Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Come hungry after dark, as the kitchen doesn't open until 5 pm and stays open until 1:30 am. Order the dry rice porridge. Even porridge skeptics are often won over here, as the rice retains its texture and doesn't fall apart, and the fried garlic and toppings provide an intense aroma. Anything with crispy pork is highly recommended, including the rolled rice noodles. The house soup is praised for its broth, which strikes just the right balance between peppery and salty.

The restaurant is open to the street and simply furnished, with the Michelin awards on the wall making up most of the decor. It's busy, especially on weekends, but tables become available quickly and the food arrives promptly, sometimes within minutes of ordering. P' Big, the owner, personally attends to everything and is happy to help first-time visitors. The prices are reasonable for the quality offered, and two people can easily be satisfied.
