A close-up, top-down photograph depicts a bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup, consistent with *Bánh Canh*, situated in Thủ Đức, Vietnam. The dish is served in a light blue ceramic bowl with a scalloped rim adorned with white polka dots. The bowl contains a rich, golden-brown broth with visible oil sheen. Submerged within the broth are numerous thick, opaque white noodles. Various proteins and ingredients are present: multiple slices of roasted pork with a reddish exterior and lighter pink interior (one featuring a small green herb sprig), a whole peeled shrimp, several dark red blocks of congealed pork blood (some with a ribbed texture), pieces of stewed light-colored pork or pork hock, a golden-brown piece of fried fish cake or tofu, a whole peeled white quail egg, and a dark brown mushroom. Green chopped herbs are scattered throughout the soup. A brown chopstick is partially visible, submerged on the right side of the bowl. The background is an out-of-focus light brown or beige surface, likely a table.
