    Returning to Cù Lao Tam Hiệp, Út takes guests on a hands-on experience of setting shrimp traps to catch giant freshwater prawns along the mangrove apple trees and nipa palm groves lining the river.

     

    The freshly caught prawns are still alive and glistening, then steamed right on the boat with Bến Tre coconut water. The fragrant aroma blends with the river breeze; the prawns are firm, naturally sweet, and rich with creamy roe. Eating while gently drifting along the river, enjoying the cool, fresh air, the sound of water lapping against the boat, and chatting about everything under the sun together—it’s a lively, joyful, and truly satisfying experience.

     

     

     

     

    I tell you, it’s absolutely wonderful—such a truly rustic experience that anyone who tries it will remember it forever!
