Three delicacies of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province are honoured as typical Vietnamese dishes.
The dishes included 47 from the north, 37 from the central region and 37 from southern localities. They encapsulate the cultural essence of localities and regions nationwide.
The dishes were selected basing on their cultural values, history, and quality, as well as cooking, processing and preservation techniques, and economic values.
Three treats of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province have been recently added to the list of 121 typical Vietnamese dishes, namely Ca oc do mang chua (steamed "ot" fish with bamboo shoots), mon nau da trau kho ("mon" leaves soup with dried buffalo skin) and ruou can (wine stored in a big jar and drunk with long bamboo straws).
