When traveling to a destination, cuisine is always a matter of great interest to travelers. The cuisine of each region carries its own unique flavors. In this article, Mytour introduces readers to the specialty dishes of Nha Trang cuisine that should not be missed.

Nha Trang Jellyfish Vermicelli
Speaking of Nha Trang cuisine, one must mention the renowned jellyfish vermicelli. The jellyfish used in this dish is caught right off the coast of Nha Trang, about the size of a finger, with a white, thick flesh. It is then cooked with broth made from fish and ingredients from the sea to create sweetness, served with finely chopped herbs, making it extremely enticing.

Nha Trang Grilled Beef
This grilled beef dish is special thanks to its unique marinating recipe with honey and 10 secret spices, then grilled on charcoal, served with lettuce, cucumber, and onions. Especially in Nha Trang, the grilled beef at Lac Canh restaurant has a distinct aroma that is extremely enticing and indescribable in words. If you have the opportunity to visit the coastal city of Nha Trang, be sure to stop by the restaurant to enjoy the delicious flavor of this specialty dish.

Nha Trang Squid Pancake
This is essentially a local dish that makes use of the abundant seafood resources of this region. However, it has become a beloved dish among tourists and gradually become extremely popular. The squid in the pancake must remain whole to create its distinctive aroma.

Nha Trang Mini Rice Pancakes
Mini rice pancakes are a familiar dish in the Central region of our country, but Nha Trang mini rice pancakes still maintain their unique delicious taste thanks to fresh seafood ingredients accompanied by various dipping sauces that delight diners.

Diên Khánh Wet Cake
Wet cake is a well-known dish, but the flavor of wet cake in Diên Khánh is very distinctive. In this Diên Khánh town, the whole street is filled with stalls selling wet cake, hence dubbed the 'wet cake street' of Nha Trang. These stalls open from 4 am and close very late, so you can enjoy it anytime during the day.

Nha Trang Mai Fish Salad
This dish is made from Mai fish, a type of fish with little blood and less fishy taste, making it perfect for salad. However, it's quite challenging to prepare and clean. Afterward, mixing the fish with various vegetables and fish sauce creates a dish with a wonderful taste.

Nha Trang Fish Cake Vermicelli
Representing Nha Trang cuisine, similar to how Hue beef noodle soup represents the people of Hue, Nha Trang fish cake vermicelli does the same. It carries a very special flavor, with the broth being fragrant and sweet entirely due to the famous fish cake of Nha Trang.

Nha Trang Coconut Bridge Duck
What sets apart the Nha Trang Coconut Bridge Duck is the type of duck raised freely and fed with natural sources like shrimp and fish, resulting in a rich and firm texture. Especially, if you are fond of blood pudding, you cannot miss the Coconut Bridge Duck blood pudding here.

Spicy Green Chili Pork Skin Sausage
You can easily find Spicy Green Chili Pork Skin Sausage in Nha Trang markets. The sausage's delicious flavor blends perfectly with the intense aroma of green chili, creating a unique and enticing taste. This is also a dish that tourists often buy as gifts for their loved ones.

Mango Rice Paper
It's not hard to find Mango Rice Paper anywhere. However, you might not expect that this dish originates from Nha Trang. Mango Rice Paper has a slightly sweet and sour taste, a natural aroma, and completely no preservatives, making it highly popular and commonly seen at rest stops.
