Pho: The most popular street food
A luxurious Vietnamese cuisine will be incomplete without a hot bowl of pho. The pho stalls are the most common street food corners in Vietnam. Not only tourists, but you will also often see local people trying their taste on a bowl of pho.
You can get a bowl of Pho at a comparatively lower price because local ingredients and spices make up this dish. It is a salty broth with strands of noodles and rice, sprinkles of herbs, chicken or beef. You will find Pho stalls serving a hot bowl of Pho at any hour of the day, and this saviour won’t let you go hungry!
Bun Cha: The most favourite street food
While Pho is the most famous dish in Vietnam, Bun Cha is the most favourite dish of Vietnamese. Bun Cha is not overrated; a real fact is that Barack Obama tried his tongue at Bun Cha on his visit to Vietnam.
Bun Cha is prepared by grilling small cubes of seasoned pork or slices of finely marinated pork over dry charcoal. Once the patties are charred and crispy, then they are served with fish sauce. A basket of herbs and salads is added to improve the presentation of the dish. Are you excited to try out this dish?
Goi Cuon: No to Fried Food
We know lightly fried spring rolls are the personal favourite of many tourists. When too much-fried food finally wears and tires you out, then Goi Cuon appears as your saviour. This dish is a perfect balance of health and taste, of the people.
The parcel packets are layered with green salads, a layer of meat or sea fish, and then the all-time favourite fish sauce. Dive into the taste of Goi Cuon, a very popular dish on mainland of Vietnam.
Bun Bo Nam Bo: A street food you should try
This dish is very popular among tourists who visit Vietnam. A bowl of Bun Bo Nam Bo comes in sans broth, and the texture of the ingredients remains intact.
Slices or patties of beef, mashed with crunchy peanuts, bean sprouts, and seasoned with crisp dried shallots, fresh herbs, and sprinkles of fish sauce and red chilli flakes are all the magic ingredients that make up this dish.
