The culinary culture in each region of Vietnam carries its own unique charm. For Vietnamese locals, dishes like banh mi, bun cha, or snails are familiar and comforting. However, to foreign tourists, these delicacies may appear exotic. Here is the story of Vietnamese specialties as narrated by an American traveler.
Phu Quoc Island
I had the opportunity to visit Phu Quoc – an island off the southern coast of Vietnam. Although I didn't get to indulge in many local delicacies, I was still impressed by the culinary scene here.


Ho Chi Minh City
In contrast to Phu Quoc, upon arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, I seized every moment to savor the city's specialties. Would you believe that within just 2 and a half days, I enjoyed a total of 12 meals, ranging from restaurants and street vendors to the night market?



Charming Hoi An
I discovered two dishes that I absolutely adore in the ancient town of Hoi An.
