Giant isopod (Bọ biển) – the scariest deep sea delicacy in VietnamCan’t picture how an alien-like creature tastes? Try the grilled giant isopod. 

Giant isopods, one of the scariest looking creatures from the ocean, take Vietnamese seafood to an extreme. The cockroaches of the ocean live at the bottom of the sea, which consumes dead animals falling to the ocean floor. 

This is the delicacy of the Vietnamese wealthy class. The isopod is rare and hard to catch, which sky-rockets its values. An average isopod is worth over $100. The isopods are cooked in various ways, but according to local foodies, there are the best 3 unique isopod dishes. The sea cockroaches are always first steamed up in a streetside sauna for 20 minutes. After that, the real fun begins:

Deep-fried isopod: They are cut into pieces, coated with flour, then deep-fried for a couple of minutes. Then, they are tossed to another wok where they are seasoned with a load of salty spices and stirred with garlic, ginger, leeks, and chilies.

Fried isopod with pork fat: For fried isopod, the sea creature is stir-fried with a blazing sweet and sour hot sauce. What makes this version incredibly dynamite is the added pork fat, which boosts the fulfilling fatness and bold flavor. 

Grilled isopod: Firstly, the chef removes the shell from the isopod’s belly. Then, it is tossed on the grill and topped with scallion fat and lots of peanuts.

Though the seafood delicacy is very high priced, it is absolutely worth a shot. Take one big bite, you will feel the savory oceanic aroma enfolding your body. It is like the entire ocean is in your mouth assaulting your taste buds. So if you are down for some high-end supersize aquatic species, this dish is for you.

Have these dishes sparked your curiosity yet? The craziness doesn’t stop here, let’s jump to the higher level of insanity.

The first destination in Da Lat you should head to is Datanla Waterfalls. It is one of the most famous sets of falls in Da Lat. To fully enjoy the charming beauty of Datanla Waterfalls, visiting the falls in the dry season is highly recommended. Going to the waterfalls during the rainy season can be dangerous because the walking steps alongside the waterfall are very slippery.

At Datanla Waterfalls, there is a variety of intriguing adventurous activities for travelers such as trekking, canyoning, zip-lining, and water-sliding. Taking the self-controlled coaster for an adrenalin-spike ride from the summit of the falls down to the base below is a must-try experience. You can determine the sliding speed yourself. If you want to fully embrace the waterfall surroundings, you can simply walk along the trails next to the waterfalls and enjoy the crystal-clear water at the base.

Until now, paragliding is much loved and participated by many travelers visiting the Lang Biang mountain.

That is the historical perspective of Tet’s origin. What about the legend where Tet began – the legend that is told to every single Vietnamese kid as a bedtime story?

Here is how the story goes: “As the 18th prince of Hung King – the first feudal system of Vietnam, Lang Lieu had to participate in a contest to become the next king. Days after days and he came up with nothing to present his father – the King. Then one night, a fairy showed up in his dream and told him about 2 special cakes that would make him stand out from the rest. One square cake – Chung cake, represents the Earth, and another round one – Giay cake, stands for the sky.”

Nowadays, Chung cake and Giay cake are still present among other Tet delicacies. Some say it is a tradition that needs to be preserved. Others are just simply into the taste of these delicious cakes.
