Apart from its beautiful white sand beaches, Da Nang is also well known for its delicious speciality dishes.  Amongst local specialities, banh trang cuon thit heo (pork and vegetables wrapped in soft rice paper) is the most popular, and the Tran restaurants are good places to try it.  

Banh trang cuon thit heo, which is one of Da Nang’s three traditional culinary dishes, has made it into the list of Vietnamese specialities.  It is a nutritious food with fresh ingredients - pieces of rolled belly pork, a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs, along with thin slices of cucumber, green bananas, and a dipping sauce.

The vegetables are bought from Da Lat, Hoi An and Da Nang.  Furthermore, various dipping sauces, suitable for the tastes of visitors from the north, south or central regions, are also provided.

In addition to banh trang cuon thit heo, the Tran restaurants also serve other local foods, including My Quang (Quang Noodles), bun mam thit quay (vermicelli with roasted pork and salted fish), banh trang dap (crushed rice paper), and banh beo (round-cakes).

They are all becoming popular and favourite dishes with both local residents and visitors because of their special flavours and processing methods at the Tran restaurants.

Many foreign investors have recently shown interest in buying the Tran brand name for a price of 4 million USD.  However, the Founding President of the Tran company, Mr Tran Thanh Tuan, affirmed that he would never want to sell his brand name because he has a strong desire to conserve the city’s speciality dish and the pride of its people.
