Tam Ky chicken rice - a "brand" of Quang Nam

Together grilled meat rolls and Quang noodles, Tam Ky chicken rice has become something of a ‘brand’ in the central of Quang Nam Province.

This is a very famous food in Tam Ky city. The locals use chicken boiling water to cook with rice, so the rice has yellow color. 
It is not easy to cook an exemplary chicken rice plate. Tourist in Vietnam Tourism got to visit the master chefs in Quang Nam's street-side eateries.
 The first step in making this delicious chicken rice is to buy glutinous and fragrant rice, which is washed carefully before mixing with some ground ginger and garlic along with a bit of saffron powder to give it an attractive flavour and colour.


The next step is to put oil or chicken fat in a pot and wait for it to heat over a slow fire before adding some chopped garlic till it is golden brown. Stir the rice into the garlic and fry till the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally.
Choosing the right chicken is also important. It must be a young and tender chicken that is bred in the wild in rural areas.
After cleaning the chicken of all its feathers, it is placed in a pot of water over a steady fire .When the water boils, the fire should be reduced until the meat is done. One can check by poking a needle into the chicken and if it comes clean then it is done.
The chicken is then strained and the remaining stock is used for cooking the rice. The stock water level and the rice should be equal. After the rice is cooked, some pandan leaves are added for an aromatic flavour.
The cooked rice is soft and glutinous, not dry and pasty. When the pot cover is opened the fragrant and aromatic smell of rice should permeate. The chicken and pandan leaves together create their own unique flavour for Tam Ky chicken rice.
The rice is now ready to be served with some shredded chicken, blended with hot mint, lemon leaves, pepper and salt. It can be served along with fish sauce mixed with garlic and chili. Without a doubt, it is an incredibly tasty dish. 
Regular chicken rice eaters in Tam Ky say they never tire of the dish because it's flavors are so strong in Tam Ky. It's a dish, which tourist in Vietnam Tourism don't miss to enjoy!

Strange foods - why don’t you try?


Western culture considers that eating a dog is not good, but there will be no problem with other sorts of animals, as long as they are not called pets. However, for the vast majority of people on Earth, cultural values are very different. Some strange foods are considered a delicacy in some Asian cultures including China, Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar. Indeed, these food are very tasty and protein rich. May be you should try them some day if you are not vegetarian.
Dog meat is consumed in Vietnam to varying degrees of acceptability, though it predominantly exists in the North. It's a winter food which believed to keep you extraordinarily warm on cold nights.  Dog meat is eaten in a variety of ways, from grilled, stuffed in spring rolls, stir fried, to added to soups. There are multiple dishes featuring dog meat, and they often include the head, feet as well as internal organs. Dog meat restaurants can be found throughout the country. If you are in Hanoi and you are eager to try this dish, please come to a restaurant on Nhat Tan Street - Tay Ho District. Typically, a chef will choose one of seven ways to cook dog, collectively known as "cầy tơ 7 món". You can choosesteamed dog meat, dog sausage, steamed dog in shrimp paste, ginger and rice vinegar, grilled dog meat, bamboo shoots and dog bone marrow or fried dog in lemon grass and chili. Here, you can see groups of customers who seated on mats spending their evenings on sharing plates of dog meat and drinking alcohol.
Dog meat is supposed to raise the libido and sometimes considered unsuitable for women. In other words, eating dog meat can serve as amale bonding exercise. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for women to eat dog meat. The consumption of dog meat can be part of a ritual life which usually occurring in the end of the lunar month for reasons of astrology and luck. Restaurants which mainly exist to serve dog meat may only open for the last half of the lunar month.

Some kinds of snake dishes
Snakes are a common novelty and relished food. You can drink the wine as well as eat the flesh on several occasions. When I visit one of my Vietnamese friends, he caught a cobra outside his front door and shared it with me on evening. Actually, there is very little meat on a cobra, so the skin is eaten as well. In the village of Le Mat, which famous for its snake restaurants, I tried snake meat in a number of ways, including in soup (both the taste and texture was like crab meat) and spring rolls (tastes like chicken). Furthermore, snake blood is supposed to be healthy with many benefits as well as a natural form of Viagra. So what is its taste like? I was surprised that tasting a fried meat actually a bit like custardThere is no fat and extremely lean and tender. After trying snake, you will surely be back for more.
Lizards and frogs (best grilled) are standard fare in Phan Thiet. Some of my friend said that he had never tried frog until he came to Vietnam, but now he like it a lot. If you ever order a frog dish in Vietnam, pay attention to the bones! During rainy season, Vietnamese people catch toads and boil them up. They merely cut out the stomach organ and eat the rest-skin, guts and all.

I watched my friends eating trung vit lon for many months before trying it myself. These fertilized duck eggs are allowed to partially develop and then, they are hard-boiled. Crack the top off, suck out the juice and then spoon out the colorful morsels with pinches of pickled carrots, garlic, radish, turnip, some mint leaves, and a dash of salt and pepper.
Experience had taught me that in Vietnam, food nearly always tastes better than it looks. When traveling, you always want to experience the culinary delights that you never see at home. Eating different and unusual food is a big part of what makes your holiday memorable…

Quang noodle, so good speciality!


Knowing Vietnamese noodles can be extremely helpful, as “pho” is to Hanoi and beef rice noodles is to Hue, Quang noodles is very popular in Quang Nam and Da Nang.


Quang noodle soups differ than most normal noodle soups in that the soups have just enough broth to barely cover the noodles. Unlike other Vietnamese noodle soup bowls whose broth will cover the noodles almost completely, Quang noodle broth is barely enough to slurp during the meal. If you do not eat a Quang noodle bowl fast enough, the broth will generally quickly be soaked up by the noodles. Quang noodle soups are generally pork and dried shrimp broth based, although some regional and family recipes will use chicken and even duck. What makes Quang noodle soups unique is the richness of the broth, the lack of it and the crushed peanut toppings on the noodles.
The mystery of Quang noodle is in that pot above. This is ‘nuoc sot mi quang’ or Quang noodle sauce. This makes the stock slightly sweet and a smidgen spicy. This dish's ingredients include rice, vegetables and meat. After being soaked in water, the rice is ground to a fine powder and made into attractive smooth white noodles. Accompanying vegetables are water morning-glory, cress, young banana flowers and herbs. Especially, the famous Tra Que savory of Quang Nam Province will give the dish more flavour. You can use pork, chicken, fish, crab or shrimp to make the broth. If chicken is chosen, the meat is separated, seasoned and stir-fried while the bones are stewed. Finish the stock by adding cooked chicken meat.
There are many Quang noodle restaurants in Quang Nam and Da Nang. Each area is famous for one certain recipe. For example, Thanh Chiem Village in Dien Ban District, Quang Nam Province is known for shrimp noodle, while chicken noodle is at its best in Tuy Loan, Hoa Vang District, Da Nang City.
A traditional version says: “I make for you, darling, green tea and Quang noodles to express my feelings”. Thus, you can visit a Quang noodle kiosk in Danang City to enjoy the typical flavor of the soups, for instance: Ngan Quang Noodle at 108 Dong Da Street, Lu Quang Noodle at Ham Nghi Street, Vi Quang Noodle at 155 Trung Nu Vuong Street and so on.

Vung Tau- A place for the convergence of beautiful beaches

To most tourists in Vietnam travel, Vung Tau is one of the most interesting destinations and loved for its extensive beaches. Tourists always prefer sightseeing at Front Beach (Bãi Trước) and going swimming in Back Beach (Bãi Sau).

As not far from Ho Chi minh city, only travelling about 125 kilometers,  Vung Tau city is located in the peninsula of the name same. This is the border of  the South and the West of Vietland, where we can see the sun on the East Sea, both sunrise and sunset.
Vung Tau beach
The first beach is front beach (Bãi Trước in Vietnamese), in the West of the city, where the sun goes down. The Front Beach is considered the façade of Vung Tau city. It is also called by other names such as Tam Duong beach or Hang Dua bay. Besides the best location, the beach is also preferred for having many restaurants and elegant hotels. Sparking, colorful and bright light boulevard make the Front Beach more beautiful.

Front Beach (Bãi Trước)
Opposite to the Front Beach is, Back beach (Thuy Van beach or Bãi Sau in Vietnamese). Back Beach is well-known for its over 10 kilometers of fine sand seaside. The beach is always excited and busy with almost tourists both from the city itself and the world. At weekends or on holidays, thousands of people often come here for swimming and entertainment. In the Back Beach, there is a popular kind of entertainment: Paradis, the upgraded swimming and relaxing area, and a system of modern hotels, welcoming all tourists joining tours to Vietnam. Other beautiful beaches are Pineapple Beach (Bãi Dứa) and Mudberry Beach (Bãi Dâu).

Back Beach (Bãi Sau)
From the Front Beach, Halong street curls to the Pineapple Beach. The reason for placing that name dated a long time ago, when the beach had many pineapple trees, thus it was called Pineapple garden. Many Vung Tau people also call the beach Lang Du, which originated from the local’s first restaurant’s name.
Right in here, the sea goes far into the land and the rock mountain goes from the land to the sea establishing romantic and hidden small beaches. The beach attracts a lot of tourists. Nearby, the Temple of Southern sea Saint and Tinh Xa nirvana are attractive tourist sites, which were built on one of these rock mountains.
Mudberry Beach lying in the North of the city is at the foot of Nui Lon. There used to be a lot of mudberry and ratten so it is also named Ratten beach. Nevertheless, today, there is no longer any mudberry and ratten. So now, when talking about Bai Dau, people think of a windless and rocky beach. Tourists in Vietnam travel should walk on about a few meters to see a 30m-high statue of Mother Maria shining in the green picturesque forest and sea landscape.
If you are searching the tourism information from Vietnam Travel Companies in the Internet and make a plan to visit Vietnam in the near future, I myself advises you not to pass Ba Ria- Vung Tauwhere many beautiful beaches are converged. You can spend your time and enjoy your good vacation trip here.

Ethnic minority ‘crucial' to tourism

The Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands) provinces should focus on improving the lives of their ethnic minority communities as a crucial step to reinvigorating the faltering tourism sector in the region, experts say.
Thriving ethnic minority communities are essential to preserving and developing the region's unique cultural diversity, they added.Other challenges that need to be tackled urgently to revive tourism in the region include extensive deforestation, climate change impacts and the loss of intangible cultural treasures.
Despite boasting great natural beauty and cultural diversity, tourism growth in the region only grew by 12 per cent annually in the 2001-10 period. The number of tourists to the region has not increased significantly during the past 10 years, and has even dropped in several years, Sai Gon Giai Phong reported on Saturday.



Foreign travellers visit the home of an E De ethnic family 
in Lak District, Dak Lak Province.
It quoted Associate Professor Truong Quoc Binh of the Vietnam Art and Culture Institute, a member of the National Culture Heritage Committee, as saying the Central Highlands provinces must work together to preserve all their traditional values and restore their natural treasures to ensure sustainable socio-economic development.

Other experts also said the region needed closer linkages and co-operation among its provinces to revive its tourism sector.

Dr. Le Van Minh of the Institute of Tourism Research and Development said this would play a vital role in exploiting each province's tourism potential. It would help develop diverse, high-quality tourism products, thus enhancing the region's tourism competitiveness, he said.

Vu Van Tu, director of Lam Dong Province's Department of Tourism, Trading and Investment Promotion, said the Central Highlands region had great potential to develop eco-tourism.

Each province in the region had unique and special features, therefore, all the provinces needed to co-operate and create a "tourism product chain that has high cultural values," Tu said. Lam Dong has worked with other localities like the coastal south-central region, HCM City and other Central Highlands provinces to boost Vietnam tourism, but the linkages we re still not strong enough to fully tap the potential, he added.

The Central Highlands region comprises five provinces: Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong. These provinces are home to more than 40 ethnic minority communities, making the region a treasure house of cultural diversity, which coupled with its abundant natural attractions, presents great tourism potential.

The region boasts numerous picturesque ponds, lakes and waterfalls, primeval forests and national parks as well as favourable weather all year round. It also has a number of ancient villages where ethnic minority people like K'Ho, E De, Jarai, Bahnar, M'Nong and others reside.

The region's Gong culture has already been recognised by the UNESCO as a world intangible culture heritage.

Oceanography Nha Trang Institute

The Institute of Oceanography in Nha Trang City (Khanh Hoa Province) is considered a Wikipedia on marine ecological system. Visitors to the Institute can observe the rich and lively images as well as learn about the life of the sea creatures and ecological samples.

The Institute was established in 1923 and directly managed by the French. Since 1952, it has become one of the specialized research institutes under the Vietnam travel agency, Academy of Science and Technology.

The Institute's premier facility is on 20ha, located onshore but close to the deep-sea area and a meeting place of the hot-cold sea currents with several layers from the water surface to the sea bed, hence it provides favourable conditions for sea creatures to settle and live.


The Institute has 20 specialized departments and different showrooms. The mock-up of the "Terrains of Vietnamese continental shelf" provides visitors with general information of the Vietnamese sea. It works as a guide book on the depth of the sea, the bio-diversity, profits gained from the sea, information of marine environmental protection, and others.

The tank to rear tortoises.

The Museum of Oceanography located in the Institute of Oceanography has many showrooms of the sea creatures and the eco-system. Visiting the aquarium, visitors seem to be lost in a colourful world of rare and valuable sea creatures, such as sea anemones, red and blue starfish, holothurians, snakes, tortoises, shrimp, fish, etc.

In the out-door sea creature rearing tank, visitors will have a general view of the diversity in colours and species of fish. Many rare and valuable species of fish are being reared, including amberjack, macropodus and king fish. Of special interest is the stripped dragon fish which has red, brown and yellow colours, with its front fins stretching like that of the bird, its back fin with 13 poisonous thorns, its thin fan-like tail with spots, its dragon-like head, and its body moving as gentle as a dancing fairy. The limuloids, often living in pairs, are said to have been in existence for about 400 million years. Big fish, like the shark, skate and neck-stripped fish are reared in a separate tank.

In another showroom, on display are 20,000 samples of sea creatures from Southeast Asia which were collected from the East Sea and surrounding areas during survey trips. They have been preserved carefully for the purpose of protecting the bio-diversity of the sea creatures.

The samples are divided into two categories: big and small. Among the big samples are a Humpback Whale skeleton of 18m in length and 18 tonnes in weight, which was found in Nam Ha Province in 1994; a skeleton of Dugong found in November 1997 in Lo Voi Beach (Con Dao Island), a species in risk of extinction. The small samples include a carrier-swift in its nest made from its own saliva and built on the side of high cliffs; a green spotted octopus first found in Vietnam in 1999; the sea calf, the Chinese sturgeon and the king crab found in the surrounding areas of the Vietnamese sea.

At the Institute of Oceanography visitors may have a feeling that they are taking in a tour underneath the ocean where they observe thousands of sea creatures. They also have a chance to see a survey ship of 30DWT with a speed of 8 miles/hour, which is used by the Institute's researchers on their trips to explore the ocean.

The Institute's library has more than 7,000 books and 60,000 scientific journals sent by 140 international organizations from 30 countries, with many of them being marine scientific documents compiled in the 18th-19th centuries - all are very helpful for scientists and research work. The Institute of Oceanography has contributed many huge research projects to the cause of exploring and protecting the East Sea. They include 1,100 printed publications, of which those on the bio-diversity account for 62.6%, 11.6% on oceanographic physics, 7.6% on eco-environment, 5.4% on marine geology and geomorphology, and 4.4% on oceanographic chemistry and bio-chemistry.

Departing the Institute of Oceanography, visitors will surely have useful knowledge of the marine potential and preservation work of the Vietnamese oceanography as well as people's awareness of protecting the ocean.
