Discover the fresh taste of the sea at La Cod fusion seafood

With the creativity of MasterChef Vietnam judge Pham Tuan Hai, the seafood dishes here are a smooth combination of European cooking methods, Asian spices and fresh local seafood. You can find pure Vietnamese dishes such as braised carp with galangal or braised snakehead fish in a clay pot... to French-style seafood hotpot or Japanese-style seafood salad. At noon, La Cod is a place for office workers to relax with office meals priced from 150,000 VND or less. In the evening, when the streets are lit up, La Cod is a place for you to gather with friends and "party" in the true sense with refreshing salads, hotpots or fragrant and hot grilled dishes... for only about 300,000 VND/person.

Contrary to many people’s expectations that Chef Pham Tuan Hai will present elaborate food stylist dishes, at La Cod, there is not a single item or object on your table that only serves as decoration. Each dish is combined with ingredients that are in harmony with each other in color and flavor, neither too much nor too little. Bowls, plates, trays or even… cutting boards when chosen to display dishes are all because they have the effect of keeping the dish fresher longer, more fragrant, or more delicious – not just because they are beautiful.

In particular, you may be surprised to see many dishes displayed on a layer of white, translucent wax paper. Not only does it absorb excess oil in fried dishes, this odorless wax paper also helps keep ingredients fresh longer (in salads), prevents food from coming into direct contact with charcoal (in grilled dishes), and prevents bacteria from penetrating from the ice cubes (in salads). It can be said that when you believe that seafood is the least polluted and least toxic food, now you can believe it again: every dish at La Cod is aimed at the "cleanest possible" criteria.

If you want to enjoy La Cod's "signature dish", you can start with Seaweed Salad and Red Crab Roe, with fresh seaweed carefully prepared in ice water, red crab roe and crab meat for added protein and sesame sauce for added fat and aroma. More unique is the Stonefish with black pepper sauce with herbs and potatoes, served with butter rice. This is a type of fish with white and crispy meat - when grilled in black pepper sauce, Stonefish will create a characteristic aroma and high nutritional content, very good for health.

Grilled lobster with coffee sauce and stir-fried vegetables is also a unique variation, when fresh lobster is cut in half, then baked in wax paper with coffee sauce at high temperature. The wax paper will help the lobster meat not lose water, not directly contact with charcoal or stove and more delicious when soaked in coffee sauce. Add a pot of French seafood hotpot with broth cooked from a mixture of seafood for 2 hours, combined with turmeric and coriander to increase the irresistible aroma. The fat and the delicate combination of seafood along with the color and flavor of the typical French dish but very suitable for Vietnamese taste.
