Tile grilling is a unique culinary feature of Da Lat, and Cu Duc is one of the places that elevates this experience. Beef, pork udder, or seafood are placed on a terracotta tile heated over glowing charcoal. Cooking oil drains along the tilt of the tile, helping the meat retain its natural sweetness without burning fiercely like wire mesh grilling. The sizzling, fragrant meat dipped in green chili salt makes an exceptional beer-drinking companion.
