Bún Quậy Kiến-Xây | Local PhuQuoc Seafood Noodles

The place to try bún quậy, a Phú Quốc noodle dish you won't find done properly anywhere else. Fresh rice noodles and seafood — squid, fish, prawn — go into a clear broth, and you mix your own dipping sauce at the table from lime, sugar, chilli and MSG until it tastes right. Half the fun is getting the sauce dialled in. It's a busy, canteen-style spot near the Dương Đông waterfront, cheap and quick, with the recipe now copied across the island. Order at the counter, grab a stool, and don't skip the sauce ritual.
