Unforgettable taste

I still clearly remember the feeling of taking a spoonful of thick broth. The sweet taste of fresh mussels blends with the fatty taste of onion fat, the spicy taste of chili and the sour taste of raw vegetables to create a unique symphony of flavors. The rice grains are soft, saturated with spices, served with fresh raw vegetables and crispy rice paper, it is truly a wonderful experience.

Cozy space

I often choose small mussel rice restaurants, located deep in small alleys, to enjoy this dish. The space of the restaurant is simple but very cozy, imbued with the traditions of Hoi An. Sitting at the small dining table, sipping a bowl of hot mussel rice, feels like returning to childhood.
