Michelin Guide recommends eating Hu Tieu, Bun Cha, Xoi, Pho, Banh Cuon... when coming to Vietnam

"Whether you're new to Vietnam or already familiar with Vietnamese cuisine , you'll be surprised by the diverse cultural aspects reflected in Vietnamese food. With a rich history and countless charming eateries in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, we've carefully selected five noteworthy dishes that you should definitely try when visiting Vietnam," the Michelin Guide introduces.

According to the Michelin Guide, Vietnamese rice rolls, prepared to order, allow diners to watch the cook steam and prepare the rolls right before their eyes. There are two types of rice rolls: the more common one has a filling of minced pork and black fungus, and another version, egg rice rolls.

"In Ho Chi Minh City, the most prominent dish is hu tieu, a famous dish reflecting the historical culinary fusion in Vietnam. This blend combines the culinary traditions of Teochew and Khmer and was introduced to Southern Vietnam in the 1970s by Cambodian returnees."

Michelin describes the bun cha restaurants located in the Old Quarter as being popular with tourists. Their simple menu includes various combinations of bun cha (rice noodles with grilled pork) paired with different types of spring rolls, each offering a distinct flavor.

The Michelin Guide introduces international diners to a Vietnamese snack called "xôi" (sticky rice). Vietnamese sticky rice is often enjoyed by locals as a simple breakfast or lunch.

"Leaving Vietnam without enjoying a few bowls of pho is unthinkable. Both 'beef pho' and 'chicken pho' are not only celebrated globally but are also essential daily meals for locals. Remember to add some herbs or a squeeze of lime to the hot broth," the prestigious magazine advises.
