Hands-on heritage—Vietnam’s freshest bite (Source: Internet)Phở: Hanoi’s iconic beef or chicken noodle soup, simmered for hours with star anise and cinnamon.
Bánh Mì: Crispy baguette stuffed with pâté, pickled carrots, cilantro, and your choice of grilled pork or tofu.
Gỏi Cuốn (Fresh Spring Rolls): Translucent rice paper wrapped around shrimp, herbs, and vermicelli—light yet bursting with flavor.

Som Tam: Green papaya salad pounded with lime, fish sauce, and bird’s eye chilies.

Vietnam: Use chopsticks for noodles and spoons for soup. It’s polite to finish your bowl as a sign of appreciation. Say “ngon” (delicious) to your host.
