One Bowl of CAO LAU From Noodle Basket to the Table | Vietnamese Street Food

A two-hour crawl that starts inside an old house with one bowl of cao lau from start to finish - brown noodles from the basket into the pot, char siu sliced by hand, a ladle of sauce, herbs and crisp crackers. Then a whole market hall stall by stall - che, banh beo, banh can and rice paper rolls - a ring of bun bo hue pots with crab cakes on red broth, and a beef skillet that comes to the table still spitting. No narration, no staging - just the food and the sound of the street.
