Each country has its own unique food culture. The diversity and richness of Vietnam’s food culture makes me proud to be Vietnamese.
Breakfast, in particular, has become an integral part of Vietnamese life and culture. Not only does it bring physical satisfaction to a new day, but it is also deeply connected to the social life, culture, and spirit of the Vietnamese people.
Vietnamese breakfasts are varied, but this article will focus on pho, bahn mi, and coffee.
“Bain-mein.”
One of the most popular breakfast foods in Vietnam is the Vietnamese sandwich called “Bain Mie”. The báinh mì symbolizes the fusion of traditional Vietnamese and French cuisine. The zesty bread is filled with meat, pate, butter, pickles, and herbs. A quick and easy meal, the báinh mì is not only a breakfast option, but also a widely popular dietary staple for people from all walks of society.
In Japan, breakfast at home is the norm. Not many restaurants are open in the morning. If you visit Vietnam, please wake up early and enjoy the Vietnamese morning.
Pho.”
Vietnamese people have the custom of having breakfast early in the morning, and many pho and bahn mi restaurants open as early as 6 or 7 in the morning. Over a bowl of báinh mì or pho and a cold cup of tea, coffee, or iced tea, people welcome a new day with family, friends, and colleagues.
Another famous Vietnamese breakfast dish is pho, a rice noodle dish. Traditional pho is an iconic Vietnamese dish. Originating in northern Vietnam, it has spread throughout the country and around the world. Pho is known for its fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broth. There are two types of traditional pho: beef pho and chicken pho. Beef pho includes pho tai, which is raw beef served rare in a hot broth, and pho ching, which is tender shank or other meat that has been braised.
And no Vietnamese breakfast is complete without a good cup of coffee. In fact, Vietnam is one of the world’s leading producers of coffee.
Coffee.”
Vietnamese coffee in the morning not only energizes you for a new day, but also creates a peaceful and irreplaceable time with friends, family, and colleagues.
Morning coffee is available in a variety of styles, from black coffee to coffee with condensed milk, from iced to hot, allowing you to enjoy your favorite cup of coffee.
Combined with báinh mì, báinh báo, and foods from different regions, it makes an energy-rich breakfast.
In this way, the Vietnamese breakfast culture not only provides enough energy to start the day, but also creates an opportunity for people to connect with each other as a part of the Vietnamese lifestyle culture.
How was it?
We hope you will enjoy Vietnamese breakfast when you come to Vietnam.
