The famous specialty of Lao Cai, once known by few people, is now strangely popular with tourists, 180,000/kg

Phuong Loan (39 years old) – the owner of a famous restaurant in Sa Pa said: “Pigs with armpits were “born” from the backward breeding habits of ethnic minorities in Lao Cai such as: Dao, Thai, Mong… But in fact, they are a typical traditional pig breed crossed between wild boar and Muong pig and the maintenance is quite simple.

Usually after the mother pig gives birth to the piglets, they are left free to let rain and shine, no barn, no care. They have to make their own food from wild tubers in the garden, in the forest… sometimes they are fed corn and cassava.”
