You can choose between beef, pork or fish balls and with of meat, which is all topped off with a few fresh herbs. Seasoning like dried chilli and fish sauce can be added for extra flavour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The curiously small size of each bowl really is the unique selling point of boat noodle alley. As a result, it\u2019s common to see locals order dozens of bowls at a time, which are then stacked high on the tables making for an all-important photo op before departure.<\/p>\n
