Papaya, Shrimp and
Pig’s Ear Salad
This spicy dish is light and
fresh. Don’t be afraid of the
pig’s ear, it adds a crunchy texture
without much flavour. The
salad dressing is a sprinkling of
fish sauce. VND 12,000.
Chicken Curry
One of the main reasons so
many people come to this
market is because of the famous
chicken curry, which is a dark,
sweet dish. The chicken is
incredibly tender and will have
you coming back for seconds.
VND 20,000 for a portion.
Seafood
There were stalls at the market
with just about every crustacean
found in the sea. The most
available creatures were clams,
mussels and snails. Pull up a
plastic chair and snack away.
Clothing
If you’re finding that you
gained too much weight from
all the amazing food this market
has to offer, you’re in luck,
as there is a gigantic clothing
section here. Get lost in the
aisles of textiles, lots to see.
