About this audio guide
This guide to Bún bò mệ Kéo, a riverside noodle stall in Hue, follows the elderly woman known only by a nickname that means to pull or drag, earned over seventy years of queues under Gia Hội Bridge. It traces what actually goes into the broth behind the city's most famous bowl of beef noodle soup, and how a stall with no sign outside still fills every morning. Best heard standing at the water's edge, where the Perfume River slides past just below your feet.
