There's no need to go to Tay Ninh Province to taste its specialty dish banh canh Trang Bang (rice noodle soup). Instead you can come to the newly-established Banh canh Trang Bang Ba Xi restaurant in HCMC's District 3.

The shop owner is Ba Xi, who is part of the Bui family, who created banh canh Trang Bang. Her sisters Nam Dung, Ut Hue and Sau Lien are also owners of some famous banh canh restaurants in Tay Ninh Province.

According to Ba Xi, her grandfather created the food to serve drivers on the Saigon-Tay Ninh route on the border of Cambodia during the French imperial times. Her family has kept this specialty food alive for three generations.

The spacious restaurant on Vo Van Tan Street, with a capacity of 150 guests, has simple decorations in themed colors of white and green which brings diners a fresh and cool atmosphere. Numerous pictures of the Bui family, Tay Ninh Province and vegetables are displayed on walls and along the first floor staircase.

The restaurant focuses on banh canh and banh trang phoi suong (rice paper exposed to dew) and steamed pig's trotter.

Other highlights on the menu are lau mong gio/ lau xi quach (pig's trotter/pig bones hot pots) and banh canh kho (dried rice noodle). Steam pig's trotter with soup is served in one bowl while the other bowl is for noodles with fermented vegetables. You should pour mixed fish sauce into the noodles and eat together with soup and pig's trotter.

Vegetables are planted in Tay Ninh and transported to Saigon twice a day to keep the authentic taste of the food. The vegetarian banh canh is served to diners on the 1st, 14th, 15th, 30th days of every lunar month. Food is priced from VND35,000 to VND195,000.

On the ground floor a souvenir area sells Tay Ninh specialties such as muoi tom (shrimp salt), rice paper and fermented vegetables for diners to buy as gifts.

Banh canh Trang Bang Ba Xi restaurant, which is located at 135 Vo Van Tan Street, District 3, is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
