Not far from Bến Thành market there is one store selling Northern rice noodles called "bún Mọc" - very crowded, especially between 8-10 AM. And the stall opens only until noon!
I've been there few times and it's good! But I don't like when it's crowded, so my best advise better go there early in the morning - around 6-7 or 11 but don't be too late otherwise you may stuck in the new crowd for lunch!
What's "bún Mọc"?
Originated from a Northern village called "Nhân Mục" near to Hà Nội, the name "mọc" come from two pieces of pounded pork paste - one deep-fried, one cooked, in this noodles. Both are good, very tasty!
I didn't have a chance to try bún mọc in Hà Nội, esp. in the original village so I have no idea how to compare the taste, but I heard from my acquaintance who is from Hà Nội and a good cook, he said "bún mọc" here at this store is good but not the same (authentic!) as the one in Hà Nội!
