It has been a long time since “chao fermented fish” first gained popularity. “Chao” is the action of mixing fresh fish with palm sugar, rice powder, and Vietnamese rice wine dessert. Particularly in chao-fermented cooking recipes, a distinctive component known as “Vietnamese rice wine dessert” is added after the fish has been dipped in salt, giving a smooth and appealing fish flavor.

Mr.Ba Loc Chao fermented Java barb has made by inheriting the traditional recipe since 1955. Ba Loc household business enterprise consistently picks fresh and high-quality Java barb, mixed with the traditional fermented recipe to make great fermented fish. Along with the passion for the hometown’s fermented fish making, Ba Loc’s products are not only a common dish in family meals but also a culinary gift imbued with An Giang province’s cultural qualities for international travelers.
