Cricket Farm
When in Lam Dong, besides the impressive Dalat tourist attractions, you must try crispy fried crickets. To savor the crunchy, fragrant fried crickets and witness the cricket farming process firsthand, spend a leisurely afternoon at Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy's cricket farm in Thon 2, Me Linh Commune, Lam Ha District.
In a spacious room measuring approximately 100m2, designed with dozens of cages each about 4m2 wide. Inside these cages are hundreds, even thousands of golden crickets, fluttering and chirping loudly throughout the room.
The crickets are fed with natural foods such as rice, ground corn, given clean water, and no growth-promoting drugs or stimulants are used. About 3 days before harvesting, they are fed finely ground roasted corn to ensure they have completely empty stomachs and to enhance their aroma.
Visiting the cricket farm, witnessing the unique farming model firsthand, seeing the plump, glossy brown crickets, and enjoying crispy fried crickets right here, you'll truly appreciate the refined and unique charm of Dalat.
