Michelin Guide website announces 5 Vietnamese dishes that every tourist must try before leaving this country.

Whether you are new to Vietnam or already familiar with Vietnamese cuisine , you will be amazed by the diverse cultural aspects reflected in the country’s cuisine. With a rich history and countless small, delicious eateries in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Michelin inspectors have carefully selected 5 remarkable dishes that visitors should definitely try when visiting Vietnam.

Rice rolls

Banh cuon stalls allow diners to watch the steaming and cooking process right at the door. There are two types of banh cuon: the more common one is filled with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms; the other version is banh cuon trung, which has soft-boiled eggs. Diners can choose to add some ingredients such as cha, nem chua along with fresh herbs, chili, lemon or garlic for dipping sauce.

Hu Tieu

In Saigon, the highlight is hu tieu - a famous dish that reflects the historical culinary fusion in Vietnam. The blend of hu tieu is a combination of Teochew and Khmer culinary traditions and was introduced to South Vietnam by Vietnamese repatriates from Cambodia in the 1970s.

Bun cha

Bun cha restaurants in Hanoi's Old Quarter are popular with tourists. The simple menu includes many combinations of bun cha (rice noodles with grilled pork) and various nem ran (spring rolls), each with its own distinct flavor. The grilled pork is irresistibly delicious when enjoyed with sweet and sour sauce and, of course, with selected herbs. Michelin recommends the following restaurants: Bun Cha Ta, Bun Cha Dac Kim, and Tuyet Bun Cha.

Be sure to add some herbs or a squeeze of lemon to the hot soup. Michelin recommendations: Pho bo Au Trieu, pho ga Nguyet (Hanoi); pho Minh, pho Hoa Pasteur (Ho Chi Minh City).
