Hủ tiếu Nam Vang is Saigon's Cambodian-influenced pork-and-seafood noodle soup, usually with clear broth, minced pork, sliced pork, shrimp, quail egg, garlic, celery, and chewy rice noodles. Order **"hủ tiếu khô"** (*dry noodles with soup on the side*) if you want the most flavor, or **"hủ tiếu nước"** (*soup version*) for a cleaner breakfast bowl. The dry version should arrive glossy with sauce, not sticky or sweet like a stir-fry. Expect 45,000-100,000 VND, especially strong for breakfast, lunch, and late-night rescue meals. The trap is treating it like phở; the point is pork-seafood clarity and garlic, not beef broth depth.
