Location:
The location of the restaurant is in District 1 in Ho Chi Minh city. It is secluded in place, and usually only able to find this restaurant from the help of local people. So good luck in searching for this restaurant.
Description:
Has been to HCMC few times, but this is the only time that I took the food's photo to upload to the blog. According to the local people here, this restaurant has 3 branches across HCMC. So you gotta find the correct place. When I reach this restaurant, I guess they have around 200 tables (size like a mahjong tables) and is always full of people, and 99% is local here. Guess what, the reason is the food here is in reasonable price. The food you see below is less than RM100 altogether.
From the restaurant name, it is already mentioned as "South". Means this restaurant serving all the popular Southern food eaten by the local people here.
There is one thing that I missed out for this food trip, where I forgot to capture the photo for their sauce served together with the dishes. Actually the sauce here is quite unique, and most of the sauce is salty in taste.
Foods:
1. BBQ Piglet
The piglet taste just any normal bbq piglet that we have back in our country. Crispy is the keyword for this dish. However, you can see the process how they bbq the piglet, and it takes a of time to make it ready for customer. So many customers every night, imagine how many piglet they need to bbq every night.
2. BBQ Crocodile Meat
The meat is marinated with their special sauce. It is purely the meat, and nothing much then that. My friend took the meat and bbq it. I tried it, and you don't feels anything funny about it. If they didn't tell you that it is crocodile, you wouldn't know and keep eating. It is more delicious when you put together with the sauce that prepared for this food.
3. Vietnamese version of "Balut"
The food is served with small version of century egg. You need to peel off the shell, and what you see is shown in the picture below. But of course, it doesn't taste that bad since it is quite small in size. Take the embryo and apply the local sauce again, and quickly eat it before you vomit it out. Hahaha......
4. Coconut shoot
The main thing of the dish is the coconut dish. Together, they serve it with pork meat and some fresh prawn. You need to put the coconut shoot and pork into the small fried prawn biscuit ("har peng") and dip it to the sauce. Once get into your mouth, it taste sweet and sour. I didn't take the vege too much as I personally don't like to eat this vege.
5. Spring roll
This is just another normal dish for us. Nothing special here, as we can easily find the spring roll back in home country. The only different is you can take the spring roll together with the raw vege (without cook). It taste different in this case.
6. Others
This is fresh ikan haruan (snakehead fish) where they bbq it.
Besides that, they also bbq what.... MONITOR LIZARD.... see the below photo... when I took this picture, actually the tail is still moving.... wonder why on earth we dare to eat this... Of course I didn't eat this, as this is just for your viewing purposes....kekeke....
