Top Delicious Dishes In Da Lat

Da Lat is not only famous for thousands of flowers or dim valleys behind layers of fog, Da Lat's delicious dishes are also worth learning about. When you travel here, you must definitely try to find these places to fully enjoy the "deliciousness" of Da Lat!

Da Lat Grilled Spring Rolls

Grilled spring rolls should be the first Da Lat delicacy you try when coming to this dreamy city. Soft, chewy ground meat mixed with rich spices makes the spring rolls here more unique than other places. Spring rolls become even more delicious and appetizing when coated with a layer of oil and then grilled on a charcoal stove. You can eat spring rolls dipped in chili sauce or eat them with raw vegetables and dipping sauce; Either way is delicious, so don't worry too much.

Grilled Rice Paper

Saigon also has grilled rice paper, but to be fair, Saigon grilled rice paper is not as good as Da Lat grilled rice paper, that's why people call this one of the delicious dishes in Da Lat that you need to try. In addition to the main ingredients such as rice paper, eggs, onions, there are also dried beef, cheese, and sauce. In terms of deliciousness and quality, Da Lat grilled rice paper is beyond criticism!

Banh Can

Banh can is a dish of Ninh Thuan, but I don't know when it became the "darling" of Da Lat people. In the morning, you have to go to the banh can shop near your house to enjoy it, to wait by the warm charcoal stove in the cold weather of the foggy city. Because you sit and wait, you can completely "check" the quality of this cake from A to Z. Banh Can is quite simple, made from plain rice flour, some places add a little quail/duck eggs to make the dish more flavorful and then baked in a terracotta mold. The aroma of the cakes burning in the mold will make you extremely excited.

Moist Chicken Intestine Cake

Usually wet cakes or banh cuon are eaten with sausages and spring rolls, but in Da Lat, people eat this cake with meat and chicken intestines, a rather strange combination but it's perfect and doesn't need to be adjusted. Here, the hot, soft wet cake goes well with pieces of meat, pieces of marinated chicken intestines, sweet and firm, from free-range chickens. In addition, there is also a cup of deliciously mixed fish sauce - the final piece of the puzzle that creates the full flavor of the dish.

Snakehead Fish Soup Cake

Like chicken intestine wet cake, snakehead fish soup cake is not a "special dish" of Da Lat but of the Binh Tri Thien area, but it still becomes a favorite dish, even a cabinet dish in this country. This cake has quite simple ingredients: chewy, soft noodles served with snakehead fish meat. Of course, you can't miss the rich pot of broth and the bitter vegetables.

An Snakehead Fish Noodle Soup Shop – 23 Thien Y, City. Da Lat. The price of 1 bowl is about 15,000 VND.

Noodle Soup

In the chilly weather of Da Lat, a hot bowl of noodle soup will make people ecstatic. The sweetness of the broth is the connecting thread that creates a harmonious whole, mixed with chewy yellow noodles, slices of char siu meat, minced meat, and wontons. What makes me especially excited about this dish are the crispy golden pork rinds that melt with each pick of chopsticks. I must say that this Da Lat dish is absolutely.

Chicken Vermicelli

The Da Lat chicken vermicelli bowl will make you fall in love with it because it is so different. Normally, the ingredients are put in the same bowl and brought out to you, but in Da Lat, things are not like that. With this delicious Da Lat dish, vermicelli is placed in a bowl with broth (of course with onions), and chicken is chopped or torn into a separate plate. You also have an extra bowl of soy sauce and a small cup of broth in case you want to add more liquid. When eating, you can optionally mix them together to suit your taste.

Hue Beef Noodle Soup

Hue beef noodle soup is so famous that wherever you go, you can see this dish, but that is in Saigon. As for Da Lat, what will beef noodle soup taste like? In my opinion, this noodle dish in the foggy city is special in its broth, a little spicier than usual, perhaps to suit the cold weather here. If you do eat it, you should eat it quickly because it's cold, and the noodles will cool down very quickly.

Quang Ech Noodles

Yet another unique and delicious variation of Da Lat. Normally, people only eat Quang noodles with chicken and pork, but hardly anyone eats them with frogs. This strange combination by Da Lat chefs has created more interesting opportunities for your stomach. It's still soft and chewy white Quang noodles, raw vegetables, roasted peanuts, and fatty broth, but the meat and shrimp are replaced with frogs. The beauty is that the frog is marinated very well to remove the fishy smell and be delicious.

Pho

Pho is also a super familiar dish that anyone can eat anywhere, but Da Lat pho is also very delicious, so it would be a pity to miss it. Personally, I think Da Lat pho is quite similar to Hanoi pho, with a clear and sweet, greasy broth just like bone broth. Then there are also thin slices of meat, just enough to eat, and raw vegetables to enjoy. But I still feel there is something different that makes Da Lat pho more delicious. Maybe the weather in each place creates this difference, or it could simply be due to the different cooking methods of each region. Never mind.
