Local Street Food
Your guide will walk with you through the local streets and stop at the foodstores to taste some specially selected traditional street food such as:
Udon like - Noodle Soup With Braised Fish Fillet
This Soup dish is made exclusively from northern snakehead fish – no substitutes allowed. For some, the idea of using this type of fish might not sound very appealing, but we promise it’s one of Hue’s most beloved winter dishes. While “Bún Bò Huế” may be the city’s most famous name, this humble delicacy is actually what locals crave most when the weather turns cold.
Despite what you might expect, there’s nothing fishy about it – the fish is carefully filleted and treated with lime, cooking wine, and salt before being caramelized to a golden edge. The texture and flavor come together in a way that feels unexpectedly perfect.
Hue- Style Dumpling
No need to say much, this is the ultimate local brunch Or you could call it Hue’s version of tamales, made in a similar way – using banana leaves instead of corn husks, rice flour instead of masa harina, and topped with minced pork
Hue Hot and Spicy Noodles Soup
Bún Bò Huế is one of Hue’s most famous dishes, renowned for its bold, fragrant broth and perfectly balanced flavors.
Vegeterian Cuisine
Hue has undoubtedly one of the strongest Buddhist influences in the country. Many locals follow a vegetarian diet, and observing vegetarian meals on the 1st and 15th of each lunar month is an unmissable tradition—something that was once rare in other regions.
With a vegetarian history spanning hundreds of years, Hue has developed its own distinctive vegetarian dishes, favoring mixed preparations. One highlight is chao (Fermented tofu), a challenging yet addictive condiment, promising you a uniquely culinary experience.
Wrap up your interesting food tour with a sampling of Hue-styledesserts such as sweet soups, yogurt or Sugarcane juice.
