Can Tho, Vietnam
My Tho vs Can Tho:
My Tho and its surrounding areas ( Ben Tre, Cai Be, Vinh Long..) have long been
tourists' traps as they are bombarded with herds of whirlwind visitors on a day
trip from Saigon while Can Tho remains some kind of Mekong Delta at a raw with
some stunning floating markets of Cai Rang, Phong Dien, Phung Hiep...
Food:
Elephant ear fish: number one must try dish
Small pancakes: Banh Khot
Hu tiu My Tho: is the most famous dish of My Tho. Made from instant and crystal
noodles and served with special broth, meat and vegetables. Hu tiu sa te is
another type of hu tiu My Tho. However, it is more flavourful and spicier. Hu
tiu My Tho smells best if you squeeze a little lime juice in the bowl and eat
with several star-fruit slices.
