Another delicious traditional food is Chao Hau (Oyster soup). After being cleaned, fresh oysters are stir-fried with onions, pepper, and chili. When customers order, the restaurateur will put processed oysters in the pre-cooked porridge and heat it up, adding herbs and chopped green onions. Oyster soup is greasy, tasty, and nutritious.
Banh beo is so familiar to the locals that tourists can easily find a banh beo restaurant anywhere. A small and sweet-smelling muffin with yellow shrimp, rich spices, and a little crunchy fat can allure the taste buds of any visitor. It is even more appetizing when diners dip the muffin into the sweet and spicy fish sauce, creating a flavor they will remember forever.
