Cau Mong roasted veal (Bê thui cầu mống)
Cau Mong Rare Beef has existed for quite a long time and become really well-known not only to the locals but also to many visitors from other provinces.
Citronella and lemon bananas are added into the belly of the calf when roasting to make the meat soft and delicious. When slicing the beef, the cook must carefully and skillfully separate the beef from the leather. Next, he must prepare his own sauce, a mixture of fish sauce, chili, garlic, ginger and lime. The beef tastes best when we eat it with fresh vegetables like green bananas, basil, coriander, etc.
