What to eat in Can Tho in two months?
You will land right in the middle of durian and rambutan season, so the fruit at the night market on Hai Ba Trung is absurdly good. For a proper meal, find a place doing lẩu mắm, the fermented fish hotpot that smells intense but tastes like the Mekong Delta in a bowl. Skip the touristy floating market boat food and instead grab bánh cống from a street cart near Ninh Kieu Wharf, they fry them fresh and the shrimp are still snappy.
tbh the best thing i ate in can tho was at the night market on hai ba trung, not the fruit but the grilled nem nuong. they wrap it in rice paper with green mango and herbs and dip it in this thick sweet chili sauce, it's messy but worth it. also if u see a lady selling che khoai mon (taro dessert soup) near the market entrance around 7pm, grab a cup, it's warm and coconutty and hits different after walking around.
honestly skip the touristy stuff and just hit the morning market on Tran Phu street, the hu tieu Nam Vang there is insane with that rich pork broth and fresh herbs. also grab some banh xeo from a random stall near the river, the crispy crepe with shrimp and bean sprouts is way better than any sit-down spot
