Friendly 2 Pub and Restaurant in Hue, Vietnam

One of the restaurants that i think should be recommended to the readers is Friendly 2 Pub and Restaurant in Hue, Vietnam. The specialty of the restaurant is local Hue cuisine. The address of this restaurant is 27, Vo Thi Sau Street, Hue, Vietnam. Telephone no. is 054-240506. The whole restaurant is run by the family members, notably the dishes are all prepared by the sisters.

Recommended dishes are:


Banh Beo (20,000 VND) - This used to be a favorite of past kings. Always a treat during Vietnamese parties. Quarter sized rice cakes topped with crispy chopped shrimps and pork melt in your mouth.



Banh Loc (15,000 VND) - Banana leaf wrapped Loc cake. This dish is hard to prepare. Clear chewy tapioca is wrapped around pieces of pork and shrimp. The flour must be just right so that the right consistency is reached.



Ca Basa Kho To (35,000 VND) - Basa fish (belongs to catfish family found in Mekong River) cooked in the hot pot. The sauce is particularly tasty and the texture of the fish is just right.



Beef Grilled Over Charcoals (30,000 VND)

Other dishes on the menu are:

1. Banh Khoai (10,000 VND) - Vietnamese pancake. A crunchy yellow shell folded over bean sprouts, eggs, tofu and pork. This is delicious when combined with locally grown lettuce.

2. Banh Nam (15,000 VND) - Leaf wrapped with Nam cake. Open up the steamy leaf and scoop out the mixture of rice flour, shrimp and herbs. Dip in the spicy sauce and enjoy.

3. Muc Chien Nhoi Thit (35,000 VND) - Squid stuffed with spiced ground pork.
