Vietnam Food

Due to the giftedness in topography, Vietnamese cooking is an interesting mix of different herbs and spices that can send thrills especially to a foreign tongue. Other than the main ingredients, the spices like Vietnamese mint, lemongrass, and basil can be blamed for the strong gastronomic impression Vietnamese cuisine leaves to a patron.

While condiments add some kick to the food, ingredients like pork, beef, and seafood make it world class and unforgettable. Some of the most popular foods made out of these ingredients are Bun Oc (vermicelli with snails), Vietnamese hotpot or a spicy variation of the Vietnamese sour soup, and Chao or the Vietnamese congee. In hawkers or makeshift kitchens whose cooks also employ these elements, tasty street foods like Cha Gio (Vietnamese Spring Roll), Pho Bo (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), and Bun Cha (barbecued small pieces of pork) keep the people coming.
