With its special geographical location, Ca Mau is a land where forests, seas, rivers and fertile alluvium intersect, creating a rich source of raw materials to prepare many unique, rustic dishes. The cuisine here bears a strong Southern imprint, while blending with the typical culinary features of Kinh - Hoa - Khmer, creating richness and its own identity.
Mentioning Ca Mau , people think of A Mat pancakes, Ngan Dua rice cakes, spicy beef noodles, and specialties of shrimp, crab, three-sided crab, U Minh fish sauce... These dishes are not only closely associated with the people's lives but also leave a strong impression on visitors from afar.
