In his latest vlog, the travel blogger surprised many viewers with his review of seafood in Madagascar, specifically crab, which costs only 65,000 VND/kg. But the real surprise came when he shared his thoughts on the taste.
Khoai Lang Thang was astonished by the affordable price of crab in Africa
Khoai Lang Thang visited a local market in Madagascar and was offered crab at a price of 12,000 Ariary, which is approximately 65,000 VND/kg. Both the travel blogger and his viewers were surprised by the incredibly low price. However, he was unsure about the taste and decided to buy four crabs to try.

The boiled crabs looked mouth-wateringly delicious, and the taste did not disappoint. Khoai Lang Thang was amazed by the sweet and firm crab meat, despite the incredibly low price. Out of the four crabs he purchased, only one had less meat, and it was the one chosen by the seller. Therefore, he suggested that it is best to select the crabs yourself.
The taste of crab from Madagascar took Khoai Lang Thang by surprise
While some viewers were skeptical about the quality of crab at such a low price, Khoai Lang Thang assured them that the crab from Madagascar tasted just as good as the famous crab from Ca Mau, Vietnam. He attributed this to similar living conditions and shared that he enjoyed crab for three meals a day during his week-long stay.
