Must Eat Vietnamese Food: Flavors mr.hotsia Will Never Forget

Traveling to Vietnam for me, mr.hotsia, is not just about exploring cities or nature, but about opening a flavor experience that I believe everyone "must try" at least once in their life. Vietnamese cuisine is full of variety and cultural essence hidden in every bite. Whether it's street food by the roadside or small local-recommended restaurants – everything has a unique charm and allure.

I started in Lang Son cityLang Son Provincewhich is a province mostly mountainous and bordering China. I stayed at Hoang Son Hotel in the city center. Just a few minutes' walk brought me to a bustling local market. I did not miss trying the famous "Lang Son roast duck," which has fragrant crispy skin and tender juicy meat, topped with a unique special sauce. It's a flavor I always remember whenever I think of Vietnam.

Another unforgettable experience was taking a trip to Da Lat, a city in Lam Dong province, famous for its Mahayana Buddhist temples such asTruc Lam TempleBesides the tranquility and beautiful architecture, I also tried local dishes that are diverse and use fresh mountain herbs, such as Banh Bot Loc (Vietnamese shrimp and pork dumplings) and herb-grilled pork, which are spicy and flavorful. Eating in the peaceful temple atmosphere made every bite feel even more special.

Market Walks and Food Hunting: The Heart of Eating in Vietnam

For those who love market walks like me, visiting morning markets in Vietnam is a must. Walking past stalls filled with fresh vegetables, colorful fruits, and tempting local foods like fresh spring rolls wrapped in thin rice paper with fresh shrimp, grilled pork, or sweet and sour dipping sauce that perfectly complements the flavors. I once visited the market in Vinh Long, a transportation hub in the Mekong Delta. Walking through this market gave me a glimpse of the real lifestyle and food culture of southern Vietnamese people.Vinh Long Bus StationLocated near the market, convenient for travelers needing to transfer to other cities.
