There are thousands of ingredients for people to cook various foods. In particular area of Vietnam, they have many ways to cook perhaps for their family or the visitors. For instance, in the North of Vietnam, people often taste more salty and hotter when comparing to the South of Vietnam, people always like to eat the sweet foods.

Tourists can enjoy Vietnamese food everywhere at deluxe restaurants or even at street cafes.
There is proudly range of different foods from up to down in Vietnam. Each location, there is a special food that people can recognize it when they arrive. For example, ‘Pho’ and ‘La Vong Fish-pie’ are famously eaten in the North of Vietnam, while the southern people more likely to eat ‘Nem Chua’.
CHA CA LA VONG (LA VONG FISH-PIE) :
The inventor of this fish-pie came from Doan family on Hang Son Street, Hanoi. In 19th century, Hanoi people normally baked pork, but he baked fish-unstinking fish to make fish-pie. Hanoi people then soon got infatuate it and his eating-house turned prosperous. Henceforth, the name of the street was changed into Cha Ca (fish-pie) from its former name Hang Son (Paint Street) due to success of his eatery.
To Hanoi people, the taste of Cha Ca remains as it was. To have tasty pie, shopkeepers have to select good fish with solid fresh, less bones and good scent. Processed fish is mixed in fish sauce, pepper, galingale, saffron and rice-ferment. Then put on a fire-tongs and grilled right on the eaters' table. Eaters, while eating, have to fan the fire, turn upside down to make both sides baked. Then they put the fish into a bowl of boiling fat and consumed with rice vermicelli, groundnuts, spices, dried rice-cake, sliced onion leaves, some drops of lemon juice and a little coleopteran.
Hanoi people try fish-pie only in Autumn, when the cold wind is blowing outside, spices are in season and a group of friends slowly drink and enjoy the food in a small restaurant on Cha Ca street, what a wonder it's!
BUN BO HUE (HUE BEEF VERMICELLI) :

Hue people enjoy beef-vermicelli in their own way and the food here is a combined art of something fashionable, something very popular. Hue connoisseurs rarely enjoy the food in well-decorated restaurants, and an eating place frequented by tourists is opposite to city post-office on Ly Thuong Kiet Street. Beef-vermicelli is consumed here day and night, the broth-pot is kept boiling but this is not the most visited one because Hue city folks only have beef-vermicelli in the morning and they have their own choice.
