Lai Vung district’s fermented pork sausage is a delicacy of Dong Thap province, which is highly sought after. The pork sausages, called “nem” in Vietnamese, have a bright pink colour dotted with black peppers, white garlic slices and fresh vong leaves. The taste is slightly sour with sweet, salty and spicy hints all mixed together to create a very refreshing flavour sure to pique your interest. During Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, the demand increased 2-3 times compared to usual demand. In order to meet the increased demand, more than 20 production facilities in Lai Vung district work hard to provide the Tet market with thousands of pork sausages each day. VNA Photo: Nhựt An
