From the Hell to the Heaven - Cơm Âm phủ

Rice from the Hell (cơm Âm phủ) starting as a street food for the poor in Huế (Central Việt Nam) in  very old days, now becomes a nicely presented dish at many fancy restaurants in Sài gòn. 

That's why "right from the Hell to the Heaven" but not one step! Century! 

I've been to Huế - our former capital only once or twice! I don't have any special feelings to this city, probably because the charm from the old times has gone with new urban planning. I heard from my cousin who used to live in Huế for long, many Flame trees (Flamboyant - cây Phượng vĩ) have been cut, many charming streets were extended...the city has changed. 

Rice from the Hell 
And I found different stories about "Rice from the Hell".

Nice mix of different ingredients, different colors and served with spicy fish sauce (7 ingredients: rice, egg, 3 kinds of pork meat, shrimp and cucumber)
