One of the best street foods in the ancient city of Hoi An in Vietnam that visitors should not miss when traveling to this ancient town is 'Vac' cake (dubbed as White Rose), which is made from simple ingredients of rice flour and fresh shrimp.
'Tao pho' (sweet tofu pudding) is a very common and popular sweet dessert made from soy beans. Tofu pudding has the smooth, creamy texture of a light flan, but the taste of soy milk.
Grapefruit Pudding is a popular dessert in Can Tho city. Although this dish is widely available all over Vietnam, the porridge made in Can Tho has a special flavour that can be found nowhere else.
To many foreigners, Vietnamese are considered adventurous eaters – not afraid to devour the whole animal, blood and guts included. Insects are also on the menu. I laughed when a foreign friend recently asked me whether it was true that when a Vietnamese man encounters a new animal, he first asks “Is it dangerous?” and secondly “Is it edible?”
