Cha Ca La Vong

We had heard about Cha Ca La Vong on Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods. It's a restaurant that is over 100 years old and serves just one dish--cha ca la vong. It's a fish dish that is cooked at the table and is amazingly delicious. Four years later and I still dream about it.

 
 

Noodles, greens (including dill), shrimp paste and peanuts are delivered to your table.

 
Next came the fish in a pan that was set over a flame. It's flavored with turmeric.

 
Add noodles, greens, shrimp paste and peanuts to your bowl and spoon some fish with sauce over it. Delicious!
