Anh thích Ốc Hút

When my friend Nickie Tran txts me đi ăn I never say no. It’s a trifecta win, đi chơi with Nickie, eating ngon mon ăn Vietnamese and learning about what I’m stuffing in my Mỹ mouth. We’re off to Bà Hoa market in search of Ốc Hút (screw snails). We slowly make our way to the rear of the market when Nickie spots what he wants me to eat, a dish called Ốc Đinh. It’s a regional variation of the dish Ốc Len that I’ve had before. The Chef is from central Vietnam and it reflects in her style of cooking. This variation of Oc Dinh can only be found here at the Bà Hoa (Chợ Miền Trung) market. Nickie speaks with the lady and then a bowl of Ốc Đinh is placed in front of me. Nickie reaches down, grabs a snail and says “Hút” as he slowly walks away leaving me to literally suck down my meal.

The Ốc Đinh broth is super fragrant with notes of coconut milk, lime leaves and Lemon grass. The snails are bathing in the broth while surrounded by floating fresh greens and tiny chunks of coconut. Visually it’s full of colors like burnt oranges, greens, whites and hues of golden browns from the glistening spiral shells. I bring a snail up to my mouth, pucker my lips and declare “Anh thích Ốc Hút “ ! The snail shoots from its shell in to my mouth as my throat is blasted with the broth. The Ốc Đinh broth is flavorful and refreshing where I remember the Ốc Len being slightly sweeter with a lot less texture and body. The snails have the mouth feel of a mushroom with a mix of flavors that come off as earthy, meaty and umami funky. It’s an interesting contrast the players well off the broth for sure. I nibble on a coconut shard as I realize how all the flavors come together at once like a tiny explosion when you inhale the snail from its shell.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SUCK!

Anh thích tóp mỡ.!

For an all around perfectly unique Sài Gòn experience I like to head over to 6A and watch the sun go down over the Canal. This is the perfect time and place to have a Sai Gon Chill and munch down a big order of ...Tốp Mờ!

Tốp Mờ are large croutons size cubes of pork skin and fat that still have a small chunk of lean bacon attached to it. This holy pork trilogy is fried to where it turns golden brown and then shellacked with caramelized fish sauce, flecks of red pepper and nutty garlic chips.

When you pop a hot cube of Tốp Mờ in your mouth and bite down you’ll hear a massive “CRUNCH” sound followed by a splash grease that coats your tongue with a magical sensation. The 6A dish comes with two little side dips and fresh herbs and greens allowing you to toy with the flavors. The first side is a salt, black and a hot pepper combo you mix with the juice of a kumquat to create a tiny slurry. The 2nd dip is a citrus tamarind concoction that gives the pork a tropical fruity finish. The greens add a clean vibe to your tongue so you’re ready to enjoy the next bite. There is a downside to this dish though, you can’t eat just one (you’ve been warned). It’s highly addictive. You will dream about it.

The Tốp Mờ will set you back 129k for the dish and to wash it down with a Sài Gòn Chiller it will cost you an extra 19k. 148k total.
