Published on October 18, 2001

The Hung Vuong Market sits among the many interesting little shops in the River Market. Named after a street in Hanoi (or a very nice hotel in Hue, the Imperial City), Hung Vuong offers everything a cook needs for a dinner of grilled beef in la-lot leaves, Vietnamese spring rolls or beef noodle soup. The aisles are crowded with bins of fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, soybeans, mung beans and peanuts as well as the dry, flaky rice and NuocMam fish sauce necessary for any Vietnamese meal. Chimes hang from the ceiling, and Buddha is everywhere.
