    Banh gat gu is made from steaming rice flour mixture. When you eat it, the cake is dipped in a special sauce, along with a piece of caramelized pork. This sauce is really a star of this dish. Having an okay or amazing experience with this food all depends on the sauce. The feeling of cool, soft cake and juicy pork is an enchanting culinary experience.

    This would be a nice choice after devouring many seafood dishes. The origin of this cake is in Hoa Binh Street Tien Yen Town, Quang Ninh but you can easily try it in Ha Long.

  • Ngan

    This specialty is weird from its Vietnamese name. Ngan is known as a unique species of Veneridae, and inhabitants here use it to create a tasty drink, but food. The drink brings you a more disgusting feeling when you know that it is a mixture of Ngan’s blood and Vietnamese rice wine. Nonetheless, don’t think like that anymore because of its mouthwatering taste. Many tourists who have ever come here said that tasting the wine is like a way to perceive the rustic life of locals in Ha Long Bay.
