Vietnamese cuisine doesn’t win any points for complexity. Many of the most popular dishes can be made just as well on the side of the road as in a top-end restaurant.

Bánh ướt thịt nướng

But it’s precisely this simplicity, the subtle variations by region and the fresh ingredients that keep us pulling up a plastic stool for more.

1. Pho

What list of Vietnamese cuisine would be complete without pho? It’s almost impossible to walk a block in Vietnam’s major cities without bumping into a crowd of hungry patrons slurping noodles at a makeshift pho stand.

This simple staple consisting of a salty broth, fresh rice noodles, a sprinkling of herbs and chicken or beef, features predominately in the local diet — and understandably so. It’s cheap, tasty, and widely available at all hours.

Just look out for a mass of people on plastic stools — or try a tried and tested favorite: Pho Thin, 13 Lo Duc, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi; +84 43 821 2709

2. Cha ca

Hanoians consider cha ca to be so exceptional that there is a street in the capital dedicated to these fried morsels of fish.

This namesake alley is home to Cha Ca La Vong, which serves sizzling chunks of fish seasoned with garlic, ginger, turmeric and dill on a hot pan tableside.

Cha Ca La Vong may be the busiest but the service is a bit gruff and the food overpriced. Instead make your way to Duong Than in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district, where you’ll find plenty of more affordable but just as tasty options

3. Banh xeo

A good banh xeo is a crispy crepe bulging with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts, plus the garnish of fresh herbs that are characteristic of most authentic Vietnamese dishes.

To enjoy one like a local, cut it into manageable slices, roll it up in rice paper or lettuce leaves and dunk it in whatever special sauce the chef has mixed up for you.

Banh Xeo 46A has mixed reviews but judging by the crowds that swarm there each night they must be doing something right. Banh Xeo, 46A Dinh Cong Trang, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)

4. Cao lau

This pork noodle dish from Hoi An is a bit like the various cultures that visited the trading port at its prime. The thicker noodles are similar to Japanese udon, the crispy won-ton crackers and pork are a Chinese touch, while the broth and herbs are clearly Vietnamese.

Authentic cau lao is made only with water drawn from the local Ba Le well.

Try Morning Glory, 106 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hoi An; +84 510 224 1555

5. Rau muong

Some might call it river weed — with good reason — but that doesn’t stop the masses from scarfing down platefuls of morning glory, usually stir-fried and seasoned with slithers of potent garlic.

Rau muong is common at Vietnamese restaurants and beer gardens.

Chung Den Bia Hoi, 18B Hang Cot, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

6. Nem ran/cha gio

Vietnam’s bite-sized crunchy spring rolls might not enjoy the same popularity as their healthier fresh equivalent, but they deserve a special mention.

The crispy shell with a soft veggie and meat filling dunked in a tangy sauce gets the gastronomic juices flowing before a main course. In the north these parcels go by the name nem ran while southerners call them cha gio.

1 Hang Manh, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

7. Goi cuon

These light and healthy fresh spring rolls are a wholesome choice when you’ve been indulging in too much of the fried food in Vietnam.

The translucent parcels are first packed with salad greens, a slither of meat or seafood and a layer of coriander, before being neatly rolled and dunked in Vietnam’s favorite condiment — fish sauce.

Quan An Ngon, 18 Phan Boi Chau, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi; +84 43 942 8162

8. Bun bo Hue

Central Vietnam’s take on noodles caters to carnivores with its meaty broth and piles of beef and pork. The thick slippery rice noodles also make for a heartier meal than noodles found in the north and south.

You don’t have to go to Hue to enjoy this dish; if in Ho Chi Minh City try Tib Express, 162 NguyenDinh Chieu, District 3, HCMC; +84 8 3822 5038

9. Banh khot

This dainty variation of a Vietnamese pancake has all the same tasty ingredients but is a fraction of the size. Each banh knot can be scoffed in one ambitious but satisfying mouthful.

The crunchy outside is made using coconut milk and the filling usually consists of shrimp, mung beans, and spring onions with a dusting of dried shrimp flakes on top.

Co Ba Vung Tau, 59B Cao Thang, District 3, HCMC

10. Ga tan

Got the sniffles? Opt for ga tan, a broth that’s Vietnam’s answer to the proverbial cup of chicken noodle soup. Sure it’s not quite how your mother used to make it, with its greenish tinge from the herbs and hunks of chicken parts, but it’s worth a try if you’re needing a Vietnamese tonic.

Try this at one of the street stalls on Hanoi’s Tong Duy Tan aka Pho Am Thuc, or “Food Street”),Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

Since the past three years, the images of beautiful firework displays colorfully bursting in the melodious music stream on sparkling Han River night has been imprinted in the heart of Da Nang residents and visitors whenever referring to the beautiful city of peace by the river and by the sea. The world class performances shown by the teams from five continents bring to viewers the true strange and different feelings, create an international class playground, reunion and is becoming a brand, a unique tourism product of the City.

To follow the success of the past 3 years, on 29th and 30th April 2011, Da Nang city continue to organize the International Firework Contest with the participation of England (Jubilee Fireworks Company), Korea (Hanwha Companyn), Italy (Parente Fireworks A & C SNC Company), China (Panda Fireworks Company) and the host team – Vietnam (Danang City). The international teams has been selected based on quality, capacity and ranking in the international firework competition in the world, this promises to give Danang International Fireworks Contest 2011 many gorgeous and attractive displays bringing the unique color of each team.

This year, Da Nang city will continue to build the stage system consisting of two zones: stand A at the main stage with a capacity of over 9,000 seats for invited guests and stage B on an empty land of Olalani Project with the capacity of about 16,000 seats to sell tickets for residents and visitors with the price of 200,000 VND per person per ticket per night. In order to create favorable conditions for residents and visitors, Da Nang City arranges ticket selling post in Ho Chi Minh (1 point), Hanoi (1 point) and 5 points in Danang consisting of Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Nguyen Hien Dinh Theatre, Trung Vuong Theatre, Center for Tourism Promotion and Viet Art Joint Stock Company. Besides, the city also allows companies owning tourism boats to sell tickets for enjoying firework on boat. However, they have to commit on the safety, service quality and the ticket price can not exceed 200,000 VND/person/night. . Residents and visitors who have no conditions to buy tickets to the stages or to boats can enjoy the fireworks display on the Bach Dang street, Tran Hung Dao Street, the Han River, Thuan Phuoc bridge …

In the scope of contest, the city will also host many ancillary activities such as Displaying firework on computer, Music program before the contest performed by Trung Vuong Theatre, Art programs on the main stage by Lam Son Company (Hanoi). Many other supporting activities will be held such as the flower boat parade, displaying flower galands and coloured lantern on Han River, Non Nuoc Carved Stone Exhibition, the Third Beautiful Photoes of Firework Exhibition, Grilled Food Exchange Festival, Performance and organization of sports activities, music, fashion, Light decoration Art at My Khe beach…

In recent years, each contest, each show has brought many different impressions. The participating teams have studied much about the culture and history of Vietnam and Da Nang to build the impressive performance. For example, the performance by the Portuguese team with the theme “Dragon and fire – the birth place of legendary” takes viewers back to a time when the legends about dragons and fairy appeared. The touching love story of the fairy Au Co traveling down and trapped on the earth, tears of the fairy flowing into the Han River is displayed by the brilliant colorful light of firework by the French team. Similarly, the famous love story of Luong Son Ba – Chuc Anh Dai by Chinese team has brought real emotions in the audiences’ hearts. The characteristic sounds of the didgeridoo of the natives in Australia has brought audiences to the endless steppes of the kangaroo country, or the dazzling firework display filled with lively music of the U.S. team has demonstrated a unique culture of the country …

In the past three years, we could see the attraction of the contest as well as the warmly welcome atmosphere of the residents and international friends through the fact that all the hotels in the city were already booked, tickets for the Firework Contest Enjoying were fully reserved in the beginning of the year; the national airline of Vietnam increased tens of flights to Da Nang during this time, but all the tickets were sold out … On the nights of the performance, hundreds of thousand of residents and tourists filled the stages and all buildings and roads nearby. That is to say that Danang International Firework Contest has succeeded brilliantly bringing to Da Nang and Vietnam a unique cultural and tourism event of international stature.

To conclude, I would like to quote the saying of Mr. Tran Van Minh – Chairman of Danang People’s Committee: “ With all the special favours from the Nature and the tireless efforts of man, flowers have bloomed on this gentle and beautiful city so that Danang will always attract visitors near and far and become a beloved and missing part to those who have ever come to Da Nang. “

Our tour in two parts: firstly we take guests on a walking tour of the markets and streets meeting the producers and vendors; we then invite guests back to our private room in the Ancient Town to taste what we consider are quality examples of this food bought directly from the producers – most of whom we see or meet on the tour.
