DUONG DONG · NIGHT MARKET
At Duong Dong Night Market, ask the price before ordering
Duong Dong Night Market is packed with seafood stalls and charcoal smoke. Asking how prices are calculated before ordering makes for a more relaxed meal.
The smell of grilled seafood and the bright, busy aisles draw visitors in quickly. Walk a circuit first, compare stalls and confirm seafood weight, cooking fees and the final price before taking a table.
How is seafood calculated?
When consulting fresh seafood stalls, don't hesitate to ask how the weight is calculated: the price is applied to raw seafood in the tank or after cleaning, and whether it includes processing fees (grilling, steaming, stir-frying). For complex dishes or going in large groups, ask the staff to confirm the quantity and total estimated cost. Asking for detailed prices is a civilized consumption habit, helping both customers and stall owners understand each other.
Choose dishes according to the table
Choosing a variety of menus will enrich the meal: combine steamed dishes that retain their natural sweetness, grilled spring-onion oil and a hot pot of seafood for the whole group to sip. You can order a few typical dishes in advance, enjoy them and order more if necessary to keep the food hot. If there are members who have seafood allergies, please immediately notify the waiter so that the kitchen will pay attention to the processing separately.
Going to the market in winter
During the evening rush hour, the atmosphere of the night market is very crowded. If you are traveling with young children or the elderly, please keep a safe distance and make an appointment in advance of the meeting point in case you get lost. Be a little observant in how to move and choose, you will have an evening of night market culinary experience full of fun.
