Must-Try Delicacies When Visiting Phan Thiet

Exploring Phan Thiet offers a myriad of attractions for travelers, among which cannot omit the cuisine. It possesses a unique charm that cannot be found elsewhere.

Unmissable Culinary Delights When Traveling to Phan Thiet

1. Fish Salad

This is one of the signature dishes available and served at many delicious restaurants and eateries in Phan Thiet. This dish always leaves diners deeply impressed and unable to forget the flavor after trying it once.

After being marinated with lime, the fish is mixed with spices such as dill, shallots, mint, and roasted tofu. The dipping sauce for fish salad is quite elaborate, featuring the tempting aroma of tamarind, ripe bananas, garlic, and chili. When eating, you can roll it in rice paper with star fruit, green bananas, cucumber, lettuce, and more.

2. Duck Quang Noodles

Both chicken and duck Quang noodles are famous dishes in Phan Thiet. However, due to the widespread popularity of chicken, duck meat combined with Quang noodles becomes a unique and enticing option.

The tender, sweet duck meat enhanced by coconut water creates a distinctive flavor. The slightly rich and spicy broth, along with the slightly chewy noodles, enriches the dish with various delicious flavors.

3. Fish Cake Soup

Most travelers when visiting Phan Thiet try fish cake soup, a simple yet remarkably attractive dish. Here, fish cake soup comes in two types: with steamed fish cake and with fried fish cake, both prepared deliciously. It can be enjoyed with bread for dipping.

You can savor this dish at some eateries along Tran Hung Dao, Hai Thuong Lan Ong, Kim Dong,... in the evening. However, it can be quite inconvenient as some of the best eateries only serve it at specific times rather than all day.

6. Mini Rice Pancakes

These are delicious street food snacks in the coastal city, often found along Ngư Ông Street, Hải Thượng Street, Thủ Khoa Huân Street, or around Phan Thiết Market. The mini rice pancakes are cooked to perfection in clay molds, filled with various ingredients such as meat, eggs, squid, shrimp, and more.

The dipping sauce is the highlight of this dish, with its enticing bright red color, thick consistency, and a slightly sweet and spicy taste that delights the palate. The mini rice pancakes are typically served with a variety of fresh vegetables such as lettuce, kale, basil, water spinach, and finely shredded green mango.
