Vietnamese cuisine, keeping tourists coming back

Vietnamese street food.

Today, Vietnam's banh mi is hailed by CNN as "one of the world's best sandwiches." Bun cha is not only found on the street but also in Michelin-starred restaurants.

Talking about the “transformation” of street food, the owner of Bun Cha Dac Kim shared: “My grandmother started selling in 1966, from a bun cha stall on the side of the road, literally street food. Then she started opening shops and adding some more locations like now.”

Bun Cha Dac Kim - a typical example of the "transformation" of street food, according to the owner, was born in 1966, starting from a street vendor of his grandmother. From a street vendor, the bun cha dish is still there but now it has become a dish in a modern and quality restaurant with Michelin stars and many other businesses.

Cuisine is increasingly asserting its role in attracting international tourists to Vietnam. The owner of Dac Kim Bun Cha restaurant shared: "Most of the customers who come here call Bun Cha street food . The number of tourists is increasing day by day, and there is more and more growth. I think Bun Cha contributes to some extent to the Vietnamese tourism industry. Therefore, it can be said that Bun Cha is one of the image ambassadors promoting Vietnam's culinary culture to the tourism industry."

During her recent visit to Vietnam, Ms. Corinne FuchFuchs - a tourist from France - shared her deep love for Vietnamese street food. In particular, she revealed that she returns to Vietnam twice a year and considers it her second home.

“I love all the food here. Chicken pho, beef pho, banh mi, banh bao… everything is delicious. I don’t have a single experience, because they are all great,” said Corinna. She said she chooses to eat on the sidewalk every day instead of going to a restaurant to fully enjoy the daily atmosphere and friendliness of the locals. For her, the most memorable moment is sitting and eating pho with Vietnamese people right on the sidewalk.

Ms. Corinne FuchFuchs shares her feelings about Vietnamese cuisine.

Not only does she love food, Corinna also has many compliments for the Vietnamese people: “They are so cute, brave and gentle. I feel very close when eating with them on the street.” For Corinna, Vietnamese cuisine is not only about taste but also part of an emotional journey, where she finds familiarity like being at home.

Cuisine is not just food, but also a bridge that helps Vietnam promote the country's image to the world in a natural and impressive way. It is the connection between food and culture that has made Vietnamese cuisine increasingly spread strongly in the world, becoming a soft bridge bringing the image of the country and people of Vietnam closer to friends around the world.
