Vietnamese Cuisine : An Introdution to Vietnamese Food
Prior to visiting Vietnam my experience with Vietnamese cuisine was rather limited. Having only sampled Pho and Vietnamese spring rolls I visited foreign territory not really sure what to expect. Well, I was certainly in for a surprise - a pleasant one. Vietnamese cuisine is one of the strongest in Southeast Asia in terms of its regional diversity and range of ingredients used in dishes. The following is a travel guide for the best Vietnamese food to sample while exploring the country:

1) Our favorite restaurant in Vietnam was Tra Que, a cooking school located on the outskirts of Hoi An in a rural village setting. Growing organic vegetables and herbs we ordered Vietnamese pancakes, three friends and papaya salad.
2) If you like finger food a visit to the Bale Well in Hoi An is an absolute must. Scarfing down country pancakes and spring rolls was on the agenda here. In order to make a proper roll you take cucumber, kimchi, salad, satay and a spring and wrap it in a piece of lettuce.
3) To learn how to cook Vietnamese food we headed over to Green Moss. Invited into the back of the kitchen we watched and helped prepare Pho, Cao Lau and pancakes.
4) We couldn't leave Hoi An without first sampling two very popular local delicacies - White Rose and Cao Lau. The shrimp dumplings were delicious and the thick noodles with pork brisket in a spicy coconut milk base really hit the spot. Apparently the local recipes are safeguarded by a few locals who are unwilling to share.
5) For our cheapest meal in Vietnam we headed to a vegetarian restaurant in Nha Trang called Au Lac. This pure vegetarian feast specialized in tofu based dishes with all kinds of Vietnamese veggies.
6) Don't leave Vietnam without trying a lemongrass based dish. One of the best we've ever had was at Lanterns restaurant in Nha Trang where paired this dish with shrimp claypot. Yum!
Although we got to sample many different kinds of Vietnamese dishes, we still felt we only scratched the surface. What are some Vietnamese dishes that you've tried that we didn't feature here?

Hu Tieu Nam Vang - Popular Street Food Noodles in Vietnam
Hu Tieu Nam Vang is one of the most popular noodles soup dishes in Saigon. Read all about this place here:
Although pho is extremely popular as well, another noodle dish, this one called Hu Tieu Nam Vang, might be equally as popular, and widely available everywhere you look throughout Saigon. The noodle soup dish actually has an interesting history. Hu Tieu comes originally from kuy teav noodle soup, a simple pork based soup and pork broth. Nam Vang, on the other hand is a word that means Phnom Penh, the capital and largest city in Cambodia. So together, the dish is a combination of Cambodian and Chinese flavors, with a rich history in Vietnam.
There are many restaurants and street food stalls throughout Saigon selling Hu Tieu Nam Vang, ranging from nice indoor restaurants to simple street food stalls. When I was walking around and exploring, I found a popular spot, where there were plenty of people gathered around, and so I decided to try my first bowl of Vietnamese Hu Tieu Nam Vang. I ordered just the normal bowl, which came to my table, with a big handful of blanched rice noodles on the bottom, topped with a handful of assorted pig parts like intestines, liver and lungs, as well as a shrimp on the side. The best part about eating Vietnamese street food is all the herbs and vegetables that always come on your table. But before digging into the herbs, I first began by adding in some chili sauce, which was a little sweet and spicy, and then added a few scoops of fresh garlic to my bowl. I noticed that many Vietnamese were adding a ketchupy looking chili sauce to their bowl of Hu Tieu Nam Vang, but I decided to skip it and just go with the chili sauce and garlic.
The noodles were soft and slid down very easily and the pork was a simple stock made from pork bones, a tad bit sweet and salty to perfection. The basket of fresh vegetables included chrysanthemum greens, as well as sweet basil and a number of other herbs as well. I noticed some people were eating herbs after taking bites of noodles, and other people were just plucking herbs and mixing them into their bowl of noodles. Either works well.
In addition to my bowl of Hu Tieu Nam Vang, another popular thing to have at this Saigon street food stall is sugarcane juice. Since it was a hot and humid day in Saigon, the cold sugarcane juice was refreshing and hit the spot along with the hot bowl of noodles. Because this bowl of Hu Tieu Nam Vang was on the cheaper side, it wasn’t the best bowl I’ve had, mainly because there wasn’t all that much meat in it. But if you find a bowl that’s more expensive, it will definitely include more meat. Nevertheless, it was a very satisfying bowl of noodles for lunch, and I especially enjoyed the atmosphere on the street side.
Here are all the details of this street food stall:
Address: It’s right on Cao Thang road and just past Nguyen Dinh Chieu intersection
Open hours: I’m not sure exactly their open hours, but I went for lunch at about 11:30 am and they were busy with customers. If you go at noon, they will be packed.
Prices: 22,000 VND for a bowl of Hu Tieu Nam Vang - a pretty good deal for a bowl of noodles in central Saigon - that could be one of the reasons for so many customers.
