FOOD
The first dish I chose was one of the house specialties, Star Fried Morning Glory with Garlic, priced at 30,000₫. (USD $1.20)
A surprisingly low price for such a well-prepared dish. The dish features fresh morning glory stir-fried quickly with garlic over high heat, where the rich aroma of garlic perfectly complements the crisp texture of the greens. From the first bite, the blend of garlic’s bold flavor and the morning glory’s refreshing crunch made it clear why this dish is so popular.
“This taste at this price? You can’t miss it! ✨”
Next up was Fried Spring Rolls Seafood, priced at 70,000₫. (USD $2.82)
The crispy fried shell of the spring rolls paired perfectly with the fresh seafood inside, bringing a taste of the sea with every bite. What stood out was how these spring rolls were light and non-greasy, making it easy to enjoy several without feeling weighed down.
I couldn’t believe the quality of this dish at such an affordable price—this restaurant truly offers incredible value.
Then came the dish I was most excited about, Fried Rice with Beef, also priced at 70,000₫. Each grain of rice was perfectly separated yet retained a delightful nuttiness.
The moment it touched my tongue, the fragrant butter and the depth of flavor from the well-seared beef combined to create an addictive taste that left nothing on the plate. What’s more, the rich flavor of the fried rice lingered, allowing me to savor each bite slowly.
DRINK
Throughout the meal, I refreshed my palate with a tangy Mango Smoothie and a Coconut Smoothie. The fresh taste of tropical fruits enveloped my taste buds, offering a cool respite from the warm weather. A must-try! The complimentary mango slices were incredibly fresh and sweet!
“Each smoothie was rich in the natural flavor of the fruits, unmatched by any other drink.” 🥭
DESSERT
But what impressed me the most was the complimentary fresh mango slices that came with the meal. This was a little bonus unique to this spot.
The vibrant yellow of the mango was visually stunning, and a single bite revealed its melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. These mangoes, also available for purchase at 25,000₫ (USD $1), were a real treat.
This little slice of fruit was so fresh and delicious that it solidified my belief that mango is a must-try in Vietnam.
The total for everything was 230,000₫, which is about USD $9.30. a price that truly reflects the cost of living in Vietnam!! 🌟
Traveling in Hoi An shines even brighter when you discover such small, humble eateries.
Experience the warmth, hospitality, and rich flavors hidden behind the simple phrase “Local Price.” I hope you, too, can feel the same joy I found in this little restaurant.
This hidden gem in Hoi An offers an unforgettable experience that will make you want to return again and again.
