It is best to sell snacks. But also can be improved appropriately.
Vietnamese snacks are much more famous than dinner. The most famous is "Vietnam Volume". In Kunming, Vietnamese rice rolls has always been very popular and has penetrated into people's lives, becoming one of the snacks comparable to rice noodles, rice noodles and noodles. In addition, Vietnamese snacks also include chicken powder, snail powder, river powder, spring rolls and so on.
The "Vietnamese millet flour" introduced to China is very different from the authentic millet flour in Vietnam, and has been improved according to the taste of China people, so it has been welcomed by China people. In contrast, the small rolls of rice noodles eaten by Vietnamese themselves taste slightly worse. Unlike China, authentic Vietnamese rolls usually contain no stuffing. A few people with stuffing usually don't pack meat stuffing, just put some pickles, peanuts and sesame seeds to adjust the taste like vegetables in winter. However, the biggest difference lies in the preparation of soaking water. Domestic people usually use soy sauce as the main ingredient to prepare dipping water, while Vietnamese people usually use fish sauce as the main ingredient. After dilution, add spices such as coriander and chopped pepper, and the taste will be much lighter. The most special thing is that they like to add some western-style ham pieces to the dip water, which seems to increase nutrition and can also be regarded as compensation for the lack of small rolls of meat. Many snack bars make their own small rolls and sell them now. Compared with the unified purchase, this slightly primitive hand-made can ensure the freshness of food. This also let me know the making process of rolled powder, and also learned a lot.
The most famous snacks in Hanoi are all kinds of rice noodles, among which chicken powder and snail powder are the most famous. But when we went to the narrow old street under the guidance of the tour guide and tasted the authentic Hanoi rice noodles, everyone applauded and fell for it. In my opinion, the biggest reason why the rice noodles in Hanoi are rated as "unpalatable to death" by China tourists is the great difference in taste. Originally, the soup of rice noodles was very weak, and even the sour taste of rice noodles itself could be eaten. Moreover, the chicken pieces or snails added inside have no taste, and they are basically cooked in clear water. Those snails have no attraction except to add a fishy smell to a bowl of rice noodles. Of course, in the eyes of China people, this kind of thing is extremely unpalatable.
On the whole, though, the Vietnamese diet doesn't suit the tastes of China people. But in Vietnam, I was deeply impressed by two kinds of delicious food.
It's also a Vietnamese hamburger. This is the name I gave to a breakfast that Vietnamese people (especially people in central and southern China) often eat. Because they don't have a special name for this kind of breakfast, they just call it "bread" in general. The word bread can't reflect the characteristics of this food. The main body of Vietnamese hamburger is French bread brought to Vietnam by the French, which is usually spindle-shaped, with fragile shell and soft heart. Bread used to make Vietnamese hamburgers is generally 20 to 30 centimeters long. When you want to eat, cut a hole in the middle of the bread lengthwise, add eggs, meat sauce, floss or sliced meat (there are many kinds to choose from), cut into small pieces of vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes and vegetables, and then add various seasonings (many of which I don't know). In short, you should add about a dozen things to it, and then close the hole to make a Vietnamese hamburger. Compared with western hamburgers, the things in Vietnamese hamburgers are much more complicated and the taste is more in line with the habits of orientals. Vegetables have more content and are much less greasy. As a daily breakfast, Vietnamese hamburgers are more nutritious and healthy than western hamburgers.
Another thing is Vietnamese coffee. Under the influence of the French, Vietnamese have developed the habit of drinking coffee. Vietnamese coffee, like tea in China, is a popular national drink. Cafes are everywhere in urban and rural areas, just like teahouses in ancient China. Even in remote and backward small towns, you can easily find cafes. Cafe is an important social place for Vietnamese. Most of them are poorly decorated and simple in layout, which looks no different from snack bars. Accordingly, the price of Vietnamese coffee is extremely low, almost as cheap as China people can hardly imagine. Drinking a cup of espresso made of coffee beans on the spot in a coffee shop actually costs only three to five yuan. This low price is not only absolute, but also relative. I have roughly calculated that the price of food in Vietnamese restaurants is about 1/2 to 1/3 of that of similar food in China, but the price of Vietnamese coffee is only110 to 1/20 of that of similar coffee in China, which shows the great difference. Low price does not mean inferior quality. We have had coffee in small cafes in five or six cities in Vietnam, and each kind is made on the spot, and the taste is definitely not worse than that of a cup of coffee with tens of dollars in domestic cafes. If we take the common "Shangdao Coffee" in China as a reference, then about 80% of Vietnamese small cafes make better coffee than Shangdao Coffee. During that time in Vietnam, although there was no delicious food, I could drink excellent coffee every day, and I drank it calmly and comfortably, which was also a kind of compensation.
