NHUM
One of the most bizarre shellfish, a dish from which you need to try, may become nhum - a sea urchin. It is brown and looks like a coconut. There are two ways of eating this dish: raw, or after careful heat treatment. If raw food does not cause discomfort - do not miss the opportunity to taste nhum raw. When ordering "nhum", the seller cuts a whole nhoom in half horizontally like a coconut.

Fresh taste and sweet aroma combined with wasabi sauce and sour lime - it is unlikely to survive and give up the second portion.
COCONUT PRISON
"Coconut prison", which is also known as "Fukok Prison" is located in An Tho. The name "coconut" arose during the Indochina war and the rule in Vietnam of the French colonists. Then in prison there were four sectors: "A", "B", "C" and "D"; It is believed that up to 14,000 prisoners were held in the prison. However, after the end of the Indochina War, most of the prisoners returned home according to the Geneva Agreements.
With the outbreak of the Vietnam War, US troops built a new prison under the same name. The new prison had separate sectors for men, women and the elderly. Over time, in 1966 another part of the prison was built, intended for Vietnamese soldiers serving their sentences. In the new part of the prison there were 12 separate sectors. Each sector was divided into four sectors. The prison was guarded very strictly, observation was conducted around the clock.
Nowadays, since 1986, the Coconut Prison has been recognized as an object of national historical heritage and now serves as a place for excursions, being a living witness to war crimes. Here, to this day, are stored some of the instruments of torture that were once tested on prisoners. For example, you can see the "Cato Tiger Cage" in which the prisoner was in utter darkness for a long time and after being released from this tiger cage, the prisoners are most often blind.
