"STRANGE FOOD" TOUR IN VIETNAM
Harry’s blog
I have been to Viet Nam in two months and I am so in love with this country. This time coming back to my beloved place, I decided to challenge myself to try some unusual dishes. The experience was incredible!
1. Trứng vịt lộn (Duck in an egg/ Balut)
As described in the name “duck in an egg”, balut is the nearly formed baby duck in an egg. This weird and unusual Vietnamese food is a nutritious and favourite street food. The image of trying to eat an egg with “bones” and “feathers” could be horrifying to some people.
The egg is boiled for 5 to 7 minutes and served with Vietnamese herbs, some ginger, and salt mixed with black pepper in lime juice. Sip on the juice then enjoy the taste of the egg with the salty, spicy and sour sauce, you will never forget this strange experience. The herbs and ginger also enhance the flavour of this dish so I recommend you must try it with balut. Amazing!
2. Bún đậu mắm tôm
The original version of this unusual Vietnamese food consists of rice vermicelli (bún), fried tofu (đậu), and shrimp paste (mắm tôm). These simple ingredients make the dish one of the most popular Vietnamese dishes. Until now, even many local people still find the fermented shrimp paste’s smell unpleasant, while others quickly get addicted to its flavour when eating it with tofu or vermicelli.
In many restaurants and stalls these days, they add some boiled pork belly, fried spring rolls and other Vietnamese sausages. The various, colourful ingredients are put carefully on a bamboo plate. A food lover would add some drops of kumquat, some chilli, and sugar to the shrimp paste and mix it all together. Take the first bite with crunchy fried tofu dipped in the sauce, and add some bún and chả cốm after that. Don’t forget to eat some herbs. It’s both fatty and fresh, salty and spicy, crunchy and soft. It feels like a big feast inside one bite. I would say that bún đậu mắm tôm is worth a try!
