Missing the Taste of
Authentic Ca Mau Crab?
Footscray and Springvale markets are legendary. But ask any elder Vietnamese there: 'Is it like the crab back home in Ca Mau, Vietnam?' They will smile and say 'Almost, but not quite'. That missing 10% is why you need to visit us.
Flight Issues
9 Hours flight time stresses the crab, losing up to 40% of meat quality.
Customs Block
Strict import laws. Live animals are often seized at Victoria, Australia borders.
"We tried sending them, really. But a frozen crab just isn't the same, and a seized crab is a tragedy."
— Tu Map (Owner)
"When you land in Tan Son Nhat (SGN), don't eat hotel food. Come to us."
Eat It At The Source
In Ho Chi Minh City
Since we can't bring the crab to Melbourne (VIC) without losing its soul, we invite you to bring your soul back to Vietnam.
We reserve the largest, freshest Grade 1 Mud Crabs specifically for overseas guests (Viet Kieu) and tourists. No freezing, no preservatives, just pure mangrove goodness.

In Melbourne (VIC)
You have beautiful landscapes (Flinders Street Station, Footscray Market), great local seafood, but the crab meat is often sweeter in a 'cold' way, lacking the savory richness of tropical mud crabs.
