Besides the famous highland delicacies like tea and coffee, Bao Loc, bathed in sunshine and breeze, also boasts a wealth of street food that captivates travelers. You can explore more through the details provided by Mytour in the article below.
Dry Pho
At first glance, the famous dry pho of Bao Loc may resemble the Hu Tieu dish from Saigon, but once you taste it, you'll find that its flavor is completely distinct.
The dry pho stands out with its chewy pho noodles, rich strands of pho, and includes chicken pieces with skin, minced pork belly with crispy fat, all sautéed with fried shallots. What makes it truly unique is the inclusion of rare beef, brisket, flank, or beef balls, which are served separately in a bowl of broth. When eating, fresh bean sprouts, herbs, soy sauce, and everything are mixed in the bowl. The delicious aroma and perfectly balanced flavors of the various spices blending together in the pho will leave you with a lasting memory.
Grilled Cake
This is the street food from Bao Loc that everyone praises the moment they try it. The main ingredients of the grilled cake dish are tapioca cakes and rice crackers. Bao Loc's grilled cake comes in two very interesting versions.
The first version is the grilled cake on a plate. For this dish, your serving includes a plate of tapioca cakes, topped with hot shallot oil, and pieces of crispy rice crackers that are crushed and sprinkled on top.
The second version is the grilled cake served with dipping sauce. This dish includes two pieces of rice crackers as the outer layer, with a certain amount of tapioca cakes sandwiched in between. When eating, the grilled cake is dipped in either shallot fish sauce or soy sauce, depending on your personal taste.
The crisp, crunchy taste, combined with a hint of saltiness... creates an incredibly captivating flavor that anyone, even those trying it for the first time, will remember forever!
Grilled Rice Paper with Fish Sauce
As you stroll through the streets of Bao Loc, you'll encounter numerous vendors selling grilled rice paper along the roadsides.
This dish is quite simple to prepare with thick rice paper coated with a layer of shrimp paste, then grilled over red-hot coals. Once the rice paper is golden and crispy, the vendor will gently tap the center of the cake and serve it to the customer. It's a very affordable dish, yet its flavor is irresistibly captivating.
Shredded Papaya Salad
Another famous street food in Bao Loc that many can't help but praise is shredded papaya salad, known locally as Xap Xap. This snack has a very simple set of ingredients—shredded green papaya served with some dried beef and pig’s liver. The key ingredient that defines the flavor of Xap Xap is the tamarind sauce, mixed with a bit of sugar and chili to create a perfectly balanced, slightly thick sauce. When combined with the other ingredients, the spices meld together, producing a refreshing and delicious taste that will captivate anyone from the very first bite.
