Summary:
One of my favorites from Vietnam - banh beo. Essentially, it's fried pork rind on a rice cake, but it's oh so good. If I recall, this small restaurant only had a few items on their menu, but every patron in there had stacks of these small plates. It comes with a fish sauce, which you spoon onto the rice cake and then scoop the whole thing out. I actually found a restaurant in San Jose that serves it, but it isn't as good as the one from here.
*I'd recommend visiting this restaurant earlier in the day, before it gets dark. It's hidden in an alleyway, quite far from touristy areas, so it was hard to get a taxi.
