Tourists could find more Vietnamese delicious food on street or in restaurants, especially in buffet restaurants.
1. Pho (noodle soup)
This simple staple consisting of a salty broth, fresh rice noodles, a sprinkling of herbs and chicken or beef, features predominately in the local diet. Pho is a popular breakfast dish, but it can also be eaten for lunch or dinner or even a between-meal snack.
2. Cha Ca (grilled fish)
Hanoians consider Cha Ca to be so exceptional that there is a street in the capital dedicated to these fried morsels of fish. Cha Ca - fish grilled on your table with turmeric and dill, served with cold noodles and peanuts…
3. Bun Dau Mam Tom (noodle with fried tofu and shrimp sauce)
This plain-looking tofu and noodle dish is served with Mam Tom sauce - the Vegemite of Vietnam. The pungent purple dipping sauce is used to flavor the slabs of deep-fried tofu that are at the core of the meal.
4. Xoi (sticky rice)
Savory sticky rice is less of an accompaniment to meals in Vietnam, more a meal itself. The glutinous staple comes with any number of mix-ins (from slithers of chicken, or pork to fried or preserved eggs), but almost always with a scattering of dried shallots on top.
5. Banh Cuon (rolled cake)
These rolled up rice flour pancakes are best when served piping hot, still soft and delicate. Although seemingly slender and empty they have a savory filling of minced pork and mushrooms.
6. Cao Lau (noodle with pork)
This pork noodle dish from Hoi An is a bit like the various cultures that visited the trading port at its prime. The thicker noodles are similar to Japanese udon, the crispy won-ton crackers and pork are a Chinese touch, while the broth and herbs are clearly Vietnamese.
7. Bun Bo Hue (noodle with beef)
Central Vietnam’s take on noodles caters to carnivores with its meaty broth and piles of beef and pork. The thick slippery rice noodles also make for a heartier meal than noodles found in the North and South of Vietnam
8. Banh Xeo (crispy fried pancake)
A good Banh Xeo in Ho Chi Minh City is a crispy crepe bulging with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts, plus the garnish of fresh herbs that are characteristic of most authentic Vietnamese dishes.
9. Bun Bo Nam Bo (noodle with beef)
This bowl of noodles comes sans broth, keeping the ingredients from becoming sodden and the various textures intact. The tender slices of beef mingle with crunchy peanuts and bean sprouts, and are flavored with fresh herbs, crisp dried shallots, and a splash of fish sauce and fiery chili pepper.
10. Nem Ran (spring rolls)
Vietnam’s bite-sized crunchy spring rolls might not enjoy the same popularity as their healthier fresh equivalent, but they deserve a special mention.
The crispy shell with a soft veggie and meat filling dunked in a tangy sauce gets the gastronomic juices flowing before a main course.
