Cuisine of the Mekong Delta

The cuisine of the Mekong Delta (Southwestern Vietnam) bears the distinct mark of a land blessed by nature with abundant produce. The dishes here are renowned for their freshness, purity, and natural sweetness. People in the Mekong Delta make the most of the abundant shrimp and fish, wild vegetables, and the rich flavor of coconut to create truly unique and rustic feasts.

Below is a guide to the most iconic dishes in the Mekong Delta region (My Tho, Ben Tre, Can Tho) that your company group shouldn’t miss:

1. Iconic specialties of the riverine region

• Deep-fried elephant ear fish (My Tho – Ben Tre): A legendary dish on every Mekong Delta tour. Fresh fish with its scales intact is deep-fried until the scales stand on end, crispy on the outside, while the meat inside remains sweet, tender, and moist. The fish is wrapped in rice paper with vermicelli, various wild herbs, and dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce.
• My Tho rice noodle soup: A famous breakfast dish featuring rice noodles made from characteristic sand-grain rice, which are chewy and translucent. The broth is simmered from beef/pork bones, dried shrimp, and grilled squid, creating a rich, sweet flavor, served with minced meat, liver, fresh shrimp, and quail eggs.
• Delicious dishes made from coconut (Ben Tre): Ben Tre, the land of coconuts, offers unique culinary experiences such as steamed shrimp in coconut water (shrimp that is sweet and fragrant with the scent of coconut), coconut heart salad (the youngest, crunchy core of the coconut tree mixed with shrimp and meat), and the famous chewy and creamy coconut candy.
• Fish Hot Pot & Freshwater Fish Dishes (Can Tho): The soul of Can Tho’s cuisine, with a hot pot broth made from fermented snakehead fish or catfish, cooked with catfish, eel, pork belly, and served with a rich platter of over 20 types of freshwater vegetables (water lilies, water spinach, wild jasmine, bitter herbs…). In addition, there is the famous grilled snakehead fish with its fragrant straw aroma.

2. Culinary adaptation for international guests (Muslim & Vegetarian)

The Mekong Delta ecological garden area currently lacks restaurants that are Halal Certified. However, due to the large influx of international tourists, the restaurants here are very professional in adapting their menus to cater to Muslim customers.

Seafood & Fresh Vegetarian Menu: The group will be provided with a menu featuring 100% fresh river/sea seafood (such as battered and fried elephant ear fish, coconut-grilled shrimp, crab, grilled snakehead fish) or a purely vegetarian menu made from locally grown vegetables.

Strict processing standards: The kitchen is committed to rigorous standards:

• Pork-free: Absolutely no pork, pork fat, or fish sauce contaminated with pork should be used in cooking.
• Alcohol-free: Do not use alcohol or beer for cooking or removing fishy odors.
• Arrange the kitchen area and cookware (pots, pans, and eating utensils) separately and cleanly to avoid cross-contamination with prohibited ingredients.

Natural Drinks & Fruits: Muslim guests can enjoy fresh, garden-picked fruits (mangoes, rambutan, pineapples) and fresh, whole coconut water – 100% natural Halal products.
