What to Eat & Drink

Men Men (Steamed Corn Flour) & Thang Co Soup
Must Try

Men Men (Steamed Corn Flour) & Thang Co Soup

The ultimate traditional culinary combo of the local Hmong group on the karst plateau. Men men is made from indigenous corn hand-ground in stone mills and twice-steamed to achieve a rich, fluffy texture. It is traditionally enjoyed mixed directly into a bowl of hot horse-offal Thang Co soup, spiced up with roasted chilies.

Au Tau Night Porridge (Bitter Aconite Porridge)
Must Try

Au Tau Night Porridge (Bitter Aconite Porridge)

A one-of-a-kind night porridge found only in Ha Giang. The au tau root (a highly toxic yet medicinal tuber) is slow-simmered for over 12 hours to eliminate toxins, then cooked with local upland sticky rice, rich pork trotters, and an egg yolk. It features a signature bitter taste followed by a sweet aftertaste, perfect for recovering after a long mountain drive.

Buckwheat Cakes & Thang Den Sweet Soup
Must Try

Buckwheat Cakes & Thang Den Sweet Soup

A sweet street food duo that warms up the cold mountain nights. Buckwheat cakes are crafted from the seeds of Ha Giang's iconic floral blossom, grilled to a nutty fragrance. They are perfectly paired with hot Thang Den sweet soup—chewy rice balls swimming in a rich, warm ginger-sugar syrup topped with grated coconut and roasted peanuts.
