Helio Night Market - Spacious Market With Food Vendors

Hi everyone, today I will introduce to you an attractive destination that you should go when coming to Da Nang. Da Nang has many beautiful attractions in terms of landscapes, besides when you come here, the night market is one of the destinations you cannot miss. Let's find out with me one of the famous night markets of Da Nang! This is Helio Night Market, it is located on 2/9 street, Hoa Cuong Bac ward, Hai Chau district, Danang city. Since this is a night market, it will be open from 5pm to 10:30pm on all days of the week. Coming here, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a culinary paradise including many dishes and drinks from small stalls in the market. So let me show you some details about dishes in this market!

Coming here, you can not only enjoy delicious food but also check-in at the corners decorated with lights and lanterns. When you come here, you can park your motorbike right next to the market, one time deposit is 3.000VND. After parking, you can visit around the market first, an ideal location to take pictures is the market gate which is decorated with many lanterns. This place attracts many couples, families, and students because of its sparkling space and reasonable prices.

This place is a general market with many stalls selling a variety of foods such as Thai, Korean, and Vietnamese food. You can choose any dish you want to eat, the price ranges from 10,000 VND/dish - 150,000 VND/dish ~ $0.5 - $6/dish. The special thing is that the price of each dish will be listed on the banner of the counter, so you do not need to waste time asking the price before buying. And today, after school, I and my friend decided to come here to have our dinner, and now I will show you some dishes that I ate.

Firstly, I choose Vietnamese grilled rice paper as my first dish. It is coated with spices on the surface of rice paper, including scallions, dried shrimp, butter, chili sauce and quail eggs. After that, people will bake it directly on the coals until the rice paper is cooked. This is a very popular dish in Vietnam because it is easy to make and tastes very good. Rice paper is baked very crispy, the ingredients are just cooked, creating a dish that is both unique and suitable for all ages. Price 15.000 VND/piece ~ $0.6/piece.

Next one is a Korean mixed rice dish. This dish is also quite popular with young people because of its taste. At this market, a lunch box costs 35,000VND ~ $1.5. Mixed rice with lots of spices and ingredients like radish, Korean kimchi, minced pork, hot chili sauce and egg. It is quite suitable if you want to eat full in the evening.

This is also another Korean dish, called tokbokki. The dish is also popular with young people today, it is made from rice cakes and cabbage, accompanied by a delicious sauce. It is sold in large pans, a portion is priced at 25,000VND ~ $1.

Grilled dishes are very popular with Vietnamese people such as grilled shrimp, grilled ribs, grilled meat, etc. Today I will introduce you to another grilled dish that is grilled octopus, the special thing is that people will grill very large octopus, then cut them into small pieces to sell depending on the amount of money people want to buy. I was extremely impressed by the sauce that was spread on the octopus, the smell was very fragrant, the taste was extremely rich. Because octopus is quite expensive, this small portion costs 130000VND ~ $6. If you want to buy a big one, it costs 40000VND ~ $18.

The next dish I want to introduce to everyone is hot pot cups, it got its name because it's hot pot in a small paper cup. In the hot pot there are vermicelli, shrimp, fish balls, vegetables, and soup, it costs 25,000VND/1 cup. The soup is rich in flavor, everything is delicious, I think this is a dish you should try if you have a chance to come here.

This is probably a pretty popular dish in the world, it's french fries and fried sausage. I guess I don't need to describe this dish much, their price is 25,000VND/skewer ~ $1/skewer.

This is my favorite dessert, it's called fruit shake because there are fruits like an umbrella, guava, mango mixed with shrimp salt, fish sauce and sugar to create this dish. This dish is quite popular in many places, you can also make it at home with very simple ingredients. The price here is 25,000VND/cup ~ $1/cup.

A special thing here is that there is an area for you to sit and eat, after buying the foods you want to eat, you will find an empty table to sit there and enjoy. After eating, the staff will clear the table for you.

We finished our meal with a fruit dessert, each dish has its own advantages, we are quite satisfied with most of the dishes here. If you have the opportunity to come to Da Nang, do not hesitate to come here to enjoy the food here and take pictures to keep memories. Thanks for reading my article and see you in my next posts.
