One of the contributing factors is the fertile conditions in which many of the ingredients are grown. Plants such as lemongrass, eggplant and bok choy are grown in the foothills of the mountainous regions of Vietnam and the chefs use them to create explosive flavour. As you travel through the country you will also experience different Vietnamese cuisine characteristics from region to region, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Northern Vietnam incorporates noodles as the base of their street food dishes, more so than the commonly used ingredient rice. Also has a strong Chinese influence when it comes to the style of cooking.<\/li>\n<li>You will find the more traditional style of Vietnamese cuisine in the southern parts of Vietnam, with fresh ingredients such as fish, vegetables and fruits being supplied from the fertile waters of the Mekong Delta.<\/li>\n<li>Central Vietnam is the region to go to if you want to taste the boldest flavours of the country. The area relies heavily on ingredients such as salt and fish sauce to demonstrate big flavours. Due to harsh weather conditions in this area, it makes it nearly impossible to cultivate fresh ingredients, unlike in the north and south of the country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where to try Vietnamese street food<\/h2>\n<p>Vietnamese street food is incredibly cheap as well as tasty &#8211; even more of a reason to feast on some traditionally cooked dishes! Vietnamese street vendors will be very happy to have your custom and you will be able to see the love that they put into their food right in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>Tom from <a href=\"http:\/\/vietnamcoracle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vietnam Coracle<\/a> explains why the taste of Vietnam should be experienced on the sidewalks:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe best food in Vietnam isn\u2019t found in restaurants; it\u2019s found on the street. Every day, in every city, town and village, street food vendors set up their kitchens by the side of the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudge a street food kitchen by how many local people are eating there; not by how it looks. Be adventurous, keep an open mind (and an open mouth) when it comes to what you\u2019ll eat. If a dish looks or sounds strange to you, but Vietnamese people love it, then the chances are that it\u2019s absolutely delicious.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Ho Chi Minh<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/saigon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/saigon.jpg\" alt=\"street food in saigon\" width=\"625\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/saigon.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/saigon-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also known as Ho Chi Minh City, (formerly Saigon) is located in southern Vietnam. The street food dishes that you will find whilst on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/vietnam\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=vietnam%20street%20food\">holidays to Vietnam<\/a> are just as exquisite and beautifully made as the French-colonial style buildings in Ho Chi Minh that were constructed during the First World War.<\/p>\n<p>Broth-based soups are the most popular throughout the day here, such as bun bo hue (a chilli and lemongrass soup, filled with thick cuts of meat) but if you prefer something a little more stodgy, you can also grab banh khot (a rice cake filled with prawns and vegetables) or com suon a very popular pork chop with rice and onions.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on her blog <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legalnomads.com\/saigon-street-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Legal Nomads<\/a>, Jodi, traveller and writer, says that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHo Chi Minh is most definitely a magical place for your taste buds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe culture of food is so prevalent that fast turnover and fresh ingredients rule the roost. At 4pm when I want soup, there is usually a gaggle of other people also chowing down. I joke that I graze like a cow, eating mini meals every few hours and Ho Chi Minh is an ideal place to do so. One can eat through the country as a whole \u2013 foods from the North and South, the Central region and the Mekong Delta \u2013 all in one city.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Hanoi<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hanoi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hanoi.jpg\" alt=\"hanoi street food\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hanoi.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hanoi-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recently topping The Telegraph\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/vietnam\/hanoi-tops-telegraphs-worlds-best-cities-for-food-list\/\">\u201cWorld\u2019s Best Cities For Food\u201d<\/a>, the country\u2019s capital, Hanoi, is on the global stage when it comes to unique taste, and it isn\u2019t hard to see why. There is a fantastic array of coloured stalls on the streets that will tempt you in, even if the wonderful smell hasn\u2019t already done so!<\/p>\n<p>Hanoi\u2019s Dong Xuan market is a great place to start when searching for perfectly cooked Vietnamese street food, but there are street food stalls and vendors at every turn of an alleyway or street. Look out for banh tom hot tay (battered and deep fried potato and shrimp) in the Ba Dinh District and pho bo (soup with pork, chicken or fish), which is a staple breakfast street food dish for the Vietnamese.<\/p>\n<h3>Haiphong<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hai-phong.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hai-phong.jpg\" alt=\"hai phong street food\" width=\"625\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hai-phong.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/hai-phong-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As one of the third largest cities in Vietnam and closer to the coast than any other, Haiphong is the perfect place to grab some freshly caught and cooked fish when taking a break from exploring the city. With many long beaches and places to stop for tasty street food, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to tasting Vietnamese cuisine. If you want to try something a little more different, Haiphong has a large array of seafood such as snails, squid and other fish native to the shores off Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Expect to find street food dishes such as banh da cua (clear noodle soup with spinach, onions and crab) and nem hai san (seafood spring rolls consisting of crab, shrimp and vegetables). Both of these plus many more seafood-inspired eats are better tasted on the streets than the restaurants for a true authentic taste of Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Tom concludes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy golden rules for finding great food all over Vietnam are:<\/p>\n<p>1) Follow the crowds, not the d\u00e9cor<br \/>\n2) Learn to love the mess<br \/>\n3) Keep an \u2018open palate\u2019: try everything.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/brochures\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=vietnam%20street%20food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-564 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/brochure_btn.png\" alt=\"brochure_btn\" width=\"228\" height=\"104\" \/><\/a>Book an award winning Vietnam holiday\u00a0with the Asia experts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=vietnam%20street%20food\">Wendy Wu Tours<\/a>.
