What is one of the best parts of travelling? Eating mouthwatering food, of course!
Vietnamese cuisine is characterised by fresh tastes, with lots of vegetables, an abundance of seafood, and lighter dishes that leave you satiated. 🇻🇳
When talking about Vietnamese food, you have to mention the national dish Pho. This soup is made with a clear broth, traditionally made from beef, that is simmered anywhere between 3 and 12 hours to extract all of the delicious flavours. Combined with rice noodles, herbs, lime, and some chilli slices, it blends perfectly into a bowl of tastiness.
Cà phê trứng is a Hanoi drink speciality. Also known as “egg coffee,” it’s made with Robusta coffee beans and egg that is beaten with condensed milk to make a frothy and sweet coffee. Invented during the 1940s when milk was scarce, it’s become a staple drink to have when visiting Hanoi.
For dessert, everyone must try Chè chuối, made from bananas that are simmered in coconut milk and added tapioca pearls; it hits the spot with its sweet taste and satisfying textures.
Bánh mì is a short baguette that is filled with Vietnamese ingredients from meat to vegetables and herbs that are common in other local dishes, and has become a popular street food.
