Being a coastal city and the capital of Khanh Hoa province on the South Central Coast of the country, Nha Trang
is one of the most attractive destinations for international tourists
in Vietnam. Nha Trang is not only famous for the pristine beaches and
excellent scuba diving, but also for its special delicacies.
Here are 5 must-try foods list for people first coming to Nha Trang:
1. Grilled fermented pork roll- Nem Nuong:
When mentioning Nha Trang cuisines, we definitely cannot neglect
grilled fermented pork roll, also known as Ninh Hoa’s or Nha Trang’s
fermented pork roll. We can eat fermented pork roll fresh (nem chua”) or
grilled (“nem nuong”). However, most of the tourists will choose “nem
nuong” to enjoy in Nha Trang, and buy “nem chua” as the gifts for family
at home. Grilled directly with the fire of coal brazier, fermented pork
roll is served with raw herbs as well as dipping sauce with pickled
green papaya.
2. Lac Canh’s Grilled Beef:
The secret of making perfect grilled beef lies on the recipe of mixing
beef with honey and more than ten kinds of spices. The recipe is handed
down from generation to generation, and only known to specific members
of restaurant owner’s family. Customers are free to grill the beef and
enjoy the dish in their own way.
Lac Canh’s grilled beef is so favored by tourists that it appears in many famous international travel guides.
3. Rice vermicelli with grilled fish and jellyfish- Bun cha ca:
It’s “bun cha ca” broth, which is made from boiled sailfish and
mackerel’s bones, that determines the exclusive taste of this specialty.
Different from the fatty boiled pork bones’ broth; “bun cha ca” broth
is sweet and savory, especially suitable for people who are going on a
diet. A bowl of Nha Trang’s “bun cha ca” also contained jellyfish and
steamed sailfish.
4. Lang Chai’s Seafood:
Before visiting Hon Tam, Bai Soi or Bai Mini beaches, tourists are
advised to drop in Lang Chai to buy some seafood. Customers can choose
fresh seafood which is raised in cage under the sea by their own hand.
After that, people will sail to nearby restaurant by ferry, where
seafood will be immediately prepared and cook. On mainland, tourists can
consume fresh seafood at reasonable price at Chieu Anh Restaurant.
5. Banh can- “Can” cake
Sitting around the warm fire of coal brazier, watching the cook
skillfully pouring flour into moulds , and then enjoying hot “banh can”
in a windy day is an unforgettable experience for anyone when in Nha
Trang.
“Banh can” is a popular snack in Central and Southern regions of
Vietnam, including rice flour, lard, spring onion and eggs. The cakes
are sold in pair, and served with special sweet and sour dipping sauce
made from Nha Trang’s famous fish sauce, and raw vegetables.
