EXPLORE HOI AN DELICACIES
At 8:00, our tour guide will greet you at your accommodation in Hoi An. On the way, you’ll have the chance to enjoy the nostalgic charm of Hoi An’s streets.
The first stop is the soul dish of the old Quang Nam province, where Hoi An is located, called My Quang (Quang Noodles). The broth is rich and flavorful, simmered from pork or chicken bones, paired with optional toppings such as chicken, frog, shrimp, beef, and traditional spices.
Discover Hoi An bread, which is a nationally well-known street food. It has a signature homemade sauce, generous fillings, and a golden, crunchy crust, making every bite unforgettable.
Refresh yourself with a bowl of Che bap (sweet corn dessert) made from the sweet corn of Central Vietnam, also known as “Cam Nam corn,” grown on Cam Nam Island.
Continue the tour by trying the iconic Com ga Hoi An (Hoi An’s chicken rice). The rice is cooked with fragrant, sticky rice grown along the Thu Bon River. It is served with shredded chicken mixed with onions, spices, and topped with pepper, Vietnamese coriander, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
While strolling through the town, you’ll also have the chance to try Hoi An’s signature herbal drink from Mot. The main ingredients of Mot include a variety of herbs, which help detoxify the body, cool down from the heat, and boost overall health.
Banh xeo Hoi An is another must-try specialty in this city, as it is a very popular food. It comes with a golden, crispy pancake filled with bean sprouts, shrimp, pork, and scallions, best enjoyed with savory dipping sauce and fresh herbs. Banh xeo can also come with a vegetarian option for your preferences.
Finally, let’s ease up by watching the scenery of the ancient town of Hoi An while waiting for each drop of coffee dripping down your cup of Ca phe phin Viet Nam (Vietnamese drip coffee).
The food tour will end at around 12:30, and we will return you to your place in Hoi An.
A Hoi An food tour is more than just tasting local dishes; it is a journey into the heart of the city’s culture and traditions. By the end of the trip, you will not only satisfy your appetite but also bring home unforgettable memories of this charming ancient town.
