Went off to try the relatively new Co Nga Crab Noodles House for their Banh Canh Cua. It’s just a short walk down the same street as Banh Mi Thit!

This was $18 a bowl for half a Sri Lankan crab, and there’s also the whole crab or no crab options. The broth that was made with lots of dried shrimps had a thicker and slightly stickier consistency than the type we’re more familiar with, but we still found it enjoyable. Crab was fresh and sweet, and surprisingly had quite a lot of roe! The thick tapioca noodles were smooth with a bit of a chew, while other ingredients you’ll find inside are shimeiji mushrooms, sliced pork, pork rib, Vietnamese fish cakes & a quail egg. You don’t really have to worry about the trouble of deshelling the crab as they came partially deshelled, hence easier to eat! I’d be back to have this again, but probably just the normal bowl that comes with prawns.
