Here are some of the highlights and must try! Well I love Vietnamese cuisine because they are decked with lots of fresh herbs and vegetables plus most of their dishes are very light.

Goi Cuon Trai Bo (Hanoi)

Goi Cuon Trai Bo (Hanoi)

Appetizer such as fresh spring rolls, avocado, noodles, pickles vegetables, fragrant herbs, crushed peanuts.

Banh Xeo Hoi An (Hoi An)

Banh Xeo Hoi An (Hoi An)

This is a traditional Hoi An pancake with chicken, shitake mushroom, wood ear, spring onion, bean sprout sweet & sour fish sauce dip. 

Banh Xeo Hoi An (Hoi An)

I noticed I hardly get this pancake in Malaysia. I love the combinations of ingredients, herbs and the fish sauce is very light to locked in all the taste.

Goi Buoi Tom (Tien Giang)

Goi Buoi Tom (Tien Giang)

Pomelo salad with prawns, carrots, bean sprouts, cucumber, chili, fragrant herbs, crushed peanuts, fish sauce with garlic chili dressing. I don’t mind having this salad by itself for my lunch and dinner because it’s so appetizing, light and refreshing. I love popping juicy pomelo it not only it helps to hydrate my body but this whole combination is just right plus I love the hint of mild spiciness.

Cha Ca La Vong (Hanoi)

Cha Ca La Vong (Hanoi)

Grilled seabass “La Vong” Style, this is one of the famous dish in Hanoi and now you don’t have to go all the way there. You can enjoy it here in Kuala Lumpur. The fragrant & flavourful marinaton of seabass with the herbs, greens and eat with Vietnamese dry vermicelli is simply delish, if you like spicy add a bit of chilli and the sauce to give the kick.

Mien Xao Cua (Hai Phong)

Mien Xao Cua (Hai Phong)

Stir fried crab meat with vermicelli, mushroom, celery, egg and laksa leaf is so addictive. This dish may look simple but when you try it you will crave for more, the aroma of wok fried crab meat combined with assorted vegetables and vermicelli.

Mien Xao Cua (Hai Phong), Ga Kho Gung (Hanoi), Bo Xao La Lot (Northwest Vietnam), Su Hao Xoa (Northern Vietnam), and Canh Hai San Chua Kieu Mien Nam (Southern Vietnam)
