Bun at Ha Long - Irvine
It’s 101 degrees right now—too hot for pho.
Enter bun: The Vietnamese dish designed to beat muggy weather.
It’s basically a salad. A noodle salad.
Wiggly cool rice noodles topped with grill-charred pork and shrimp. Crispy egg rolls. Fresh herbs, bean sprouts, cucumbers, pickled carrots and daikon. And a fish-sauce dressing that ties it all together.
I ordered this refreshing supper a few weeks ago from Ha Long, a Vietnamese take-out joint located in an Irvine Company shopping center. I ate it next to a soothing fountain.
An appetizer of crispy tofu preceded it and their famous Black Sea drink finished it.
I have a mind to order it again today…but I think I’ll take it home to an air-conditioned room this time. Bun is cooling, but not THAT cooling!
