Vit Nuong - BBQ Duck

BBQ Duck

Yes I know BBQ Duck is available in most countries however this would be one of the best places to eat duck that I have been to and I have eaten it in many countries. This is street food at its finest. BBQ'ed in the street. The duck is cooked on a rotisserie over coals and basted in a special sauce every so often. The bulk of the fat is rendered out this way so it isn't as fatty as a lot of other duck places are. There is steamed duck available but it is the BBQ Duck that all the locals come for.

You will eat at the tables with the locals and very few foreigners. ½ a duck with salad and rice will cost approximately $6.00 for two people. Order Chao (pronounced gow) (rice soup with BBQ duck juice) you will probably get some duck blood in it just ignore it if you want or eat it, it tastes a bit like liver. The basic drinks of beer, pepsi, mineral water, sting and 7 up are available served with ice in a glass. Filtered water is available. The sisters that run this business with husband and some friends have been doing this for years.

We have been very regular customers of this establishment and is one of our favorite places to go. If I am feeling a little off the Chao is what I have. To me it is the same as chicken soup with that amazing warm nourishing feeling. Address is 29 Phan Chu Trinh with the name of "Dung Linh". Opens around 4- 5 pm and goes till late.
