Hoi An Streetfood tour

We walk to the old town where we visit many street food establishments specializing in a particular dish.

These include:

Bánh mì, the Vietnamese baguette sandwich, a testament to French colonial influence (1888-1954), is a must-try. Indulge in this iconic Vietnamese street food at Bánh Mì Phượng on Phan Chu Trinh Street, renowned for its delectable offerings.

Bánh Bèo, a celebrated local food in Hoi An and a favorite across Central Vietnam, features steamed rice cakes topped with dried shrimp, crispy pork skin, and scallion oil, all served with a dipping sauce in small, round bowls. This dish is a must-try for food enthusiasts exploring Hoi An.

Bánh Canh, a popular noodle soup from the Hue and Da Nang regions, offers a variety of culinary experiences. This dish is characterized by its thick, chewy noodles, made from rice and tapioca flour, and comes in numerous versions, each featuring distinct ingredients.

Cao Lầu, a culinary icon of Hoi An, features distinctive Cao Lau noodles, flavorful pork slices, crispy crackling, fresh vegetables, and scalded soya sprouts, all brought together by a unique, robust broth. Its authentic flavor, impossible to replicate outside Hoi An, is credited to the use of water from the famed Ba Le Well, making it a quintessential Hoi An dining experience.

Hến Trộn, a flavorful Vietnamese appetizer, features a vibrant mix of tiny clams, fragrant onions, fresh Vietnamese mint, crunchy roasted peanuts, and savory fish sauce. This unique dish is traditionally served by spooning the mixture onto crispy rice crackers, offering a delightful textural contrast.

Chè Xí Mà, a centuries-old favorite in Hoi An, is a simple yet satisfying sweet soup. This warm dessert blends black sesame seeds, rice, water, and sugar, creating a comforting and popular treat served hot in small bowls.
