Food and Drink
Ba Be famous with farming and fishing conditions so that come to this place on your Vietnam tours, you will have the chance to lick on the freshest dishes ever. All the ingredient comes from the local field or takes from the lakes and rivers, especially fish.
I never can forget the taste of Lon Cap Nach from my Vietnam travel tour packages. Its name can know as pig carried under the arm because the pigs are so small that you can bring it under your arms. Sound strange, isn’t it? But truth me, you never can find another dish more impressed than this one. The dish is made from the pig which is under 10kg in weight and raised in the forest or field to have the sweetest and tender meat. With the homemade spices, the grilled or roasted pig is the most wanted dish for your dinner.
Beside Lon Cap Nach, you can try Chicken, Tofu and various vegetable when you are on tour packages in Vietnam to Ba Be Lake. All of them are fresh and tasty that are so sweet for your meal. Have dinner with the local people while listening traditional music, or some fairy story is the best way to through your stress away.
Now book your tour and take your luggage, it’s time to explore and try all of these things by yourself. Hope you the best trips and most beautiful memories!
