“Cha ca lang La Vong” – a specialty dish from the capital city of Hanoi today is no longer too strange to the people of the South, especially the people of Saigon. Appearing since the French colonial period, this “Cha ca” dish was made by a Doan family to support the De Tham army. Because of the attraction of the delicious cha ca dish, those familiar guests helped the family open a restaurant specializing in this cha ca dish and it quickly became a famous delicious dish that must be enjoyed in the local area until then. Because the restaurant always displayed a La Vong – Khuong Tu Nha sitting with his knees bent fishing – a symbol of a talented person who was waiting for his time, it was called Cha ca La Vong from then on.
