## Nha Trang's Must-Try Dishes: A Family Foodie's Guide

Now that you're ready to embark on your culinary adventure with Yolo Hopping, let's delve into some of Nha Trang's signature dishes that are sure to delight your family:

1. Bún Chả Cá: This iconic central Vietnamese dish features grilled fish cakes served with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, and a delicious dipping sauce. The fish cakes are often made with a blend of white fish, spices and herbs, creating a delicate yet flavourful experience. Children may particularly enjoy the noodles and herbs.

2. Nem Nuong: These grilled pork rolls make a fantastic appetizer or a light meal. The succulent pork is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then grilled to perfection. Served with fresh vermicelli noodles, lettuce leaves, herbs, and a sweet and sour dipping sauce, it’s a vibrant and delicious dish the whole family can share.

3. Bánh Xèo: These crispy Vietnamese crepes are a true culinary delight. Made with rice flour, turmeric, coconut milk, and often filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, these savoury pancakes provide a delightful textural contrast. The dipping sauce adds a layer of umami that enhances the overall flavour profile.

4. Gỏi cuốn (Fresh Spring Rolls): A refreshing and healthy option, these rice paper rolls are filled with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, shrimp or pork, and served with a peanut dipping sauce. They offer a lighter alternative to some of the richer dishes and provide a wonderful opportunity to introduce your children to fresh Vietnamese flavours.

5. Bún Cá: This fish noodle soup is a Nha Trang specialty and a comforting choice for a hearty meal. The rich broth, infused with fish and spices, is typically served with noodles, fish cakes, and lots of fresh herbs. It’s a fantastic way to experience the local flavours in a warming bowl.

6. Seafood Platter: Given Nha Trang’s coastal location, a seafood feast is a must. Explore local markets or restaurants offering grilled or steamed seafood. Expect to sample fresh catches of the day, including prawns, squid, lobster, and fish, all prepared with simple yet delightful flavours that let the freshness of the seafood shine.

7. Chả Cá Nha Trang: This specialty dish is different from the usual grilled fish cake. Turmeric is commonly used in the recipe, which helps to give the fish a lovely yellow colour and a subtle earthy taste. Served with dill, roasted peanuts, and a fish-based dipping sauce that is quite unique and flavorful. This dish is an example of local cuisine that you can only find in Nha Trang.

8. Bánh Canh Chả Cá: Similar to Bun Cá but featuring thick, chewy rice noodles rather than vermicelli. This dish showcases a unique texture and is often enjoyed with a richer, more flavorful broth. The thicker noodles require a bolder broth which adds more character.

9. Cao Lầu: While not strictly from Nha Trang, Cao Lầu is a widely acclaimed dish from Hoi An and is increasingly available in Nha Trang restaurants and makes for a delectable experience. The dish features unique noodles made with an alkaline water process which gives the noodles a yellow colour and a chewy bite. The use of pork belly gives it a rich and deep savoury flavour.

10. Tropical Fruits: Don't forget to indulge in Nha Trang's abundant tropical fruits! From juicy mangoes and pineapples to sweet rambutan and exotic durian (for the adventurous!), the local fruit markets offer a colourful and refreshing experience.

These are just a few of the culinary treasures waiting for you in Nha Trang.
