If you're a foodie traveling to Vietnam, then you can't miss out on the famous Vietnamese sandwich, Banh Mi. Booking.com recommends Hanoi, Hue, Da Lat, Hoi An, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) as the top destinations to enjoy this mouth-watering dish.
In Hanoi, you can find various types of Banh Mi, including the popular Banh Mi Chao, which is served
with eggs, pate, and sausage. The dish is cooked in a frying pan, and a combination of chili sauce and soy sauce is added to give it a unique flavor. The egg yolk and seasoning create a tasty sauce that you can dip your crispy bread into.

If you're in Hue, then you have to try the Banh Bot Loc, which is a special Banh Mi filling. This dish is a chewy dumpling made from tapioca flour, filled with pork and shrimp, and steamed in banana leaves before being served with fish sauce. According to Booking.com, a good rice dumpling cake would have a transparent flour cover that reveals its shrimp and meat filling. Adding a few slices of chasiu, herbs, chili, sugar, fish sauce, and chasiu gravy provides a rich, delicious, buttery taste that's unparalleled.
In the Central Highlands town of Da Lat, tourists can enjoy street food vendors selling bread with boiling broth filled with fragrant Xiu Mai (shumai). The shumai meatballs are made of lean ground pork and served with a broth made from simmered pork bones. You can also order additional side dishes such as pate and pork rolls.
Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its Banh Mi stalls, including Madame Khanh, Phuong, and Ms. Lanh. Madame Khanh's stall has been in the same hands for 50 years and offers loaves of Banh Mi packed with meat, pate, veggies, and sauce.
Nha Trang, Banh Mi with grilled fish cake is a popular breakfast option. The Banh Mi loaf is filled with fried fish cakes, scallions, coriander, soy sauce, sliced chili peppers, or pickled daikon and carrots. The fish cakes are usually made of pounded fish fillets, fish sauce, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper.
If you're in HCMC, then you must try Huynh Hoa, one of the most famous Banh Mi stalls. The sandwiches here cost VND58,000 ($2.54) and are filled with layers of meat, cold cuts, and pork floss, with a unique mayonnaise mix that sets them apart from the rest.
Late last week, foreign visitors queued in long lines to enjoy this popular street food at the country’s first Banh Mi Festival held in HCMC's District 1.
