However I had read that there was some amazing food to be had that was local to Da Nang that I was dying to try.
So the lure of the food brought us to Da Nang for one night of eating.
One of the dishes I had heard about that we were hungry for is called Mi Quang.
The dish is basically half noodle soup, half noodle salad - it comes with a bowl of thick, hand cut noodles partially covered in a rich broth.
The place we apparently needed to go to try this dish was Ba Vi and a quick google maps search showed us it was in the street right next to where we are staying.
(Ba Vi - 166 Le Dinh Duong Street)
On arrival we were greeted warmly and sat down outside. We were shown the menu - basically all you need to chose is the meat you want with your Mi Quang. I went chicken and Jeff went pork.
Before I continue let me just say this has to be one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten.
The thick noodles were covered in a rich, oily chicken broth and scattered throughout the dish were roasted peanuts.
An egg was lovingly placed around chicken still on the bone with a sprinkling of shallots adding colour and that onion hit.
Rice crackers were also bought to the table which we broke up and added to the bowl creating another texture to the dish.
We couldnt believe how cheap this amazing meal was.
Cant wait to explore more of what the Da Nang food scene has to offer!
