Sa Dec Noodle Soup (Hu Tieu)

A century-old culinary icon of Sa Dec. The highlight is the signature noodle made from local premium rice flour, which is white, soft, yet uniquely chewy. Served with a clear, sweet bone broth, char siu pork, pork offal, prawns, and a special savory thick glaze for the dry version.

Must Try

Grilled Snakehead Fish Wrapped in Young Lotus Leaves

An authentic rustic delicacy reflecting the land of lotuses. Fresh snakehead fish is buried under dry straw and slow-grilled to retain its natural sweetness. The fish flesh is then wrapped in young, astringent lotus leaves that have just emerged from the water, dipped in a rich, tangy tamarind sauce.
