Cơm Hến - Bún Hến - Mì Hến (Baby Clam Rice, Vermicelli and Noodles) – Flavours You'll Miss and Never Forget

Rustic Yet Captivating Flavours

Starting from a simple ingredient – fresh baby clams – these dishes are skilfully prepared and combined with signature seasonings such as fermented shrimp paste, fresh herbs, roasted peanuts and crispy pork cracklings. Each dish has its own character:

• Cơm Hến (clam rice) is rich and savoury, every grain of white rice mingling with the delicate sweetness of the clams and a gentle kick from Huế chilli.
• Bún Hến (clam rice noodles) is softer, with chewy noodles and sweet, fragrant clam broth, creating a light yet well-rounded taste.
• Mì Hến (clam noodles) is a bit of a twist, with noodles tossed in the signature seasonings for an exciting new take.

Food Is Not Just Flavour, but Also Memories

There's no need for fuss when enjoying it – just a bowl of clams with a little light broth, a few slices of lime and some fresh chilli make for a simple yet unforgettable meal. Anyone who has tasted these dishes will always remember a gentle Huế, where food is not merely something to eat but also a part of beautiful memories.

If you get the chance to visit Huế, don't forget to set aside some time to try these dishes – and if you want to eat them well and the authentic way, head to Cồn Hến (Clam Islet) to savour the finesse and depth in every flavour. A simple yet heartwarming experience that anyone who travels far will remember.
