Vietnam food is delicious. Your kids will love it! Vietnamese dishes are usually made with fresh vegetables, protein (beef, pork, chicken, fish or seafood) and flavored with fish sauce, soy sauce, and herbs such as basil and lemongrass. Rice is commonly served and noodle dishes are very popular.
Chopsticks are used to eat most dishes in Vietnam. If your kids aren’t used to using them then pick up some at the dollar store with a bag of candy (mine liked practicing with gummy worms). The kids will have fun practicing in preparation for your trip. Don’t worry if the kids don’t master it as restaurants will always have Chinese style soup spoons available.
Due to the French influence you will find delicious fresh baguettes and pastries available. Vietnam is also known for its delicious fresh fruit ice cream. Great for a tasty treat!
