\nAccording to <\/span>\u0110o\u00e0n Th\u1ecb Anh Th\u01b0<\/b>, founder of Vua Cua Bike, all of them are homemade.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Since many F&B restaurants outsource their sauces, having the ingredients made in their own kitchens help Vua Cua Bike reduce costs and customers save money.<\/p>\n

Vua Cua Bike features 12 types of sauces, with flavors ranging from salted eggs to tamarind to black pepper. Tangy and creamy, these sauces infiltrate the juicy meat of the crabs and make them lip-smackingly savory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To sop up the flavorful sauce, you can order a <\/span>banh mi<\/span><\/em> <\/a>(VND10,000,~USD0.43)<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
