Behind the Dish

This is Hanoi in a bite—chaotic, alive, and absolutely perfect in its imperfection. A street-side legend reimagined our way. Catfish marinated in turmeric, dill, and garlic — fried until golden brown. Then comes the hit: a pineapple nuoc mam sauce that’s sweet, salty, sour, and fiery all at once. The kind of sauce that grabs you by the collar and won’t let go. Peanuts for crunch, herbs for lift—it’s the kind of dish that makes you understand why people fall in love with food in the first place.
