ADDRESS: 999 Trần Hưng Đạo, Thanh bình, Ninh Bình
OPEN: 4AM – 10:30AM
Opened in 1973, Miến Lươn Bà Phấn is Ninh Binh’s most famous restaurant serving glass noodle eel soup. The owner, Mrs. Phấn, learned how to make the signature dish from her mother-in-law, who also taught three of her children to cook the dish before her passing. They now have three restaurants in Ninh Binh, selling their famous glass noodle eel soup, a dish adored by locals.

ADDRESS: Ninh Hải Primary School
Mrs. Lát has been a farmer in Ninh Binh for a very long time and is an expert at making this traditional dish. Fried crab with rice is very popular in the countryside of Vietnam. It originated from farmers working in the rice fields without much time to cook. As to not waste resources, they used every ingredient around them to create this simple dish, which has become very special in Vietnam today.

?ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. People either enjoyed my undeniable charm or enjoyed watching me eat things like coconut worms, and thus Best Ever Food Review Show came to be.
I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer. If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I’m a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.
Don’t forget to subscribe to Best Ever Food Review Show, so we can connect through food and travel and become Bestys!
