Introduction

In Dalat, the local market is the main source for residents' daily needs, as there are no large shopping malls. The market consists of several multi-story buildings with over 1,000 shops inside, surrounded by an outdoor market. Here, you can find a variety of locally produced goods, from alcohol, flowers, meat, handicrafts, cosmetics, strawberry candies, household appliances, and anything else you may want. After nightfall, roadside stalls in the market also open, and many locals come here to have dinner. In addition, Vietnamese hotpot, known as "lẩu" in Vietnamese, is a noteworthy local delicacy. This type of hotpot is different from the common ones found domestically. Its design is more reasonable, with the broth in the center and various raw meats or seafood arranged around it. Once cooked, you can fish them out and place them on the edge of the hotpot. This not only allows the food to cool down but also prevents overcooking. Generally, each hotpot comes with vegetables and rice noodles, but it is wise to confirm with the waiter before ordering. The rice noodles can be put in a bowl and then topped with the hotpot broth for consumption, without the need to cook them in the hotpot.
