The ground pork is then marinated well in certain spices, rolled into small balls, and skewered to grill. The best way to savor the food is to let it go with fresh noodle, “banh hoi”(a type of Vietnamese vermicelli), herbs, and vegetables. What decides the perfect balance of the recipe is sour and sweet fish sauce – it is also a precious element in this Mekong Delta specialty. To those who love a diverse menu, there are famed dishes as well as must-try delicacies to pick here.
