Enjoy the simple yet delicious local cuisine of Mai Chau. A must-try specialty is Cơm Lam, sticky rice cooked inside bamboo tubes over charcoal, giving it a unique fragrance and flavour. Other common dishes include grilled meats (like lợn mán - locally raised pork), hill chicken (gà đồi), stream fish, and fresh local vegetables.

Dining at your homestay offers the most authentic taste of Mai Chau food, often featuring home-grown ingredients. Don't forget to try the local rice wine (rượu cần) often shared during communal meals or performances.
