Travel to Saigon: Eating the famous Lunch Lady’s noodle soup

It was my bro-in-law’s first time to Vietnam, so naturally, I took him to the Lunch Lady so he could have the quintessential Vietnam street food experience. Both he and the hubs loved the noodle soup, which happened that day to be bun Thai—Thai-style rice vermicelli with seafood.As a first-timer, the BIL was also taken to Ben Thanh Market where cheap goods abound. It’s not my favorite place, but it’s usually a must-see for first-time visitors.The BIL loves noodle soups, so that evening, we have it again; except this time, it was Japanese udon from Marukame Udon.I love all kinds of noodle soups, too. In fact, a bowl of noodle soup would be part of my last meal. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite, though I really love pho and bun bo Hue. Which is your favorite?
