Just the name alone evokes the irresistible flavor of rich, savory salted egg blending perfectly with tender, velvety tofu. At Delight - the restaurant that represents modern Vietnamese cuisine at Iconic Long Hai Hotel - this familiar yet elevated dish has become a must-try signature, beloved by many guests.

 

The Story Behind the Signature Dish

Golden-fried tofu cubes drizzled with creamy salted egg sauce - a rich highlight of every meal at Delight.

 

Vietnamese cuisine has a special way of turning humble ingredients into elevated culinary experiences. As our Delight Restaurant’s chef recalls, during a menu development session, he wanted to “dress up” the familiar tofu with a thin, crispy batter and pour over a creamy salted egg sauce made from mashed salted egg yolk, fresh milk, and whipping cream. Finished with pork floss, tobiko, and parsley, this creation delighted both the palate and the eyes - and just like that, Salted Egg Tofu earned its spot on the signature dish list.

 

A Flavor Profile You Won’t Forget

From humble ingredients, Delight’s chef crafts a signature dish that lingers in memory with its unmistakable flavor.

 

Crispy Outside, Creamy Inside

The tofu is cut into bite-sized cubes, lightly coated in a thin batter, and flash-fried at high heat. The result? A golden crisp on the outside, and soft, rich soybean flavor within - a perfect balance of textures.

 

The Salted Egg Sauce - The Soul of the Dish

Steamed, mashed salted egg yolks are blended with fresh milk and whipping cream, seasoned to perfection to create a smooth, golden sauce. This decadent mixture is poured over the hot tofu, releasing a warm aroma and deeply savory taste that lingers on the tongue.

 

Toppings that Complete the Experience

Savory-sweet pork floss, crunchy tobiko, and a hint of fresh parsley elevate the dish with texture and color. Each element contributes to a harmonious culinary portrait, making Salted Egg Tofu an excellent main course for an intimate lunch or romantic dinner.
