Cao Lau, Hoi An Noodles - cao lau is Hoi An local style of noodles. Part of its mystique is the unusual background in its making. It is said that the authentic noodles dish can only be made with water from the ancient Ba Le well, and that only ash from a tree grown on the nearby Cham Islands can be used in the making of the dough. But in reality the noodles aren’t as esoteric and mysterious as all those myths surrounding it. Nevertheless this is a dish demanding respect, because of the perfect balance of texture and flavor that makes cao lau special — it’s a dish that’s the sum of its part.
