In the Spotlight: Vietnam
Vietnam is a paradise for food lovers, with countless street food stalls and basic eateries offering delicious meals for just a few dollars. Authenticity and flavor are found in the simplest of places.
Phở Gia Truyền Bát Đàn (Hanoi): An old-school institution famous for its traditional northern-style Phở. Be prepared to queue with the locals for a truly authentic beef noodle soup experience.
Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa (Ho Chi Minh City): Often called the best Bánh Mì in Saigon, this spot loads its baguettes with layers of cold cuts, pâté, and fresh vegetables. It's a hearty and flavorful sandwich.
Cơm Tấm Ba Ghiền (Ho Chi Minh City): Famous for its "broken rice" topped with a massive, perfectly grilled pork chop. It's a classic, satisfying Southern Vietnamese meal.
Bún Chả Hương Liên (Hanoi): This eatery gained global fame after being visited by President Obama and Anthony Bourdain. It serves classic Hanoi-style Bún Chả (grilled pork with noodles).
Vietnamese cuisine is known for its fresh ingredients, minimal use of oil, and reliance on fragrant herbs and vegetables. It's a balance of five fundamental flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and spicy.
Phở: Vietnam's national dish, a flavorful noodle soup with a broth made from simmering bones and spices for hours. Typically served with beef (phở bò) or chicken (phở gà).
Bánh Mì: A legacy of the French colonial period, this Vietnamese baguette is filled with a delicious mix of meats, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and chili.
Gỏi Cuốn (Spring Rolls): Fresh, healthy summer rolls packed with greens, coriander, minced pork, shrimp, or crab. They are typically served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce.
Bún Chả: A Hanoi specialty featuring grilled pork patties and slices served in a bowl of fish sauce-based broth with fresh herbs and rice vermicelli noodles on the side.
Vietnam's markets are vibrant, chaotic, and an essential part of daily life. They are the best places to find local specialties, taste authentic street food, and observe the local culture.
Bến Thành Market (Ho Chi Minh City): A bustling market in the heart of the city. It's a great place for souvenir shopping, and its food court offers a huge variety of local dishes.
Đồng Xuân Market (Hanoi): The largest indoor market in Hanoi, housed in a Soviet-style building. It's a wholesale hub with everything from clothes and electronics to a massive food section.
Hội An Night Market (Hội An): Famous for its beautiful, colorful lanterns that illuminate the streets. Here you can shop for handicrafts, souvenirs, and enjoy delicious local street food.
The official currency is the Vietnamese Đồng (VND). US dollars are sometimes accepted in major tourist areas, but it's best to use VND. Credit cards are accepted in hotels and large restaurants, but cash is king, especially for street food and at local markets.
- ATMs are widely available in cities.
- Always carry small notes for easy transactions.
- Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service (10-15%).
- Be careful with similar-looking notes (e.g., 20,000 and 500,000 VND).
For Indian passport holders, a visa is required to enter Vietnam. The most convenient option is the e-visa, which allows for a stay of up to 90 days with single or multiple entries. You must apply online through the official government portal before your travel.
- Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months.
- Apply via the official Vietnam e-visa website: evisa.gov.vn.
- Carry a printed copy of your e-visa.
- Enter only through the port of entry specified on your e-visa.
Vietnam is generally a very safe country for tourists. However, be mindful of petty theft like pickpocketing and bag snatching in crowded cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Traffic can be chaotic, so be extremely careful when crossing streets.
- Use reputable ride-hailing apps like Grab or Gojek.
- Be aware of common scams (e.g., taxi meter scams, fake tour operators).
- Keep your valuables secure and out of sight.
- Emergency Numbers: Police (113), Fire (114), Ambulance (115).
