Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious.
