Today, I am going to make you salivate with the foods I tasted when I was in Vietnam. I tried some of their popular dishes which not only the locals enjoy to eat but made foreigners to beg for more. I was never a vegetarian but when I stayed in Vietnam for more than two weeks, it made me crave to eat more and more vegetables.
I first arrived at Hanoi and met a friend who recommended me to eat a sandwich as we are waiting for our bus to depart going to Ha Giang Province. At the terminal, you can see people eating beside the buses parked outside. From freshly made rice noodles to this sandwich that my friend recommended for me to try.
In Vietnam, they call it Bánh mì which means bread or specifically the baguette or the thin French loaf bread. Inside the Bánh mì sandwich has some native Vietnamese ingredients like coriander, cucumber, pickled carrots and radish. You can also add some chicken, pork or beef if you like. Wherever corners you go in Vietnam, you can see this sandwich.
Even their modern cafe's including starbucks has Bánh mì written on their menu. For only 25,000 dong(normal price), you can fill your stomach and have a kinda diet meal.
