After some searching, I determined that bun bo hue typically needs mắm ruốc, which is Vietnamese fermented shrimp paste. This one blog post I came across summarizes the essentials to a bowl of bun bo hue, and how it contrasts with a bowl of pho. The post says the soup gets its red from annatto seeds. Within that post I found a separate page dedicated entirely to mắm ruốc. Now I know a little more about bun bo hue.
My dad ordered the combination platter which has a little of everything. Perhaps next time I'll get that.

Today my dad and I went here for lunch. We each had a large bowl of bun bo hue. It was really good. The broth was flavorful and had a lovely smell. Either I was hungry or the noodle soup was good, because I even consumed all the broth. 11:44AM PT

| Bánh ướt BBQ. I didn't dare try the sauce, but my parents suggested I include it in the picture. (20120610) |
