Cha Ga is usually made with snakehead, a freshwater fish found across Vietnam, cha ca is considered one of Hanoi's signature dishes. The marinade -- a mix of turmeric, garlic, shallots, galangal (similar to ginger root), salt, sugar and fish sauce.

The DTAsia team was surprise I like this dish - I like a lot of fermented food from Kimchi, tempe , etc. This is like Singapore's Belachan - this Hanoi fermented shrimp paste is called Mam Tom. Mam Tom is not for the faint of heart. It has a strong and pungent smell. It’s made from a mixture of fermented shrimp paste, fresh crushed garlic, water and lemon juice.
