Phu Quoc Night Market

Phu Quoc in the evening has a lot of interesting things to have fun and explore, in which the night markets are the highlight of attraction and a must-visit place when traveling to Phu Quoc with delicious food, atmosphere. Bustling and full of unique products.

Phu Quoc night market is located in the center of Duong Dong town, which is considered the most crowded place on the island. The market extends all the way to Bach Dang and a part of roads such as, Ly Tu Trong, Nguyen Trai, Le Loi with a wide variety of items and categories and the most prominent is probably fresh seafood. When the street lights up, a busy and bustling nightlife begins. It's not wrong to say that it's dark when the night market opens. But at about 16h 17h, the market started busy preparing and ended at about 23h. Suggested golden time frame when you want to see the bustle and bustle of the night market is around 20h-21h. This place will not let you down.

Not too cramped or messy, Phu Quoc night market with many stalls is also arranged in a straight line. The goods sold at the night market are extremely diverse: from fruits to clothes, jewelry to handicrafts or seafood... Anything you need is here. Here is considered a paradise for foodies, with many stalls selling dishes made from fresh seafood, extremely delicious with colorful eye-catching forms. Especially fresh seafood caught from Phu Quoc sea such as: boiled squid, boiled crab, boiled snail, grilled fish, herring salad, grilled scallops with onion fat, grilled cobia with salt and pepper, seafood porridge, seafood rice , fish cake soup ... Barbecue, fried food, Vietnamese dishes, Western dishes, not even lack of Thai, Japanese dishes, drinking dishes...

Walking around the market, I stopped at a fresh seafood stall. The restaurant presents very attractive food, but the price is also very expensive, not suitable. Marinated just right, the grill looks a bit dirty because the grill is close to the coal, the fan is the coal dust that sticks to the food. This guy works by hand, but the shop is crowded, so the wait is long. I went to 3ng, so I ordered 5-6 types to try, the restaurant has tables and chairs to sit back, it is also very convenient, just sitting and eating and watching the crowded night market is also happy. The market is not very wide, I walk 1 time to finish it, but stopping to look at it will take about 1 hour.

In addition to food stalls, the market also has stalls of souvenirs, handicrafts, cosmetics, jewelry and especially Phu Quoc pearls. Besides, there are Phu Quoc specialties such as fish sauce, pepper, sim wine, dried seafood... I bought them as gifts for relatives when traveling to Phu Quoc. Most of these special areas are for guests to try to feel, so it is easy to choose. When I went, I stopped at a Thai ice cream shop, the ice cream here has many flavors that he sells on the spot, it looks very attractive but it looks a little different from the picture shown, the ice cream is soft but also a bit sweet.

Walking around the night market, you will surely meet many people, selling tours, renting cars. These people do not sit at fixed counters but often follow, distribute leaflets, invite customers to buy services. I feel a bit uncomfortable and tired of being dragged. The night market is quite crowded, so when you go, remember to take care of your personal belongings, especially phones, money, and identification documents.

If you have the opportunity to travel to Phu Quoc, visit the night market in the evening. Coming here, not only can you satisfy your culinary passion but also countless other interesting things waiting to be discovered.
