Kim Long ward is the only place in the ancient capital city that retains the profession of making candied ginger in the last days of the lunar calendar.
The famous Kim Long Candied Ginger in Hue has a distinct spicy flavor. The ginger can neither be too old because the final product will not have a smooth texture, nor can it be too young, because it will not have the needed pungency.
What makes the Kim Long candied ginger special is that every step is done by hand, and it has no other ingredient except ginger and sugar – no additive is used. Regular buyers love the Kim Long candied ginger for its pure spicy-sweet flavor.
