A Must-Eat dish before leaving Hanoi: Cha Ca

During the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un. It was a media-attracted event to find a solution for the peace on the Korean peninsula. That is a reason why all eyes were on Hanoi and drew the attention of many foreign visitors and reporters to come to Hanoi. They have an opportunity to enjoy such delicious Vietnamese signature dishes that CNN advises not to leave Vietnam if not yet eating these dishes.

One of Vietnam's specialities is Cha Ca (Fried Catfish Dish). The name of the dish has an interesting origin. It takes after the name of a street. In the Old Quarter in Hanoi streets are named after vocation or trade they host. In reality, this food is not only favourite in northern Vietnam but most of the regions in Vietnam. In Cha Ca Street sits a restaurant, named La Vong, which only serves this kind of gastronomy.

The ingredients include catfish, dill, onion, turmeric and galangals. First of all, fish squares are marinated with turmeric and some additives, then they are fried in a pan and tossed with dill, onion and galangals. Last, it is served and added with herb, peanut, hot chillies and vermicelli.
