10 Best Vietnamese Dishes

Being Vietnamese, travelling to Vietnam and growing up with my Vietnamese family, I present you the best Vietnamese dishes (according to me).





Just realised the above pic is not in order. I am too lazy to fix it. I spent time making a beautiful collage, so just look at it and enjoy it xox
  1. Pho. The classic noodle soup, can be served with chicken or beef, beef is better imo. Herbs (usually mint), bean sprouts, lemon and hoi sin sauce.
  2. Bun Bo Hue. Another noodle soup, usually derived from scrimp paste. This is actually so tasty the way my momma makes it.
  3. Che Ba Mau. This is a dessert, basically translates to three colour drink, usually something green, something coconutty (made that word up- definitely a thing now) and a green bean thing with shaved ice and you mix it up with a straw or spoon.
  4. Goi cuon; Rice Paper rolls. My mum makes it with prawns, pork belly, cucumbers, lettuce and mint leaves with peanut butter/hoi sin dipping sauce.
  5. Com tam. Broken rice with a meat, usually has egg, or that stringy meat thing i forgot whats it called.
  6. Com ga da gion- Vietnamese crispy skin chicken. Usually served with tomato rice, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, fish sauce (nuc mam) and a small bowl of soup.
  7. Banh mi thit. A baguette with cha-which is this meat thing, more meat (usually pork), mayo, pate, coriander, cucumber.. French influence I guess.
  8. Nem nuong. Meat on a stick, usually served with vermicelli noodles or eaten alone
  9. Rau ma (drink). So refreshing. It's made from blending these leaves. idk what/sorry
  10. Bo la lot. This type of leaf wrapped around meat served on a stick and then cooked. It's actually quite tasty.
+ More but whatev. Those are my favs. You'd probably find better explanations of the food, compared to my shitty descriptions HAHAH
