Be it spicy, sweet, sour or even bitter, Vietnamese cuisine has a touch of all these elements of taste. Let’s take a culinary journey that will tell you about enticing dishes to satisfy the foodie side of you.

 

Pho

Since this is one of the highlights of Vietnamese dishes, the delicacy can be found in normal eateries or even fine dining restaurants such as those in many a resort in Mui Ne. The typical Pho included all beef slices, meatballs and beef flank garnished with aromatic herbs and lime wedges with rice noodles.

Banh Mi

This particular dish has a French touch to it as well. It is more or less a simple snack with yummy greens and your choice of meats, fish or egg sandwiched in a crispy toasted French baguette with pickled vegetables.

Banh Xeo (Crispy Pancakes)

This is not just your regular crepe, instead, this pancake is made of rice flour, coconut milk and turmeric. The filling, again, can be your choice of meats, prawns or egg and vermicelli. This too is quite a heavy but yummy snack to have while exploring the streets of Vietnam!
