(DTTG) - During the three days of Tet (Lunar New Year), many people in Da Nang city have the custom of eating carp to pray for good luck. Among them, braised carp with purple taro is very popular. The old story tells: “Once upon a time, there was a girl from a fishing village on the Vu Gia River who often treated her boyfriend from Nam Giang, who came to visit to a delicious dish of braised carp with pickled vegetables”. It’s unclear whether they were smitten with the beautiful fisherwoman or with the delicious “braised carp with pickled vegetables” dish, but the two eventually got married. Later, a folk song was passed down: “The feeling of braised carp with pickled vegetables/You braised it so well, it’s just right for my taste/Praying for peace and tranquility/For a bountiful harvest, then I’ll marry you right away…”.
