Descrizione del tour
The Mekong Delta cooks differently from the rest of Vietnam. There is more sugar, more coconut, more freshwater fish, and a fermented fish paste called mam that is the region's backbone and its dividing line - people either love it or they will not go near it.
We start with banh cong, a fritter of mung bean, pork and a whole shrimp deep-fried in a small ladle until it is a crisp disc, wrapped in lettuce and herbs and dipped in nuoc cham. It is a Can Tho dish and the shop we use has been frying them in the same alley for decades.
Then the night market on Phan Chu Trinh, which is pedestrianised from six and runs to about eleven, for nem nuong rolls, grilled seafood and banh mi.
The centrepiece is lau mam: a hotpot built on fermented fish paste, with river fish, prawn, squid, pork belly and an enormous platter of Mekong vegetables and water plants - water lily stems, bitter herbs, banana flower - that your guide will name one by one. It is the single most regional thing you can eat in Vietnam.
Small group, maximum 10 guests.

Altre note
Runs daily at 17:30. The night market is at its busiest between seven and nine.
King tides: on peak-tide days between September and November the water comes up through the drains and floods central Ninh Kieu streets, sometimes ankle-deep, in the early evening. We check the lunar tide calendar when scheduling and will move your booking rather than wade you through it.
Mam: fermented fish paste is the defining flavour of this region and lau mam is built on it. It is pungent. Your guide will describe it honestly before we order and there is a non-mam hotpot alternative if you decide against it.
Addresses: the district tier was abolished in July 2025 and Can Tho City now includes the former Soc Trang and Hau Giang. Ninh Kieu is a ward.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. Vegetarian is workable in the delta, which has a strong Buddhist tradition, with notice.
About 1.5 km of walking on flat riverfront streets.
