In Vinh City, there are many restaurants serving delicious eel dishes, but the most unique and attractive is Kien Cuc eel restaurant, No. 195, Kim Lien Street, Hamlet 8, Hung Chinh Commune (Vinh City).

Ms. Nguyen Thi Cuc (owner of Kien Cuc eel restaurant) said: To cook a pot of delicious eel porridge or eel soup is a great feat of the cook.

The selection of eels is equally important. The eels must be wild eels with firm meat, caught by locals using a bamboo pole - a traditional eel catching tool of the local people. The eels are cleaned of slime by washing with lemon and salt, then boiled and then using bamboo poles to remove the meat and bones.

The reason why the eel dish at Kien Cuc restaurant is unforgettable after just one taste is because of its own secret. According to Mr. Nguyen Cong Kien, Ms. Cuc’s husband, one thing that makes the eel dish special is fresh turmeric. Fresh turmeric not only makes the dish more attractive but also makes the eel meat more flavorful and delicious.

At Kien Cuc restaurant, there are two types of eel soup. In the photo: The non-spicy type is for children.
