Must-Try Flavors on Your Food Tour

  • Pho (Vietnam): Fragrant beef or chicken noodle soup with fresh herbs, lime, and chili. Best in Hanoi’s Old Quarter or Ho Chi Minh City’s street stalls.

  • Banh Mi (Vietnam): Crispy baguette filled with pâté, pickled carrots, cilantro, and grilled pork or egg. A French-Vietnamese fusion masterpiece.

  • Amok (Cambodia): Creamy coconut curry with fish or chicken, steamed in banana leaves. A signature dish in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

  • Nom Banh Chok (Cambodia): Khmer rice noodles topped with green fish curry, fresh vegetables, and herbs. A breakfast favorite in local markets.

  • Fresh Spring Rolls (Both): Rice paper rolls stuffed with shrimp, pork, herbs, and vermicelli—served with peanut or fish sauce dipping.

These dishes are more than meals—they’re cultural rituals best experienced on a curated Vietnam Tour or Cambodia Tour with Legend Travel Group.

Cultural Etiquette for Food Tours in Vietnam and Cambodia

Respecting Local Dining Traditions

Food is sacred in Vietnam and Cambodia. Follow these tips to dine like a local:

  • Greetings: Say “xin chào” (Vietnam) or “sous-dey” (Cambodia) with a smile when ordering.

  • Chopsticks & Spoons: Use chopsticks for noodles; spoons for soups. Never stick chopsticks upright in rice—it resembles funeral incense.

  • Sharing is Caring: Dishes are communal. Take small portions and pass plates clockwise.

  • Tipping: Not required but appreciated (10,000 VND / 10,000 KHR for exceptional service).

  • Dress: Casual and comfortable; cover shoulders and knees when visiting temples before or after meals.

Legend Travel Group’s Vietnam Tours and Cambodia Tours include expert guides who ensure you navigate local customs with ease.
