1. Khoai deo (Soft Sweet Potatoes)

Khoai deo (Soft Sweet Potatoes)
Crafted from the vibrant and nutrient-rich sweet potatoes that thrive in this picturesque region, "Khoai Deo" stands as a testament to the simple yet meticulous artistry of Phong Nha's culinary traditions. Sweet potatoes have very good effects on health, providing vitamins A, C, and other essential nutrients that are beneficial for the stomach and help the body maintain water balance while supplementing minerals and fiber. In order to create a delectable snack, people process the potatoes to ensure their long-lasting preservation. Over time, thanks to its unique and distinct taste, "Khoai Deo" has become a specialty that captivates diners.
The preparation of "Khoai Deo" involves drying the sweet potato slices for approximately 10-12 days until they become tender and take on the color of cockroach wings. During this process, they are referred to as "slice deo." Regardless of how many times they undergo the sun and wind, the slices retain their gentle aroma and original sweetness intact. The perfect "Khoai Deo" is dry yet flexible like malt, boasting a red-yellow color resembling honey and a cool, sweet taste reminiscent of rock sugar. Savoring these delightful potato slices, both fragrant and pliable, is the epitome of enjoying the sweet taste that gently melts on the tip of one's tongue – a true celebration of the essence of sweet potatoes.

4. Lẩu cá khoai (Tarpon Hotpot)

Tarpon Hotpot
Tarpen hotpot is the first Quang Binh specialty to captivate discerning diners. The fish used for the hotpot must be the freshest and thickest available. After gutting the fish and removing the head and tail, it can be left whole or cut into pieces. It is then marinated with a little salt, pepper, chili, and spices before being pounded and chopped.
The popular ingredients for Quang Binh fish and tarpen hotpot include tomatoes, tamarind juice, star fruit, sauerkraut, sour bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and more. Once the hot pot boils, the fish is added and cooked until ready. The best taste is achieved when enjoying the hotpot immediately. Eating tarpen hotpot while it's still hot preserves the sweetness of the fish, preventing it from becoming crushed or fishy.
