Hanoi Fish with Tumeric and Dill - Cha Ca La Vong

The streets of Hanoi's old town are named in traditional commerce fashion. However, you can no longer find chickens for sale on Chicken Street.

You can, however, find Cha Ca on Cha Ca street. Cha Ca is a distinct hot pot meal of fish, turmeric, dill, coriander and other greens served with noodles, peanuts, vinegar and chilies.

When you enter Cha Ca La Vong restaurant, a small card is placed on your table indicating that only one dish is served. After a short time, the main event shows up - sizzling fish in a yellow tumeric sauce. Pile in the greens and noodles, tasty bits, stir and enjoy the feast!
