Hue ancient capital is attracted to every visitor not only for the stunning view of the Huong River but also for the best Hue specialties, of which the most famous perhaps is Com Hen Song Huong (the Mussel Rice in Huong River). 

Though Mussel Rice is the very simple and low-price specialty of Hue, it possesses a complicated recipe of sweet, buttery, salty, sour, bitter and spicy flavors. When tasting this special kind of food, tourists can experience the simplicity and deliciousness of traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Absolutely, what makes this simple kind of food popular is revealed in the great endeavor to adopt and process its main ingredient – mussels, which are a sea species and must be soaked in water for a long while before being processed. Therefore, locals often say that mussel cooked rice somehow expresses the strenuous work of the marker.
