If you can understand the Vietnamese Language, you would know what this means :-

Chả cá Lã Vọng là tên của một đặc sản Hà Nội. Đây là món cá tẩm ướp, nướng trên than rồi rán lại trong chảo mỡ, do gia đình họ Đoàn tại số nhà 14 phố Chả Cá (trước là phố Hàng Sơn) trong khu phố cổ giữ bí quyết kinh doanh và đặt tên cho nó như trên.

If your like me, Chả cá Lã Vọng is an experience! Sara first read about it somewhere, and she did some searching on the web. Armed with that information, we headed out to a place in District 1 of HCMC, eager to try this dish native to Hanoi. Basically, Its pan friend Snake Fish served with herbs and rice noodles. Sometimes they put a drop of this Pheromone of a beetle, which cost like 20,000 VND per drop, which we of course declined.

The fish was excellent! I honestly have not tasted something with such a unique taste before, and this is a MUST do for me if you come to vietnam.
