Pho, banh mi, cao lau... are among the unique Vietnamese breakfast dishes that have made it to the list of world's best.
Vietnamese cuisine is adored for its diversity, uniqueness, and delicious flavors. For breakfast alone, there are plenty of exciting choices. Let's explore 5 distinctive Vietnamese breakfast dishes that you can only find here. Let's dive in with PasGo!
1. Banh mi
Banh mi isn't just a familiar staple to Vietnamese people but also recognized globally as a Vietnamese 'delicacy.' From the North to the South, traversing the length of the country, one can encounter thousands of shops selling incredibly fragrant banh mi sandwiches. The crispy crust of the bread, fragrant and enticing, envelops the soft, white interior, combined with meticulously crafted fillings, rich and flavorful. These fillings could range from a simple sunny-side-up egg with a dash of tangy herbs to a medley of grilled meats, pate, pickles, and fresh, crisp vegetables drizzled with a savory sauce. Whether simple or elaborate, Vietnamese banh mi never fails to captivate the eater from the very first bite.

2. Pho
Ranked at the respectable position of 28th on CNN's list of the 50 most delicious dishes worldwide, pho is always a source of pride for the Vietnamese. Pho consists of fresh pho noodles, broth, and thinly sliced beef or chicken. Its flavor profile is distinctive, simultaneously sweet, savory, and fragrant, yet refreshingly light.
Much like banh mi, pho isn't just confined to every corner of Vietnam but can also be found in many places around the world. There, pho is beloved and acknowledged as a refined, unique, and delectable dish. In Japan, April 4th is designated as Vietnamese Pho Day.

3. Rolled Rice Pancakes
Alongside pho, rolled rice pancakes with thin rice paper, flavorful meat filling, and wood ear mushrooms dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce, served with fresh greens, are a beloved dish by many. At first glance, it may seem simple, but to achieve delicious pancakes, the maker must meticulously select and combine ingredients, skillfully spread them to make thin, white, naturally fragrant rice cakes with just the right amount of chewiness. The savory filling must also be balanced, and the dipping sauce must be carefully seasoned to complement the flavorful filling while pleasing the palate of the eater.

4. Cao Lau
Cao Lau is a unique dish closely associated with the ancient town of Hoi An. At first glance, it may appear to be noodles, but it's not. The Japanese believe that Vietnam's Cao Lau is similar to Japanese Udon noodles but differs in flavor and preparation. The round, thick, chewy noodles are served with raw vegetables, pork cracklings, bean sprouts, and sliced pork. With the first bite, the chewy texture of the noodles, the salty taste of shrimp paste, and the spicy bitterness of the raw vegetables blend together to create an unforgettable flavor.

5. Broken Rice
The last dish to appear in Vietnam's list of exclusive breakfasts is broken rice – a rare specialty of Saigon. A plate of broken rice includes rice cooked from broken grains, ribs, pork skin cake, eggs, and shredded pork. While the ingredients may not seem special, it's the rich, intense flavor of broken rice that has made it popular and familiar to every Saigon resident. No matter where you go, you can always find a reasonably priced broken rice stall with incredibly delicious flavors.
