3. Top 7 must-try dishes at Bac My An Market

Entering the market, you will be overwhelmed by many mouth-watering dishes. Among which, some must-try names are: 

3.1. Fried spring rolls with mustard greens (Ram cuon cai)

Ram cuon cai at Bac My An Market is quite similar to spring rolls in Northern Vietnam, with a slight difference in the type of rice paper and fillings.

3.2. Vermicelli with fermented fish sauce (Bun mam nem)

Vermicelli with fermented fish sauce is a must-try reasonably-priced dish at Bac My An Market. Ingredients include rice vermicelli, roasted or boiled pork, boiled pig’s ears, beef bologna, and a tasty anchovy fish sauce. It is served with a variety of vegetables, such as thinly-sliced unripe papaya and mango, lettuce, and beansprouts.

As its name suggests, the exquisiteness of bun mam nem depends mostly on its anchovy fish sauce. For an aromatic and sweet taste, this special sauce is often mixed with fresh chopped pineapple, a little boiling water, sugar, chili, and garlic. The amazing mixture of various flavors, including the richness of anchovy fish sauce, the sweetness of pork, and the amazing aroma of fresh greens, has fascinated a lot of diners over the years.

3.3. Rice paper pork rolls (Banh trang cuon thit heo)

Rice paper pork roll is one of the most famous specialties of Da Nang, which is also available at Bac My An Market. It is a nutritious dish with fresh ingredients - pieces of rolled belly pork, a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs, along with thin slices of cucumber, green bananas, and a dipping sauce. 

Much like bun mam nem, the dipping sauce is the soul of this treat. The tastier the dipping sauce, the better the dish becomes. Although rice paper pork roll can be served with either sweet or sour fish sauce, it is preferred to dip it into mam nem - a sauce made from fermented anchovies, sugar, Thai chili pepper, garlic, lemongrass, and crushed pineapples. The sweetness of the pork and fresh vegetables and the spiciness of the fish sauce combine to make an irresistible dish.

When served, the pancake is wrapped in a soft rice paper, added with some raw vegetables. Then, it is dipped in a special sauce which is a highlight of this dish, made of liver pate, hoisin sauce, and garlic. The combination of various flavors gives an unforgettable aftertaste.

Mi Quang is a typical dish of Da Nang that you can try at Bac My An Market. A bowl of mi Quang comprises noodles, broth, toppings, and fresh vegetables. The noodles used for this dish are quite similar to those of Pho, as they are both made from rice flour and sliced into flat strands. The broth is rich and luscious, made from water with stewed pork bones or chicken. You can select between chicken, pork, shrimp, or fish as toppings. Additional vegetables such as scallion, bean sprouts, lettuce, basil, coriander, and sliced banana flowers are must-haves to round out the flavor. Taking a bite of Mi Quang, you can feel the richness of shrimp, meat, and eggs, the spiciness of chili, and the aroma of lemon, rice paper, and raw vegetables.

3.7. Avocado ice cream (Kem bo)

Avocado ice cream is a unique specialty of Bac My An Market. A glass of avocado ice cream includes mashed avocado at the bottom, a thick layer of ice cream and coconut milk at the middle, and dried coconuts and peanuts on top. These ingredients all combine to make an eye-catching and rich dish. While avocado and ice cream are fat, coconut milk, dried coconuts, and peanuts are fragrant, crunchy, and buttery.
