1. Ms. Sinh's Grilled Chicken and Bamboo Rice Restaurant
Topping the list of must-try dishes when coming to Mang Den is definitely grilled chicken. One of the famous restaurants with the famous dish of Kon Tum cuisine that you should experience is Ms. Sinh's Grilled Chicken with Bamboo Rice.
Mang Den grilled chicken is irresistibly delicious..
What makes Mang Den grilled chicken different is the way it is marinated. The chicken is marinated with some roots, leaves, honey and forest plants, so when grilled, it gives off a special aroma. The chicken used is a local chicken with firm meat. When grilled over enough heat, the skin is golden and crispy, while the inside remains moist and very soft to eat.
To go with grilled chicken, there is probably nothing more suitable than delicious bamboo rice cooked in bamboo tubes. Bamboo rice is cooked from sticky rice so it is sticky, rich with the characteristic aroma of young bamboo. Bamboo rice is often eaten with grilled dishes, but if dipped with sesame salt alone, it can also conquer the taste of many tourists.
Seasoning is important, but good quality chicken is the key to making this dish.
There are also wild vegetables, salads and roasted pork skewers. The roasted pork skewers here are very unique, not marinated with too many spices, but when you eat them you can feel the difference. The meat is sliced into medium pieces, the ratio of fat and lean is evenly distributed, the meat is soft and sweet. During peak hours, the restaurant is very crowded, often full of seats, so you should book a table in advance to avoid waiting too long.
