sensitive
Vietnamese food is influenced by other countries in many ways. Among them, influenced by China, Vietnamese people use chopsticks and like to eat rice noodles. Influenced by Jamper, Vietnamese also use curry in their diet. Influenced by the French, Vietnamese began to eat beef, baguette, coffee, yogurt and cheese.
The most familiar Vietnamese dishes are beef powder, chicken powder, barbecue powder, French sticks, coffee drops and spring rolls. All cities in Vietnam can eat these delicious foods.
Vietnam has more than 2000 kilometers of coastline. When you arrive in the coastal cities of Vietnam, you must eat seafood, especially the green lobster in Nha Trang is very famous.
Vietnam is located in the tropics and is rich in all kinds of tropical fruits, such as durian, mango, pitaya and passion fruit, which can be eaten open.

noodles with beef
It is said that Vietnamese beef powder is very particular, beef should use yellow beef and rice flour should use high-quality rice. In Vietnam, it is easy to see beef noodle shops in Ho Chi Minh, Datuk, Nha Trang and Hanoi. Generally, the signboard of a beef noodle shop says "Pho". As long as you see "Pho", it means you can eat beef noodles.
We tried chain stores that eat Pho, such as Pho Hung and Pho 24. Of course, it tastes good, but it is slightly inferior to the local beef noodle shop, so I suggest going to the local shop, even if the clerk doesn't even know English and Chinese.
spring roll
The skin of Cantonese spring rolls is a thin dry skin made of rice flour. Vegetables, chicken, shrimp, fungus, winter flour, nine-story pagoda and coriander are rolled in turn. The rolling method is like China Spring Roll, with Guangdong sweet and spicy sauce and a little lemon juice, which is not easy to get angry.
As long as almost all restaurants with Vietnamese flavor sell them, of course, you will also find live rolls on the street, which will be cheaper than those sold in restaurants. However, you should know that Vietnam is a country riding motorcycles, and motorcycles are the most indispensable things in the streets. It is difficult to ensure the hygiene of street spring rolls in the environment of speeding tail gas bombing. If the food hygiene requirements are high, it is recommended to eat in a restaurant.
Fried spring rolls
Vietnamese spring rolls are also fried. For tourists who can accept hot food, you can try fried spring rolls. The stuffing of fried spring rolls is generally vermicelli, mushrooms, meat, eggs and shredded vegetables. Spring rolls made of rice flour, wrapped in stuffing, fried in a hot oil pan until crisp and yellow, become Vietnamese fried spring rolls.
When eating spring rolls, they are usually mixed with dipping sauce made of fish sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic. Can make diners taste different tastes such as sour, salty, spicy and sweet.
French baguette
French sticks Vietnamese French sticks are very common in the local area, and vendors can often be seen on the roadside in different cities. Many people regard French sticks and coffee drops as the standard for breakfast. In Vietnam, from morning till night, you can see many people selling French sticks in the street.
There is nothing in the traditional French baguette, and nothing in the Vietnamese baguette. There are other things as their own elements, such as ham, salted fish, pork, chicken, lettuce, shredded radish and so on. There are several layers of flavor in it. Some Europeans and Americans tend to buy baguettes without anything in Vietnam, while Vietnamese locals generally buy baguettes.
Buyers can freely choose what to put in it, or according to the default clip method, eliminate what they don't like. I was born insulated from fat pork. When I first ate French sticks in Vietnam, I chose the default one. I didn't expect the boss to put fat pork directly in the baguette as the main ingredient, and it made me sick after eating a few mouthfuls. Therefore, for some tourists who are more resistant to ingredients, it is recommended to look at the ingredients carefully before making a decision.
Sugarcane shrimp
Sugarcane shrimp is a typical Vietnamese dish, which is made by chopping shelled fresh shrimp meat, making shrimp glue, wrapping it on sugarcane branches and frying it in a pot.
The skin is golden and crisp, with crumbs sticking to it. Shrimp is fragrant, fresh, tender and sweet because it absorbs the sweetness of sugarcane. Dip a plate when eating.
There are many fruit stalls in Vietnam, and there are varieties of fruits that I have never seen in Guangdong, such as pistachios. There are other rare things in Guangdong, such as yellow watermelon, Sakyamuni, litchi and lotus fog.
The way of eating fruit in Vietnam is very special. I like to dip fruit with salt or pepper and salt. If you buy fruit on the roadside, the vendor will provide you with salt directly. I buy packaged and cut fruit in a convenience store, and there are also salt packets in it. When I eat lotus seeds, I try to dip them in salt. I think it's delicious, which makes the lotus mist sweeter and richer in taste.
seafood
Because of its geographical location, Vietnam is also famous for its seafood. Vietnamese locals like to eat seafood dipped in salt and pepper and lime juice, which is a typical Southeast Asian flavor.
When I eat seafood in Vietnam, I will eat it in Minai. Mina has a fishing port. Some people suggest buying live fish (or shrimp, crab, shellfish, etc. ) I caught it on the spot and let the local restaurant handle it, which is a bit like Jiushichong in Nansha, Guangzhou. However, many local restaurants refused to accept take-away seafood, probably because pure processing didn't make much money, so at that time we had to buy live seafood in restaurants and let chefs process it.
Drip coffee
Three years ago, I fell in love with Didi Coffee in Vietnam. As long as I go to a restaurant with Vietnamese flavor, every drop of coffee is an essential drink for me. In Vietnamese restaurants in China, coffee drops are usually 20-30 yuan cups, almost all of which are hot drinks. However, in Vietnam, coffee drops are very grounded and can be seen on almost every street. Many people still sit on small stools by the roadside and drink directly.
The drip coffee in Vietnam is called milk coffee, so if you want to drip coffee, say milk coffee. There are hot drinks and iced drinks, and the amount of coffee will not be much. Hot coffee only takes a few sips (a little gulps), and so does iced coffee. It just adds ice cubes to the original hot coffee and then puts it in a glass, which looks much more.
Drip coffee is very cheap in Viet Nam, less than RMB 10, sometimes only around 6 yuan.
Drip coffee is very easy to identify, and looks like a drip pot. Coffee has a strong bitter taste, is not pantothenic, and is generally condensed milk with sugar. Personally, I think iced milk coffee is better than hot coffee, and I won't get tired of drinking 2 cups a day.
Tips for popularizing coffee knowledge
There are three varieties of coffee beans, the most common is Arabica, the least is Robusta, and the least is Plum (only accounting for 5% of the world's coffee production). Robusta is a common coffee bean in Vietnam. Vietnam's Robusta production accounts for one-third of the world's total output. It is said that the coffee bean grown in Vietnam is also Arabica, but this variety was changed to Robusta because it is not resistant to pests.
Coffee roasting is divided into 8 grades from shallow to deep, and French roasting is 7 grades. The roasting degree of Vietnamese coffee is French roasting, which belongs to extremely deep roasting. The higher the roasting degree of coffee beans, the bitter the taste, and vice versa. Extremely deep roasted coffee beans make Vietnamese coffee bitter and rich in taste.
If you want to send a handwritten letter to a friend who loves coffee, it is suggested to buy them Robusta coffee powder, drip coffee pot and sweet condensed milk in Vietnam (it is said that condensed milk bought in Vietnam is no different from that bought in China, so it is inconvenient to carry condensed milk, so you can buy condensed milk at home), and let them follow the method of drip coffee in Vietnam.
A friend of mine who has been to Vietnam said that once he changed condensed milk into light milk and added it to Vietnamese coffee, the bitterness became very obvious and the taste was not good, which was far less than condensed milk with sugar. It seems that Vietnamese coffee and sweetened condensed milk are the best combination.
Egg coffee
Vietnam is the second largest coffee exporter in the world (Brazil is the first). In this coffee country, there is an unconventional coffee-egg coffee, which is listed as one of the seven magic coffees in the world (when I know this, I really want to try the other six).
Coffee is made by adding condensed milk and egg yolk (using raw eggs, which is the biggest highlight of egg coffee), stirring until it thickens, and then pouring in black coffee. This way of drinking is quite popular in Hanoi. From Ho Chi Minh to Mina, Datuk and Nha Trang, we have never seen them, but we have seen them in small restaurants in Hanoi.
Fruit smoothies (fruit milkshakes)
This is a common drink on the street or in restaurants. This is to use fresh fruit, ice cubes (you can choose not to add them if you don't want them) and syrup to break the mixed drink in a blender.
In fruit smoothies, there are usually dozens of flavors of fruits to choose from. Visitors can choose to drink only one flavor of milkshake, or choose a mixed drink of various fruits.
