According to TasteAtlas, the roasted pork sandwich was rated 4.5 stars, ranking second, while the banh mi and ham sandwich both scored 4.4 stars, ranking fourth and fifth, respectively, in the top 50.

Three types of Vietnamese bread conquering world cuisine

The grilled pork sandwich comes in second place, a signature Vietnamese version of the sandwich, featuring crispy sliced ​​roast pork, combined with soft baguette, mayonnaise, pickles, cucumber, coriander and chives.

Some stalls also add chicken liver pâté and chili, creating a multi-layered flavor: fatty, crispy, sour, sweet in harmony. This type of sandwich is commonly sold at street food stalls, especially in busy neighborhoods and local markets.

Coming in at number four is banh mi – Vietnam’s ubiquitous sandwich, with baguettes as its core ingredient. Baguettes were introduced to Vietnam during the French colonial period, and today are one of the few remaining culinary legacies from that period.

According to the description from TasteAtlas, banh mi originally consisted of only bread, meat and spices, without added vegetables.

Over time, Vietnamese people have created many more ingredients such as cold cuts, French butter, fresh mayonnaise, liver pate, cucumber, coriander, pickles, oyster sauce, garlic, making the dish more diverse and rich.

The baguette should be light, with a thin, crispy crust, soft, chewy filling and a slightly sweet taste, reflecting the harmonious combination of French-Chinese culinary heritage and Vietnamese taste with fresh vegetables and bright flavors.

With 4.4 stars on TasteAtlas, banh mi has become a prominent street food, conquering even the most demanding diners. The dish is popular at all times of the day, from breakfast, lunch to dinner, and is always the top choice when wanting to experience Vietnamese street cuisine - Photo: TasteAtlas

The Banh Mi Thit Ham, which comes in at number 5, is a variation of the traditional sandwich. As the name suggests, the sandwich is made with a variety of Vietnamese cold cuts such as sliced ​​roast pork, sliced ​​pork belly, cha (sliced ​​ham) or cha lua, combined with cucumber, mayonnaise, pickled carrots and radishes, and liver pâté stuffed into a bread roll.

TasteAtlas says the burger is often garnished with coriander, black pepper and sliced ​​chili, creating a rich and balanced flavor.

These sandwiches are popular throughout Vietnam, often eaten for breakfast and lunch, but can also be enjoyed at any meal if purchased from street stalls, this dish easily conquers international diners thanks to its multi-layered flavors and balance of salty, sweet, fatty and sour - Photo: TasteAtlas
