Dalat was the playground of the French in the '20s and '30s and, as a visitor, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the Swiss Alps, the cool climate and chalet-style architecture in stark contrast to the rest of the country. Luke visits the famous indoor markets where he buys ingredients for a claypot vegie dish, using a most interesting method – the rope and bucket technique. Luke takes advantage of the abundant flowers on offer by deep-frying pumpkin flowers stuffed with prawns and dill in front of the famous Dalat Palace. He also prepares a very addictive local coffee called “Café su Da”, the coffee itself made from weasel poo.
