Lao Ngư Grilled Fish Cake has a slightly small but cozy space. The feeling of sitting by the hot food pan, picking up some noodles, a hot piece of fish, a bunch of fragrant sautéed vegetables, adding a bit of fish sauce and bringing it to your mouth is truly interesting and wonderful. When it comes to fish cakes, the most standard is still snakehead fish, but nowadays people often make fish cakes from snakehead and carp, perhaps partly because snakehead fish is rare and more expensive. The fish cake at Lao Ngư is made from snakehead fish, a type of fish with soft, fatty, and chewy flesh. Each golden piece of fish at Lao Ngư is marinated and pre-processed. When enjoying, the staff will turn on the stove for the oil and pour the fish into the pre-prepared pan, then add turmeric and long-cut scallions.

By the time everything is cooked, just pick it up to eat, the fish at this time is crispy and emits a very attractive aroma. To avoid boredom from eating just one dish, you should also order a plate of sautéed fish guts. The fish guts at Lao Ngư Grilled Fish Cake are from ba sa fish, also pre-processed, just pour it into the pan to stir-fry with the fish. The fish guts have a crispy and crunchy taste, and when dipped in shrimp sauce, it's quite interesting.
