The restaurant officially opened and went into operation in November 2025, and up to now, Huong Moc has gradually become a familiar destination for many diners who love duck and fermented tofu hotpot in Can Tho. For greater convenience, the restaurant supports advance table reservations via hotline or social media platforms, making it especially suitable for large gatherings or weekend occasions.
The first impression when coming to Huong Moc is that the restaurant gives customers a comfortable, "pleasing to the eye" feeling with its spacious, clean, and airy space. The restaurant is arranged with both indoor and outdoor areas, meeting various needs, from cozy family meals and gathering with friends to entertaining guests or welcoming tourist groups. According to the restaurant's sharing, the space can serve about 60 guests at the same time but still creates a comfortable feeling without being too cramped.
Not only investing in the space, Huong Moc also dedicates a lot of heart to the quality of the food. The duck and fermented tofu hotpot is prepared from fresh ingredients, carefully pre-processed and cooked according to a private recipe to retain its characteristic flavor while remaining harmonious and easy to eat. Every stage is focused on to ensure stability in quality as well as food hygiene and safety.
The point that creates the hotpot's appeal is the carefully selected duck meat. The meat is firm, naturally sweet, with a moderate amount of fat, so it doesn't create a greasy feeling when enjoyed. The duck is processed cleanly, so there is almost no common foul or fishy smell left. The hotpot broth has an attractive color, the blood pudding is meticulously prepared, the taro is quite sticky and goes very well with it, and the fermented tofu flavor is rich and fragrant but not too harsh, blending with the refreshing sweetness from the broth to create a very well-rounded whole. The hotpot broth is also not overly greasy, so the more you eat, the more you can feel its refined and rich taste.
The accompanying vegetables are always prepared fresh and clean, contributing to balancing the richness of the hotpot broth. When dipped with the duck meat and then dipped in the dipping sauce mixed according to the restaurant's exclusive recipe, the flavor becomes even more complete, making each piece of meat more flavorful and appealing.
What makes many diners return to Huong Moc lies not only in the delicious hotpot but also in the pleasant dining experience. The spacious, clean, and airy space ensures that prolonged gatherings always remain comfortable. Besides, the enthusiastic, agile, and attentive service staff also contributes to creating an intimate feeling, making each meal more perfect.
