Vietnamese food has recently become more and more famous around the world with several delicious dishes, from Pho (rice noodle soup) to Banh mi (bread), spring roll to Bun cha (grilled pork with rice vermicelli), etc.
Phở, a noodle soup, is by far the most popular dish throughout Vietnam. Originally from Northern Vietnam, the dish became popular throughout the country during the Vietnam War, when refugees from the north migrated to the south, bringing the noodle soup with them. While a bowl of pho will always contain the basic ingredients of rice noodles, hot broth, herbs, and either chicken or beef, there are varying regional differences from Northern to Southern Vietnam, with southern pho being much sweeter than its northern counterpart. While pho can be eaten at any time of the day in the North, it is primarily a breakfast meal in the South.
Bún chả is another dish originating from Northern Vietnam, in Hanoi. Bun Cha is another rice noodle dish that is served with a basket of green herbs and grilled fatty pork in two textures, sausage patties and bacon strips. There is also a dipping sauce made from cucumbers, carrots, vinegar, and fish sauce, with an occasional variation of adding garlic and chili in the mixture. The smoky flavor of the pork makes this dish very popular among locals and foreigners alike, and can be eaten for breakfast or lunch.
Bún bò Huế is a popular Vietnamese soup from central Vietnam, often compared to the iconic pho. The soup originated in Hue, the former capital of Vietnam, and is greatly admired for its balance and usage of spicy, sour, salty, and sweet flavors. Bun bo Hue uses rice vermicelli noodles (like in bun cha), thinly-sliced marinated beef, chunks of ox tail and pig knuckles, and sometimes, congealed pig blood. It is commonly served with a basket of herbs, with fish and shrimp sauce added for taste.
