The cuisine of Vietnam comes as a pleasant surprise to many visitors
and is definitely a part of the Vietnam experience not to be missed.
One of the characteristics of Vietnamese food is that it is always
fresh being bought the same morning straight from the market. Food is
usually prepared with a minimal amount of oil and served with the
ubiquitous fish sauce called nuoc mam.
Typical Vietnamese dishes you can expect to try include pho, a type
of rice noodle soup eaten for breakfast; cha gio,
deep-fried spring
rolls; and goi ngo sen, a delicious salad made with lotus stems, shrimp
and peanuts. Due to the strong Buddhist influence in Vietnam,
vegetarian food is widely available. |
