Stuffed omelette (banh khoai), most comfortably described as Vietnam's version of the taco, is today probably the best-known dish from Hue.
Ruou nep (sticky rice brew) is a brew made from sticky rice which has been fermented with yeast. The result is a thick, sweet pudding. Ruou nep smells like young rice in the field and tastes slightly of alcohol. Some forms of ruou nep may be drunk while others, which are thick, must be eaten with a spoon.
Hanoi’s traditional doughnuts, called banh ran, are cheap and tasty. Street vendors sell a lot as snacks especially in the cold weather.
Those who have ever come to visit Hue, one of the world heritages, can not forget a romantic and poetic ancient capital with gentle and elegant girls in traditional ao dai. And one more thing that makes people, both tourists and natives can not help remembering Hue and always desire to return this old capital is Hue thin cakes, a special dish of Hue people.
For many Vietnamese today, com nieu does not always mean a modest life in the countryside. As fast food corrupts traditional diets, people are longing for a taste of home cooking.
