No place sells as many beef as the An Duong Vuong area
Looking around this road, it’s only about 500 meters, but everywhere you can see cars selling cows. But the most crowded place is still the beautiful little beef cart on the side of the Pedagogical University. The car is small, mainly for take-out, but if diners want, there are still a few seats to sit back. Customers come to buy new rolls, so they will wait a bit to have a portion, but if you get what you like to eat, just tell her to roll according to your preferences. Because of the immediate business, each roll is also hot, including steamed vegetables, cassava roots, sausages and soy sauce. It’s that simple but very catchy. Although the beef roll is not rich, thanks to the special dipping sauce, there are all kinds of side dishes such as roasted peanuts, fried onions, and sour food, so the beef is even more delicious.

Although it is just a sidewalk restaurant, the irresistible aroma of the quail stir-fried with tamarind is what makes many young people unable to refuse.
Catching the eyes of diners is the rich, thick tamarind sauce, each quail egg looks extremely attractive. The main product is a dish of iridescent brown quail, covered with a layer of fat-crushed peanuts and crispy fried onions. This dish is playful, but the more you eat it, the more addicted you become because of the sour taste of the sauce.
Dried squid with fish sauce – a very “roll” play dish for young people
Regular customers here often say that this is a dried squid dish “due to eating and drinking” because you don’t have to have money to buy it because it will take a long time to wait. Even the shop owner seems “afraid” to sell this dish for fear of customers having to wait. However, because of the deliciousness of the dried squid with fish sauce that she made, many diners still waited patiently to enjoy. And the fruit dish does not drink the customers “begged” her to sell it because the dried squid is fragrant, biting into it is crispy and has a strong flavor of butter and garlic fish sauce. Buy a few more cans of water and you can sit back and forth until morning because it’s super delicious.
The “national” snack on skewers of fried fish sauce is crowded with people waiting
This fried ball car is a dish that many young people “look forward to” eating this new fish ball with fish sauce. Before the sale, there were a lot of people standing in line first to win a seat, during the sale, the buyer would take a bowl to choose what they wanted to eat and then leave the counter in order to wait for the fried. This fish ball dish is usually processed up to 2 times. After frying the fish balls until golden, the seller will stir-fry them with okra, minced garlic, and chili fish sauce until the fish sauce is thick and evenly coated on the fish balls.
There is one thing that can’t be found anywhere else is the crispy fried shrimp with fish balls. The dipping sauce here has two types: black sauce, chili sauce with a little mayonnaise and especially the spicy “exclusive” chili salt sauce that is nowhere to be found.
When the street lights were turned on, the surrounding area resounded with the sound of cheerful cooking and the lively and lively conversation of friends. Eating together, “eight” a few stories and then watching the streets, nothing can be more wonderful.
