Meals in Vietnam, like in many Asian countries, tend to be elaborate family affairs, with members sharing dishes. Each member of the family has an individual plate or bowl of rice and helps himself from the shared bowls of food set out in the centre of the table. If you are dining with a Vietnamese family, expect the meal to consist mainly of vegetables, as meat is a luxury afforded by only the wealthy. Noodles and vegetables comprise staple fare in Vietnamese households; a typical meal would include rice, a dish made out of seafood or meat, vegetables and soup, with fish sauce used as a dip.

Vietnamese Food

Over the past few years, Vietnamese cuisine has become increasingly popular worldwide. Food lovers may have tasted two of Vietnam’s best-known creations – bread rolls and spring rolls. Rice, fresh vegetables, noodles, and herbs are essential ingredients in Vietnamese food preparation, resulting in one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.

In the northern part of Vietnam, people are more likely to use soy sauce than in other parts, largely due to the influence of neighbouring China, where fish sauce is more common. Other common ingredients in Vietnamese cooking used in most dishes include hot chilli, coconut milk, black pepper (mainly in the northern areas), limes, tamarind, lemon grass to add tartness and cane sugar. Potatoes and asparagus are common, thanks to the French colonial influence.

Methods of food preparation used are simmering, boiling, frying and grilling. The most common of these is stir frying, using chopsticks and a wok. A number of European influences can be detected in Vietnamese dishes, including sauces, meats like patés, cold roast pork, and baguettes (French rolls). At the opposite end of the scale, there is still plenty of local demand for unusual meats such as snake, dog and turtle in some parts of the country.

Local Cuisine

Most of the resorts catering to tourists have plenty of restaurants serving seafood. The food served is usually fresh – made from freshly caught seafood, and is well prepared. Vendors are friendly and local restaurants are definitely worth a visit to sample delicacies like seafood cooked barbeque style or fried fish with lemon and chicken fried in fish sauce.
