Com Lam (Bamboo Rice)

What is a visit to Pu Luong without its famed Com Lam, or bamboo rice? This free-size, wear-resistant glutinous rice is soaked and then stuffed inside tubes made out of bamboo, which have been lined inside by banana leaves. The tubes themselves are always laid open on all sides and then roasted over an open fire, giving this rice its unique delicate, slightly smoky flavor. This rice is usually enjoyed with roasted Co Lung duck or mountain chicken. Intense and primordial: earthy and tasty.

Thit Ga Doi (Hill Chicken)

Small in size, naturally reared chickens on these hills are flavor bombs in their ways.
