Đa Nang: A culinary paradise attracting visitors from all around
Đà Nẵng, one of Central Vietnam’s most promising coastal tourist destinations, enchants travelers not only with its pristine white sandy beaches and stunning natural landscapes but also with its vibrant culinary scene. The city is a melting pot of rich, distinctive flavors, offering a variety of delicious dishes that reflect its diverse cultural heritage.
Da Nang Style Banh mi
A humble yet unforgettable dish, Banh Mi Da Nang has become a favorite among locals, whether it's enjoyed as a hearty breakfast to start the day or a quick afternoon snack to recharge.
Unlike the versions found in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang’s banh mi stands out with a thick layer of savory paté, followed by a light spread of creamy mayonnaise made from eggs and oil. It’s then topped with fragrant herbs, fresh green chili, cucumber, and spring onions. For the filling, you can choose from a variety of options, including beef sausage, pork sausage, roasted pork, grilled meat, or meatballs. In addition, there are variations like "Banh mi que" or "Banh mi ga", each offering a unique twist that surprises and delights visitors.
Quang Noofle - Mì Quảng
Mi Quang - one of Central Vietnam's most iconic dishes, is a must-try for anyone visiting Da Nang. The noodles are made from finely ground rice, steamed into thin, fresh sheets, and then cut diagonally to create thick, flat strands, which are notably broader than noodles in other regions.
Mi Quang comes with a variety of toppings, such as chicken, pork, shrimp, quail eggs, frog, or snakehead fish. A bowl of Mi Quang may feature just one or a mix of these toppings, offering a more unique and flavorful experience. It’s always served with a plate of fresh herbs and crispy rice crackers, which are crumbled into the bowl. Add a squeeze of lime, mix everything up, and you’re ready to enjoy. The chewy noodles, rich broth, and crunchy rice crackers come together in a harmony of flavors and textures, making it love at first bite.
Pork Belly Rice Paper Rolls - Bánh tráng cuốn thịt heo
It would be a shame to visit Da Nang without trying the famous pork belly rice paper rolls dipped in Central Vietnam's signature fermented fish sauce. While this dish can be found in various parts of the country, Da Nang adds its own unique twist that makes it truly unforgettable.
The rice paper used for this dish is softened to achieve a chewy, elastic texture. What sets this version apart is the use of a thin layer of Banh ướt (steamed rice sheets), which is lightly pressed onto the rice paper. When lifted, the rice paper sticks to the banh uot, adding a special texture to each bite. The pork is thinly sliced, with both ends retaining a layer of fat and skin for extra flavor. A full roll includes fresh herbs, unripe mango slices, green banana, cucumber, and pork, all wrapped in the rice paper - Banh uot combination. It's then dipped into a rich fermented fish sauce, enhanced by a delicate balance of sweet sugar, spicy chili, and the tangy hint of finely chopped pineapple, creating a medley of flavors that will linger on your palate.
Fresh Seafood - Hải sản tươi
Coming to a coastal city, you definitely cannot miss the fresh and delectable seafood. Da Nang boasts numerous seaside restaurants where you can find a wide variety of seafood, from shrimp and crabs to snails and fish. Many places even allow customers to choose their seafood directly from glass tanks, where you can see the catch swimming before your eyes. The staff will then advise you on the best preparation methods to enhance the flavors and make your dining experience unforgettable.
Vietnamese Pancake - Bánh xèo
Bánh xèo is one of the must-try specialties of Central Vietnamese cuisine. The harmonious blend of the rich, nutty flavor of rice flour with the sweetness of shrimp and pork, accompanied by a savory dipping sauce, elevates this humble dish to a remarkable culinary experience found only in this region.
Unlike the large, thin, and crispy Banh Xeo from the Southern Vietnam, Central Vietnamese style Banh Xeo is cooked in smaller cast-iron pans, resulting in thicker, golden pancakes. The simple toppings include bean sprouts, shrimp, and pork. To enjoy, wrap a piece of Banh Xeo in a piece of rice paper, add some fresh herbs, and then take a bite of the beautifully golden pancake. Finally, dip it into a savory sauce for a delightful burst of flavors.
The dipping sauce, often referred to by locals as "nước lèo," adds a unique touch that creates an unforgettable taste. This rich and smooth sauce is made from ingredients such as pâté, peanut butter, minced meat, and annatto oil, perfectly seasoned to enhance the overall experience of this beloved dish.
