Below is a list of delicious and distinctive dishes for visitors when they visit this region.
Fish Noodle Soup Long Xuyên
Fish noodle soup is a signature dish of the Southern land, easily found anywhere in the Southern region. In fact, Long Xuyên fish noodle soup originates from An Giang.

The vibrant yellow color in the bowl of noodles, the fragrant aroma of carefully cooked broth with spices, and the rich taste of each piece of snakehead fish, fried fish cake make it unforgettable. Each bowl costs only 12,000 VND.
Châu Đốc Fish Noodle Soup
Upon arriving in Châu Đốc, everyone knows the most famous thing here is fish sauce. So it's also a bowl of fish noodle soup, but the flavor in Châu Đốc is much richer. To blend fish sauce into the broth without leaving a fishy smell, the culinary artisans here have gone through generations of experience. They must have secrets to make the broth flavorful without being too fishy.
In addition to the golden pieces of snakehead fish, the chefs also add Vietnamese pork sausage, roasted meat, and water spinach. Taking a piece of fish, dipping it in a bowl of fish sauce with minced chili, and then sipping a spoonful of broth, one can fully taste the delicious sweetness of this rustic dish.
Vĩnh Trung Thick Noodle Soup
In the list of delicious and unique dishes of the Seven Mountains region, Vĩnh Trung thick noodle soup holds a special place. A bowl of thick noodle soup costs only about 15,000 to 20,000 VND but contains delicious beef balls, pork knuckles, and small pieces of meat.
Like many other distinctive Khmer-flavored dishes, the thick noodle soup here has a rich fragrance of fried garlic sprinkled generously on top, enticing travelers. This is considered the gift of the land where cultural convergence occurs, a taste that once tried, travelers will forever remember.
Shrimp Thick Noodle Soup Thoại Sơn
If Tịnh Biên is widely known for its Khmer-flavored Vĩnh Trung thick noodle soup, then Thoại Sơn also has its own renowned dish, the flavorful shrimp thick noodle soup. While there are several shops in Long Xuyên starting to serve this exotic dish to guests, the best experience is to enjoy it in Thoại Sơn. The translucent white thick noodles in clear broth, accompanied by crispy and tender shrimp, pork skin, dried squid, and a few cubes of blood tofu add a unique touch and enhance the flavor of this hometown thick noodle soup.
Simmered Beef Rice Noodles
When visiting Châu Đốc, in addition to purchasing souvenirs made from fish sauce, travelers should try the famous simmered beef rice noodles of this region. The simmered beef, also known as beef 'cooked' with a unique grilling method, is delicious. Each piece of fresh beef rolled with onions and cheese is grilled to a fragrant aroma. Alternatively, travelers can also order other exotic dishes like rolls with beef sausage.
Among them, the beef pieces are rolled round, slightly charred, and eaten with a plate of rice noodles spread with a layer of onion fat. Travelers can also order pineapple salad to eat with it to avoid feeling too greasy, or enjoy some delicious shrimp rolls.
