She is so famous that she even got her own cookbook that she retails at her humble stall that’s constructed at one of those empty spaces by the shophouses; away from the bustling neighbourhood.

Specializing in soup noodles, The Lunch Lady serves diners a different kind of soup noodle each day and this was what I got when I went on a Tuesday. Overall, my 40,000 VND bowl of egg noodles comes with thinly sliced char siew, minced pork, prawns and a deep fried prawn cake, submerged in a somewhat similar to wanton noodles broth. Very hearty portion that will definitely fill you up but not one of the tastiest foods that I have had during this trip. However, the experience of eating a bowl of noodles on a plastic table while sitting on those mini stools, under the shade of tall trees makes this trip to The Lunch Lady worthwhile.
