I first had this dish when I went to Diana's house freshmen year of high school. She would talk about it this particular dish and emphasized how it was her favorite vietnamese dish. When I first tried it, I fell in love with it. I wondered why it wasn't introduced to me earlier. I learned that not a lot of restaurants serve this particular dish because it takes a lot of time to prepare. Ever since I've had my first bowl of bun rieu, it became my favorite vietnamese dish too. And no matter how many different restaurants I try it at. It doesn't beat a home cooked bowl from diana's mom or dad. Restaurants are usually lacking something, either ingredients or the taste. I love how diana's mom's broth is very flavorful. Love the chunks of tomatoes as well as the generous amount of the shrimp paste meat thingy. Overall, the best bun rieu I've ever had.
