Barbecue Pork Ribs in Huế: The Taste of Happiness by mr.hotsia in the World Heritage City

If you ask me, mr.hotsia, about my favorite dish, grilled foods like barbecue pork ribs definitely rank at the top. I love the aroma of the grilled meat that melts on the tongue and the perfect marbling of fat. But fearing gaining weight soon, I usually hold back from eating it too often. However, when I visited Huế, a province full of Vietnamese history and culture, I didn’t miss the chance to fully enjoy the barbecue pork ribs here without worrying about my weight.

Huế, the ancient city and capital of Thua Thien-Huế province, has many charms including historical tourist sites such asThe Imperial City of Huếand the atmosphere along the Perfume River, which I love to stroll by at night (if you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend clicking to seeNight Walks in Huếmy page). Among the local foods I encountered, the barbecue pork ribs really captured my heart.

Huế Barbecue Pork Ribs: Deliciousness You Must Pick

In Huế, barbecue pork ribs are grilled and sold by the piece right in front of the shops. They look so mouthwatering. You can order them as a snack or pair them with hot rice as you like. I ordered both in the same meal! The pork is marinated thoroughly with spices and barbecue sauce, then grilled until the skin is crispy and the inside tender and soft. It’s a joy for grilled food lovers like me that’s hard to find elsewhere.

But as in real life, there are ups and downs. Not every piece of ribs here is delicious. On my recent visits, I found some pieces tougher and less tender than the first time, which greatly reduced the flavor I once loved. So I recommend that if you try it yourself, don’t hesitate to pick the most appetizing pieces from the front of the shop to avoid disappointment and enjoy it fully like mr.hotsia.

Eating Barbecue Pork Ribs in Huế with the Old City Atmosphere

Eating delicious barbecue pork ribs in Huế is not just about the food. It’s about experiencing the local lifestyle and atmosphere that impressed me deeply. Huế is a city that is both peaceful and lively at the same time. If you visit in the evening and stroll along the Perfume River, your meal will be filled with happiness and wonderful memories.

I usually choose to stay at guesthouses or hotels near the Perfume River because it’s convenient to walk anywhere and you can also enjoy the view of the Perfume River Bridge lit up beautifully with colorful lights at night (if you’re interested in accommodations, check outHotels, Guesthouses, and Accommodations in Huếon my page). After a walk, sitting down to eat hot pork ribs with steamed rice here is a simple joy that impresses me greatly.

Huế and the Variety of Vietnamese Food

Barbecue pork ribs are not the only highlight in Huế. The local food here is diverse and very interesting, such as hot noodle soup different from Hanoi’s pho, or affordable rice with curry dishes that I, as a Thai, really enjoy (if you want details about food in Huế, check outFood in Huếon my page). Huế offers both single-dish meals and main courses that kept me here for weeks without getting bored.
