5. Kha Thi Pha Lau
Kha Thi's Coconut Braised Pha Lau has become a sensation from Saigon to the Mekong Delta for over 30 years, and now it has officially opened its first branch in Biên Hòa at 235/1 Phạm Văn Thuận, Bình Đa, Biên Hòa.
Here, the mixed platter includes 5 types of ingredients: ear, tongue, stomach, pig's feet, and pork shank, priced at 35,000 VND per 100 grams. If you prefer the whole pork shank with bones, it's available at 260,000 VND per kilogram.
The quality lies in the well-prepared pork shank, which is free from any unpleasant odor before it's braised in coconut water, giving it a beautiful golden color. The secret family recipe, combining sweet and salty flavors in a traditional Mekong style, is served with wild vegetables and pickled mustard greens, perfectly paired with the rich, sticky braised sauce.
