A proper way of eating Sardine Salad is to mix it with scraped coconut, roasted peanut, fried onion, add lime juice and eat with different main dishes depending on each person’s taste, such as use fresh vegetables rolled in rice paper and dip in Phu Quoc fish sauce. It can be said that Khem Beach is one of the most successful beaches in Vietnam in combining local cuisine and beautiful natural scenery.
