Qui Nhon is a coastal city located in southern Vietnam. It takes almost 2 hours to get to Qui Nhon from Hanoi by plane. Qui Nhon is famous for its many sea-flavored dishes. One of the dishes is a frsh shrimp pancake that is made from fresh sea shrimp.

Quán Quê-Eo gió, Xã Nhơn Lý, TP Qui Nhơn

A place that you can not miss out while visiting Qui Nhon is Eo Gió. It is an arc-shaped strait located in the middle of two high mountain cliffs. People usually go to Eo Gió to enjoy the sea breeze. No matter how sunny or hot the weather is, Eo Gió is always windy and cool. This is where the mountains and the sea converge with high cliffs, creating a challenging and wild landscape for tourists.

After visiting Eo Gió, you may be very hungry! Something very special about this tourist attraction is that it is the location of the two most popular restaurants in Qui Nhơn. One is Hoàng Đạt seafood restaurant and the second one is the famous fresh shrimp pancake restaurant. These two restaurants are always crowded and favored by tourists.

In addition to the particularly delicious seafood here, the fresh shrimp pancake dish is also very special. Pancakes are made from rice flour then top with sprouts, onions, and lots of fresh sea shrimp. It is served with a variety of different vegetables and rolled up with a rice paper. One plate costs 100,000 VND for 4 people to eat comfortably.

Firstly, dip the rice paper into water to make it softer and place the rice paper onto your palm. Before rolling, you can top your rice paper with mixed greens, mango, and cucumber. I like the green mango the best because it is a little sour.

Then, use chopsticks and break the big piece of pancake into a smaller piece and place it on top of the fresh vegetables. This piece of pancake is special because there are lots of fresh sea shrimp inside. After being fried with oil, the pieces of shrimp are a bright red color look really nice on the pancake.

Finally, using your hands, you roll all of the toppings into a tight spring roll.

After you roll it into a spring roll, you just need to dip it into the fish sauce bowl and enjoy! The fish sauce is very well prepared. There is a sour taste of vinegar, sweetness of sugar, salty of fish sauce, the spicy of chili, and the aromatic taste of garlic and pepper. Although this is a fried pancake, it will not make you feel sick because it has lots of fresh vegetables and the deliciously sour taste of mangoes.
