If you ever find yourself wandering the streets of Hanoi, you’ve got to try Cháo Sườn – a dish that feels like home in every bite. This creamy rice porridge, cooked with tender pork ribs, is the kind of food that warms both your belly and your soul. The rice is slow-cooked until it’s silky smooth, blending perfectly with the rich flavor of the pork.
What makes Cháo Sườn even better? The toppings! A sprinkle of pepper, some green onions, and don’t forget the crispy crullers (quẩy) for dipping. It’s simple, but that’s the charm. Locals love it for breakfast, but honestly, it hits the spot any time of day, especially when the weather’s cool.
Located in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, Cháo Sườn Cô Là is a beloved street food stall. With its simple setup of plastic stools and the rich, creamy pork rib porridge served with crispy quẩy, it’s the perfect spot to experience authentic Vietnamese flavors and street food culture.
It’s one of those must-try experiences that’ll leave you craving more, even long after your trip to Hanoi.
