If you’ve ever talked to someone who has visited Vietnam, you’ve likely heard, “and the food was absolutely amazing.” And it truly is! The food is very famous in Vietnam and undoubtedly one of the highlights of your trip there. Sometimes the food may not look very appealing, but once you taste it, it’s delicious. Vietnamese cuisine is quite different from what you’re used to, which adds to the excitement!
If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll be delighted – Vietnamese coffee is among the tastiest I’ve ever had. There are various types of coffee drinks, and they prepare the coffee in a special way. The definite favorite is coconut coffee! I’ll keep this post short with just a list of all the tasty dishes you must not miss tasting!
