Chả Cá Thăng Long

Served over fire, the staff helps to cook it with lots of fresh vegetables and shows how to mix the soft springy rice vermicelli with nuts, spring onion, other greens, fish sauce and the fish together to make for a yummy enjoyable meal.
⚠️ Do note there is a min order of 1 portion/person. The kind waiter thankfully allowed us to negotiate down to 2 portions for 3 people which was just nice for us small eaters who also wanted to try other Hanoi delicacies.

It would be perfect if I have rice instead of rice noodles.

When they just opened for the day, there were already locals strolling into the restaurant (most brought their own drink 😉). By 12, the whole place was packed! Business was so good that they had to rent the shophouse beside.
The entire restaurant only served one dish - fried Cat Fish. Freshly filleted cat fish marinated with turmeric and salt. When the dish was served, the smell of the butter was insane! Mixed the rice noodle with vinegar and fish sauce, chilli, parsley, spring onion and roasted peanut then picked the fish of your choosing. If you are afraid to eat raw herby green, you could cook longer in the pan. I had no idea cat fish could taste this good!!!!! If you could only have one dish, just eat this!
