I cannot confirm if the cigar enthusiast was served by the resident midget, who sadly seems to have worked off his bondage and has departed. It is not the same without him.

Just a few Hanoians know the food :) I’ve tried Bun Cha several places, and will be there someday :)

I wonder where that meme originates. There’s a Vietnamese restaurant (I don’t remember the name) on Swanston St in Melbourne that also features the “Bill Clinton ate 2 bowls” claim on the window.

(opposite Cyclo restaurant just thirty yards from Hang Bong st) or on Hang Ga st (sorry don't know the number, up from Hang Da market, on the left -- look out for the smoke and don't sit downstairs -- it's a drive thru restaurant, literally, as the garage is out the back). Right now the Duong Thanh one is leading the pack -- HOWEVER I must say there is no bun cha better than homemade bun cha when a Hanoi family goes for it. Always better meat quality and more varied-abundance of greenery and if you're lucky perfect nuoc cham.
