Top 10 Places to Find Delicious and High-Quality Braised Fish in Ho Chi Minh City

Braised fish from Vu Dai village by Tran Luan has been widely distributed and sold in Ho Chi Minh City since 2010. However, due to the product being 100% natural braised fish without preservatives, it cannot be stored outdoors for long (only within 24 hours). Therefore, customers often have to pay a relatively high fee to enjoy it. But since 2017, with the goal of promoting the brand and the Vu Dai braised fish dish to Saigonese, Tran Luan has collaborated with Vietnam Rice Pot Restaurant to sell directly at the restaurant at a lower cost. Now, those in Saigon who love this dish can easily indulge in it!

With many years preserving the soul of Vietnam, Vietnam Rice Pot Restaurant treats diners to rich, refreshing, and sweet-smelling Northern Vietnamese cuisine, each dish full of warmth and hometown love. Among the three braised fish dishes at the restaurant, the most popular and famous one is the Vu Dai village Braised Fish. The fish pot at the restaurant serves about 4 people. Specifically, the Vu Dai village braised fish dish includes 2 pieces of dark snakehead fish simmered in the standard 10 - 16 hour process on a clean wood stove. The fish is marinated with natural ingredients such as ginger, galangal, lime juice, crab water, dried onions, and a bit of chili for a mild spiciness. After simmering, the fish meat is firm, deliciously tender, melting in the mouth, and the fish bones are also well-cooked, not requiring much effort to eat. Children or the elderly won't worry about swallowing fish bones. You can enjoy this dish with rice and other soups at the restaurant.

Although it's just a collaborative restaurant, the processing and seasoning process adheres to very strict requirements, following a unique formula to produce quality braised fish pots. The rich aroma of galangal and lemongrass, combined with the sweet tenderness of the fish meat, makes this dish extremely appetizing. You can choose to enjoy it directly at the restaurant or take it home.
