Marinate Pork: Mix 1 lb (450 g) pork shoulder (for patties) and 1 lb pork belly (sliced) with 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced shallots, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp pepper. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Form shoulder pork into small patties, wrapping in xương sông leaves for aroma.
Prepare Nước Chấm: Whisk ¼ cup fish sauce, ¼ cup lime juice, ¼ cup sugar, ½ cup water, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp chili sauce until sugar dissolves. Add ¼ cup shredded pickled papaya or carrots.
Grill Pork: Grill patties and slices over charcoal or a grill pan for 5–7 minutes per side until charred and cooked (165°F/74°C), ensuring a fragrant, slightly burnt edge.
Cook Vermicelli: Boil 2 cups rice vermicelli for 3–5 minutes, rinse in cold water, and drain.
Assemble: Serve vermicelli with grilled pork, a bowl of nước chấm, pickled vegetables, and a platter of lettuce, perilla, mint, and Thai basil on a tray. Optionally add nem cua bể ($1 or 25,000 VND each).
Enjoy: Dip vermicelli, pork, and herbs in nước chấm (northern style) or wrap in lettuce (southern style). Eco-Friendly Tip: Source organic pork and herbs from local markets; use reusable containers for leftovers.

Navigation: Download offline maps (Maps.me); mark “34 Hàng Thân, Ba Đình Ward” as a landmark. Local guides ensure seamless access.
Safety: Watch for traffic in Ba Đình; keep valuables secure. Carry a first-aid kit.
Weather Considerations: Dry season for outdoor dining; rainy season requires waterproof gear ($2–$5 or 50,000–125,000 VND). Check AccuWeather for updates.
