The Unique Nam Pia: A Specialty of the Thai Ethnic Group
The unique Nam Pia dish is a characteristic dish of the Thai ethnic group, with a special appearance that has impressed many tourists. Let's join Inbound Vietnam to explore the uniqueness of this dish in the following article.
What is the unique Nam Pia made of?
The main ingredients of the unique Nam Pia dish include the internal organs of herbivores such as heart, liver, spleen, lungs... and especially "pia". Pia is the viscous liquid inside the undeveloped intestines of herbivores, specifically undigested food and digestive fluids. The dish is seasoned with spices such as “mac khen” peppercorns, lemongrass, chili, and purple garlic to create the distinctive aroma of this unique dish. Pia is selected from healthy horses, cows, and goats. Then, this undeveloped intestine is cut into pieces, mixed with spices, and minced before cooking.
Should tourists try Nam Pia?
Son La tourists highly appreciate the unique Nam Pia dish. This dish has a slightly strange appearance and a rather distinctive taste, making many people hesitant to try it at first. However, after trying it, many people say that the dish is not as scary as they thought and is even very delicious.
The initial bitterness of Nam Pia will gradually be replaced by a sweet and fatty taste. The more you chew, the more you can feel the characteristic aroma replacing the initial unpleasant smell. In some places, Nam Pia has been adjusted to suit everyone's taste, making it more delicious and easier to eat. However, Timtour still encourages you to try this dish using the traditional method to experience the original flavor of Nam Pia.
The unique Nam Pia is an attractive "appetizer"
Nam Pia is a great dish to eat with alcohol. The sweet and fatty taste of pịa and the spicy taste of alcohol blend together to create an unforgettable flavor. With just a bowl of Nam Pia and a glass of rice wine, you can sit and chat all night without getting bored.
The feeling of drunkenness after drinking alcohol is inevitable. However, if you eat it with Nam Pia, you will feel more comfortable. This dish has a good digestive effect, reducing the feeling of fatigue caused by alcohol. In addition, Nam Pia is also rich in nutrients, helping to replenish energy for the body.
Don't let the ingredients of this dish fool you, try it once to fully experience the delicious and rich flavor of the unique Nam Pia. If you are planning a trip to Son La, please contact Inbound Vietnam for advice and support.
