Dinner by the beach

Ganh Hao, a seafood restaurant by the beach. The menu is endless, with a fair selection of wine, catch of the sea and unique meat.

Stir fried baby octopus (I think). It's much too small to be a cuttle fish.

You eat it raw, wrapped in ..... raw greens.

Fresh oyster, dipped in soy sauce and a whole tube of wasabi!

Fresh succulent prawns.

This, is the unique dish that I had been waiting to try. A type of fish, grilled to perfection. It's said to be available only at this part of the Country. However, I couldn't get a name for it, be it in English or Vietnamese. Hence, it shall be known in this blog as Vung Tau Fish!


Cross section of it. The taste is rather unique - somewhat stringy like frog, but tender like eel, yet with a backbone that's very hard.

Fried chicken wings, for the kids.

Hot pot of baby oysters in rice gruel (congee).

Check out the baby oysters. Without a doubt, this method of cooking certainly brings out the sweet tangy taste of oysters, all soaked into the gruel. Yummy....

Now imagine. Double every dish except the fresh oysters (that's 10 pieces), plus a bottle of red French wine, fruit juices, soft drinks for eight adults and 2 kids.

VND 1,100,000. Equivalent to RM220+.

Gosh, eat this back home, and it's gonna hit the wallet for RM500, minimum. Plus, the locale's a tourist stretch, it's a huge building, 2 storeys plus boardwalk dining. Now that's value for money.
