Although many tourists have eaten this specialty in Phu Quoc, not everyone has heard this special story.
Phu Quoc Island is one of the famous tourist destinations in Vietnam, attracting visitors from all over the world. Not only impressing with its clear blue beaches and endless white sand, the cuisine of the island is also a factor that captivates visitors. Among them, a local specialty that visitors are always advised to "definitely eat" when coming to Phu Quoc is bun quay.
Perhaps tourists to Phu Quoc have tried bun quay at least once. However, behind this specialty dish there are very interesting stories that not everyone knows, and when hearing about it, many people feel extremely... surprised.
Phu Quoc specialty but originated from... Binh Dinh
A very interesting fact about Bun Quay that surprises anyone who hears it for the first time is the origin of this specialty. Although it is a specialty of Phu Quoc Island, Bun Quay originated from the shrimp noodle dish of Binh Dinh.
Not everyone who has eaten Phu Quoc's Bun Quay knows that its origin is from... Binh Dinh.
Binh Dinh's shrimp noodles are also a very light noodle dish, a combination of fresh noodles and crushed shrimp. The flavor of the dish mainly comes from the freshness of the ingredients and the way the diners season it to suit their taste. Based on this method, people have created the stir-fried noodles dish from fresh seafood from Phu Quoc sea.
Bun Quay also uses fresh, chewy vermicelli noodles, which still retain a certain crispiness when eaten. The most special feature of the Bun Quay bowl comes from the fresh fish and shrimp patties that are finely ground and spread thinly on the bottom of the bowl. When adding vermicelli and pouring hot broth over them, the patties will be cooked just right. In addition, the Phu Quoc Bun Quay bowl also has a seafood topping of squid. All of these toppings are the main ingredients that make the bowl of vermicelli sweet because the broth of Bun Quay is not made from pork, beef, fish bone broth... like many other vermicelli dishes, but only adds seasoning powder, MSG and pepper, so it still retains a light taste.

Why is bun quay controversial?
Because of the way it is made, which is different from many other Vietnamese noodle dishes, Bun Quay has caused a lot of controversy. The reason comes from the clear broth of this noodle dish, because it is not simmered with any ingredients, so some people think that the broth is... bland.
On social networks, there have been many debates about Bun Quay Dao Ngoc. Half of them think that the broth is too bland and unimpressive, while the other half is fascinated and loves to eat it. This story can also be sympathized because everyone has different tastes, so there are such opposite feelings.
However, there are also many opinions that there are first-time diners who do not know how to eat this dish properly, so they are not impressed with bun quay. Therefore, many "fans" of bun quay also want to "clear the name" of this specialty.
Despite being controversial, bun quay is still loved by many tourists.
How to eat bun quay properly and feel the best flavor?
Not only is the way of making Phu Quoc stir-fried noodles different, but the way of eating Phu Quoc stir-fried noodles is also very different. Instead of the restaurant making the dipping sauce for the customers, the customers will do it themselves. The restaurant usually has spices such as sugar, salt, pepper, kumquat and chili. Depending on personal taste, customers will mix their own dipping sauce to their liking. The ingredients are put into the bowl and stirred vigorously to dissolve. That is also the reason why this noodle dish is called stir-fried noodles.
Tourists make their own dipping sauce to eat with bun quay.
When eating Bun Quay, according to many people's experience, we should put a spoonful of dipping sauce in the bowl and stir well to create an attractive flavor. In addition to using it as a dipping sauce for toppings such as sausage and squid, diners also use it to pour directly onto each chopstick of noodles before putting it in their mouth. The combination of the natural sweetness of the ingredients with the salty, sour, and spicy flavors of the dipping sauce will create the "explosive" flavor of Bun Quay.
Dipping sauce is also an important ingredient that makes bun quay delicious.
Dipping sauce is used to "mix" into the noodle bowl, to dip the toppings and to pour over the noodles when eating.
Nowadays, most tourists coming to Phu Quoc want to try this specialty. Besides the unique taste and taste, Phu Quoc bun quay is also loved for its fresh seafood toppings. This is also a dish that many people love and want to eat again and again.
