weather ideal for sightseeing and enjoying local food.
