Pre-order Roasted Pork Nhận đặt lợn quay: A border town grilled pork experience that mr.hotsia never misses

When talking about Lạng Sơn in northern Vietnam, many might think of a border town full of blended cultures and beautiful nature. But for mr.hotsia, what deeply stays in the heart is “Lạng Sơn Grilled Pork” or Nhận đặt lợn quay. This is not just an ordinary dish but an experience full of flavors and memories that I want to share with everyone.

I arrived in Lạng Sơn one afternoon after checking in atHoang Son Hai HotelAn 8-story hotel I chose to stay at because besides the affordable price, the top floor offers a beautiful bird’s eye view of the city and surrounding mountains. This was the starting point of my quest to find authentic local food.

In the market area and small alleys around the hotel, I searched for Lạng Sơn grilled pork, which is said to have a unique taste. The pork here is marinated with spices and grilled over charcoal that gives a distinctive aroma. Not only fragrant, but the pork is also tender and juicy. It’s unbelievable how the flavor is perfectly balanced with salty, sweet, and deeply infused spices that almost melt in your mouth.

What makes Lạng Sơn grilled pork different from others is the use of Chinese star anise leaves, called “Mắc mật” in Vietnamese, stuffed inside the pork. These leaves grow in northern Vietnam and are also found in Nan province of Thailand. I heard from the shop owner that these leaves enhance the aroma and reduce the pork’s gamey smell very well. Additionally, they have medicinal properties used by locals to treat dandruff. It’s a deep cultural blend of food and homegrown herbs.

I ordered grilled pork served with hot steamed sticky rice and the shop’s special dipping sauce, which has a perfectly balanced sweet and sour taste. The sauce is made from fresh chili, garlic, lime juice, and palm sugar. When dipping the slightly charred grilled pork and putting it in my mouth, the sensation hit my heart. The crispy outside and tender inside, combined with the charcoal and spice aroma, was something I had never experienced before.

In Lạng Sơn, besides grilled pork, mr.hotsia also recommends trying Lạng Sơn roasted duck, another famous dish of the city.Lạng Sơn Roasted DuckIt is also stuffed with star anise leaves like the grilled pork, giving it a unique aroma and flavor. I tried the roasted duck here and felt it was not greasy like the MK roasted duck we have in Thailand, but rather smooth and mellow. I enjoyed it with hot raw egg soup, which I mentioned in my article.Raw Egg SoupIt perfectly completes the dinner.

If you have a chance to visit Lạng Sơn, don’t forget to try grilled pork and roasted duck from street vendors. mr.hotsia recommends many street stalls that are as delicious as restaurants. The key is to eat them hot to enjoy the best aroma and flavor. Once cold, the taste is lost immediately.

For traveling and resting in this city, I recommend staying at a tall hotel likeHoang Son Hai Hotelwhere I stayed. Besides comfortable rest, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Lạng Sơn city from the top floor. Nearby, there are fried rice and Bun Ga noodle shops with such great flavors that I often stopped by. Breakfast and dinner at the market are also very charming, making my visit to Lạng Sơn unforgettable.
