Hotpot is usually placed in a bamboo tray lined with banana leaves, creating a beautiful flower shape with ingredients arranged in layers of pink-red banana leaves, looking very attractive. The "pistil" is the plate of anchovies placed in the middle.
Surrounding the fish dish are side dishes including boiled pork, julienned fried eggs, split cucumbers, banana blossoms, unripe mangoes, etc. This arrangement not only makes the dish more eye-catching but also implies the image of small basket boats that have been associated with fishermen for many years.
The dish is served right on the table and diners can enjoy hot pot in two ways. The first way is to eat it dry (also known as eating it cold). Diners put the noodles and other ingredients in a bowl, then pour the sauce on top and mix well. This sauce is considered the "soul" of the dish, made from banana, garlic, dried tamarind, chili and roasted peanuts, mixed together in a balanced ratio and then pureed. Although they all include the same ingredients, each person and each restaurant has a different secret to making the sauce.
The second way to enjoy is for diners to pour hot pot broth that is being heated on a charcoal stove. The hot dish with broth from shrimp and bone broth, tomatoes, pineapple, onions creates a natural sweet and sour taste. Diners choose the ingredients they like, put them in a bowl and pour boiling hot pot broth on top and enjoy with dipping sauce, different from dipping ingredients into the broth pot like regular hot pot dishes.
Hotpot also brings an interesting culinary culture experience. Tourists coming to Phan Thiet, Mui Ne often choose this dish to feel the sophistication and creativity in the preparation of the local people. From there, tourists can understand more about the culture and people here.
