Went on a hunt to find a restaurant that serves bun bo hue, and I must say that I was very disappointed.
Bun bo hue visually looked fine, but upon tasting it, the soup was VERY sour. Not knowing too much about my Vietnamese culture, I thought that it was perhaps a different style of the dish that I've never tried before. I've only had BBH from two places; my mom's house and a street vendor in my mother's hometown near Saigon. Both had a balanced taste of spicy, salty, and sour which I understood to be the norm.
I asked my mother about it when I got home and she told me that the BBH that I was served today possibly went bad and that's why it tastes so sour. I felt completely let down and insulted that they would serve an old dish like that. Never going back.
