5. Lô River Silver Carp Salad
Lô River Silver Carp Salad in Tuyên Quang is unlike conventional fish salads prepared with rice paper.

When enjoying it, eat it with thin slices of fish, fresh vegetables, and a little sweet, sticky dipping sauce, which is very enticing. To make the dish more fragrant and sweet, the fish used needs to be raised for more than 1 year and weigh over 2kg.

7. Chiêm Hóa Thorny Cake
Along with field fish sauce, Chiêm Hóa Thorny Cake also contributes to the unique flavor of Tuyên Quang cuisine. To have a delicious cake, the selection of raw materials is extremely important.

The filling inside is equally important: green beans, pumpkin seeds, tender coconut, lotus seeds, and lard all need to be carefully selected and elaborately processed.
