On the occasion of the first-ever Banh Mi (Bread) Festival, Booking.com has shared a list of 6 places associated with outstanding examples of banh mi that visitors cannot ignore. They are Hanoi, Da Nang, Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City.
'Pho' (noodle soup), 'banh mi' (Vietnamese sandwich), 'Ca kho to' (Vietnamese fish braised in a clay pot), 'Lau ca tam' (sturgeon fish hot pot) and black coffee, along with several other dishes, have been listed by the world-famous culinary website TasteAtlas, among popular foods in the world in 2023.
A workshop took place on October 11 in Ho Chi Minh City to discuss the journey of the banh mi, a kind of Vietnamese sandwich, from culinary cultural exchange to the value of a national brand.
