A Bowl Full of Signature Flavor

What makes Ba Hai Khiem’s crab noodle soup unforgettable is its naturally sweet, aromatic broth. It’s simmered from finely ground freshwater crab and bright red tomatoes, with a hint of fermented shrimp paste adding depth and character.
The soft, rich crab paste pairs beautifully with fresh rice noodles, golden-fried tofu, fish cake, and crisp herbs — creating a harmony of textures and flavors that has diners savoring every spoonful.

There’s nothing extravagant or refined about it; instead, the dish wins hearts with its simplicity and honesty — just like the warm, genuine spirit of the people of Con Dao.
A Meaningful Culinary Experience

More than just a place to eat, Ba Hai Khiem’s noodle shop has long been a familiar gathering spot for generations of islanders. Its modest, homey atmosphere makes visitors feel as though they’re enjoying a meal right in a local family kitchen.

Especially in the early morning or late afternoon, stopping by for a steaming bowl of bún riêu and then strolling along the coconut-shaded streets offers a serene, uniquely Con Dao moment.
