Food in Vietnam plays a big part in their culture

Street Food Tour in Vietnam plays a big part in their culture. In fact, almost every aspect of social and family life revolves around either producing or sharing a tasty meal. More than half of Vietnam’s population makes a living in agriculture or in the food trade industry. And this is definitely evident within the walls of the Ancient Town that I currently call home – Hoi An.

There’s delicious food on every street food corner, from the popular Banh Mi to the lesser-known Vietnamese culture (duck porridge) – although the latter is far nicer than the name suggests! It seems as if people are always either eating or cooking in Vietnam; of course, this is understandable in a country with such outstanding cuisine.

NOTE: If you’re planning to travel to Vietnam soon and you need to get a visa to enter, please remember that you need to apply for this prior your visit. That said, there are few extra precautions you need to take care of to avoid scams – read my dear friend’s post about her experience about visa scams in Vietnam.
