Discover the must-try top 3 delicious dishes in Nha Trang
Many still believe that Nha Trang is famous for nem chua, bún cá, chả lụi,... but if you think so, you've missed the chance to experience the flavors of other extremely delicious and quintessentially Central Vietnamese dishes. Below are the top 3 delicious dishes in Nha Trang that will conquer anyone's taste buds from the very first bite:
Chicken on the table
Chicken on the table, a rustic dish, simple but enough to awaken all the senses of diners. The most important factor in making delicious chicken on the table is the choice of chicken, considering its firmness, chewiness, and sweetness. Broiler chicken is always the number one choice. A plate of chicken on the table for 3 – 4 guests will gather enough flavors from the dishes: Stir-fried chicken giblets include the best parts of the giblets such as gizzard, liver,... stir-fried just enough with onions, spices, and cooking oil to avoid greasiness. The chopped chicken pieces stimulate the appetite at first sight with each piece of chicken marinated carefully with pepper, garlic, chili,... and fried to a crispy golden outer layer, while the inside meat remains tender and white, delicious to the tongue. Sticky rice is cooked from soaked glutinous rice and chicken broth is served hot on the table will make you exclaim in admiration. And finally, the sweet and sour chicken salad mixed with shredded chicken and various fragrant herbs will be the perfect finale for this dish!
Crispy Salted Pork Knuckle
Pork knuckle has long been a favorite dish among men, especially when paired with traditional liquor. But due to its fatty nature, it requires special preparation to make it irresistible. Not every restaurant in Nha Trang can achieve that.
One of the eateries highly recommended for its authentic crispy salted pork knuckle is Lúa Restaurant. The dish here is prepared to perfection, with seasoning that caters to the majority's palate.
Many rave about the meticulous frying technique at Lúa. Each piece is fried to a perfect golden crisp on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful inside. Chef Phạm Văn Sơn shares that the knuckles used are boneless, tender, marinated with salt and pepper for about an hour, then tied to maintain their shape. After boiling, they're drained and deep-fried in hot oil to achieve just the right crispiness and appealing golden color. Thinly sliced and served with pickled vegetables and fluffy white rice, it creates an irresistibly delightful flavor profile.
Faux Grilled Spare Ribs
Faux grilled spare ribs are typically enjoyed on chilly days, but ordering this dish at Lúa, you'll experience a unique and equally enticing flavor even on hot summer days.
