5 Quy Nhon specialties that are both delicious and cheap, customers tell each other to try them once

Jumping shrimp pancake

When talking about Quy Nhon specialties, we cannot help but mention the famous jumping shrimp pancake. The reason why this dish has such a strange and unique name is because the ingredients used to make the pancake are made from fresh, "jumping" shrimps and river shrimps.

The pancake is about the size of a hand with a slightly thick crust. The filling is full, including many shrimps arranged in a circle on top, with bean sprouts and green onions.

Jumping shrimp pancakes are often enjoyed with pineapple or mango, shredded cucumber, rolled with raw vegetables, then rolled in rice paper and dipped in fish sauce with garlic and chili (Photo: Nhut Voza).

In Quy Nhon, visitors can find and enjoy this cake at some famous addresses such as Gia Vy pancake, Ong Hung pancake, Ba Nam My Cang pancake, Anh Vu pancake, Mon Que Eo Gio restaurant...

Shrimp spring rolls

Another famous specialty in Quy Nhon is also made from shrimp, which makes diners crazy, is spring rolls. This dish is made from fresh shrimp and pork belly.

In particular, the spring roll skin must be selected from Binh Dinh dew-dried rice paper so that when fried, it will be crispy and fatty.

Coming to Quy Nhon, tourists can enjoy shrimp spring rolls at many eateries and restaurants or buy them as gifts at some famous addresses such as Tuyet Sang, Di Anh, Hong Hanh, Tien Trang, Co Hien... (Photo: Nhut Voza).

When eating, diners roll the shrimp spring rolls with vegetables, rice paper, and dip them in chili sauce or sweet and sour fish sauce, both are delicious.

Crab vermicelli

Although a rustic dish familiar to Quy Nhon people, crab noodle soup is still strange to many tourists. Instead of using crab like other noodle dishes, this dish is made from crab - a creature of the crab family, thin-bodied, yellow-bellied, often living in saltwater swamps or rice fields.

Crab vermicelli looks no different from crab vermicelli soup, but the broth is more fragrant and sweet, with the addition of fatty, rich crab fat, making it very appealing (Photo: Truong Van).

Before cooking, the crab is cleaned, the roe is taken separately, the meat is ground, the juice is filtered and simmered over low heat until thick and scum appears.

The roe is then stir-fried with shallots and seasoned to taste. Depending on the restaurant, the roe is mixed directly into the broth or kept separately, and only served when the customer orders.

Jellyfish noodles

Another equally famous noodle dish in Quy Nhon is jellyfish noodle, attracting both locals and tourists with its fresh, naturally sweet flavor.

There are two types of jellyfish here: ear jellyfish and foot jellyfish. The ear jellyfish is clear, watery, soft, and not tasty to eat, so people often use the foot jellyfish to cook noodles, ensuring a strange, crunchy taste that is pleasing to the ear.

Jellyfish noodles have a refreshing taste so they are considered a "heat-relieving" specialty that can be enjoyed at any time of the day (Photo: Quang Vinh).

A full serving of noodles includes noodles, chopped jellyfish and broth, sprinkled with crushed roasted peanuts, fish cakes, crispy spring rolls and sliced green mango. The sweet and sour broth is simmered from bones, mixed with the fatty taste of peanuts, creating an attractive flavor for the dish.

Rice noodles, fish rolls

Another Quy Nhon specialty, although simple but equally delicious and loved by diners, is rice noodle soup. The noodles are handmade so they are soft and chewy, combined with a milky white broth, rich in sweetness, served with fish cakes, meatballs and quail eggs.

Noodle soup and fish rolls are worth trying if visitors want to fill their stomachs for a late afternoon snack in Quy Nhon (Photo: Hetagram).

When enjoying banh canh, visitors can order fish rolls. These rolls are similar to other traditional rolls, but the filling has a special ingredient: fish, rolled with raw vegetables, wrapped in rice paper and dipped in fish sauce with garlic and chili.

Coming to Quy Nhon, tourists who want to enjoy the famous noodle soup can visit familiar addresses of the locals such as Tu U noodle soup shop, Ba Bien shrimp noodle soup, O Hue crab noodle soup, Ba O noodle soup, Ba Sam noodle soup...
