Discover Con Dao Night Market

1. Where is Con Dao Night Market?
It is not difficult to find the way to Con Dao Night Market, as it is located right in the center of town, on Vo Thi Sau, Pham Van Dong, and Con Dao Market Internal Streets. The road here is very wide, making it convenient for tourists to reach by motorbike or taxi.
 

2. What time does it open?
Few people may know that this place is used as a parking lot during the day. Around 5 p.m., the kiosks and stalls in the area were set up, rapidly changing their appearance. The atmosphere of the night market is very lively. The market gradually becomes fewer people from 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm according to the season and ends before 2 am the next day.

The highlight of the night market is 7 p.m. when people rest and walk. The market has become noisier and more crowded than ever before. The small market in Con Dao is mainly catering stalls and some handicraft, clothing, and souvenirs stalls, ... The goods here are beautiful, with low quality and price, so you can't help but pay for it.
3. What to eat?
Going to the night market, if you have never tried food here, you are sorry for yourself. Let's try fresh seafood stalls, they always attract domestic and foreign tourists to visit.
 
The seafood here is mostly fresh slipper lobster, fish, snails, crabs, sea urchins, etc. stored in glass tanks with oxygen systems. Visitors can choose the fish they want and the stall staff will prepare the dishes as requested. 

Grilled rice paper
There is also a name called "Vietnamese Pizza", which looks like a regular pizza. When you eat it, you will realize that it is not at all, all the ingredients have been replaced to suit the Vietnamese taste.

 
This dish includes sausage, eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, corn, and minced meat... and the base is rice paper. Although the ingredients are simple, they combine to form a very good specialty.

3. Grilled meats
It's hard to resist this tempting "deadly" smell. The smell of grilled meat skewers pervades the entire market,

In the middle of the cold, sitting on a charcoal stove and waiting for the skewers to cook is attractive. The grilled skewers here are also quite cheap. You only need a few tens of thousands and two plastic chairs to have a warm party.

 
4. Con Dao coconut ice cream

 

If you come to Con Dao, it would be a mistake to miss this dish, with its cool, fatty flavor and sweet coconut water that will satisfy visitors when they come to enjoy it.

5. Grilled balut

Balut eggs are boiled, then peeled, put the whole egg in a bowl, grill on a charcoal stove, and add a little "specially made" salt and chili sauce. The sauce is not too salty, not too spicy, slightly sweet but delicious. Mixed with eggs, it gives a strong aroma, along with a few coriander, onion fat, and peanuts so it's extremely yummy.




 There are also some types of rustic pancakes from all regions such as Binh Thuan pancakes, banh khot, and fried shrimp cakes,...

In addition to food stalls, there are also beverage stalls, smoothies, tea, and other options available for tourists here.
