Why it matters

Phú Yên’s chicken rice is less famous than the plates of Hội An or Tam Kỳ. It is eaten at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and feasts.

Texture

The meat is lean, yellow, a little chewy, and sweet, and the rice is boiled in broth rather than fried.

Taste

Cooking the rice in the broth keeps it light and fragrant. Rau răm and a sweet-sour fish sauce finish the plate.

How to enjoy it

Eat the chicken and rice with the pickles, cucumber, and rau răm.

Where to try it

Lê Thánh Tôn, Lê Trung Kiên, Phan Đình Phùng, and Ngô Quyền.
