What to eat in Hue

Hue has always attracted many visitors by its peace and beauty. This small city gives you the feeling like you are lost in an ancient land with tombs and temples. Besides the majestic architecture, Hue also offers tourists a unique culinary culture. Don’t know why the cuisine here appeals to me right at the first time. I’m sure that everyone whoever visits Hue would ‘fall in love’ with one of the food here. Below are my own feelings about the food and restaurants here.

There are numerous types of cake here such as bèo cake, steamed shrimp rice cake or tapioca pudding, etc. Bèo cake with its small shape looks like a Japanese water fern. The cake is made of rice flour with shrimps filled inside and often served with sweet sauce. Ingredients needed to make steamed shrimp rice cake are almost the same as bèo cake. The only difference is that it is wrapped in banana leaves before being steamed. Tapioca pudding is made of cassava and filled with shrimps and stew pork. You can steam it with the banana leaves or remove them before steaming. In the past, Hue’s people used to welcome guests with these 3 types of cakes. But now, they tend to invite their guests to go to the restaurants to taste these cakes.

Bun bo Hue is a really popular dish and has been known by many travelers around the world. This dish is the perfect combination of many ingredients. The smell of bun bo Hue is the mixture of bone broth, citronella, lemon, onion along with fish sauce smell. What’s special is that it is the medium restaurants that are famous for the quality. Bun restaurants on Nguyen Du streets often start selling in the evening. Sometimes you have to wait for an hour to have a chance to enjoy bun bo Hue on this street. But trust me, it’s really worth waiting. The other restaurants also famous for bun bo Hue are ‘mu Rot’ restaurant located behind Dieu De pagoda and ‘Le’restaurant on Dien Bien Phu street.

Khoái cake is among the most popular types of cakes in Hue. The cake is made of rice flour and filled with fried shrimps, meat and mushrooms. This cake is often served with banana and vegetables. It is the dipping sauce that makes Khoai cakes in one restaurant differs from the others.

If you don’t have much time to discover all of the places popular for each type of Hue cakes, you can just catch a taxi to Thao Nhi district, which is 7 kilometers away from Hue. This place offers all of the types of cakes mentioned above. Besides enjoying Hue signature dishes, tourists can also relax in ‘Nhà rường’, a type of traditional house in Hue which is sophisticatedly constructed.

Also, remember to try royal meal, an original dish, which impresses not only the locals but also foreign travelers. You will get to choose from 8 to 10 from hundreds of typical dishes in Hue. Some dishes that have to be mentioned are peacock – shaped spring rolls, phonix spring rolls and Hue cakes. Royal desserts have to be Tinh Tam lotus seed sweet soup. Royal meal represents not only the cooking talents of Hue’s people but also the art of decorating food. More interestingly, guests will get to wear the costumes of King and Queen while enjoying royal meal.

Almost all the restaurants selling banh cuon and fried meat in Hue are located on Kim Long Street. From my view, banh cuon and fried meat sold in these restaurants are all delicious and stunning. But the most famous one is the one named Huyen Anh.

Those famous water fern cake restaurants are located on Nguyen Hue streets, the recommended restaurants are ‘Ba Do’ restaurant on Nguyen Binh Khiem Street and ‘Mu Cai’ restaurant which is famous for tapioca cakes is located at the end of Chi Lang Street.

If you love sweet food, you should totally visit ‘Hem’ sweet soup restaurant on Hung Vuong Street or ‘Che Sao; on Phan Boi Chau St. Just a piece of advice, you should not visit those royal sweet soup shops since they will serve you a really big cup and the soup is too sweet.

 ‘Khoai’ cake is quite the same as ‘xeo’ cake in the South of Vietnam. However, I am in favor of the former. I am totally ‘in love’ with the dipping sauce of this type of cake. In the restaurants, they won’t charge the any money for dipping sauce and raw vegetables. The most popular restaurants for selling ‘khoai’ cakes are ‘Lac Thien’ and the one on Dinh Tien Hoang street.

Restaurants mainly selling ‘banh canh’ are located on Pham Hong Thai Street.

Mussel rice restaurants: This food is preferred by most local people. There are 2 restaurants on Han Mac Tu Street. You may also want to visit one in Con Hen, after crossing the bridge, turn left and you will find it.

Also, there is a restaurant which mainly sells ‘bun bo’(which means beef vermicelli) on Nguyen Du St. The restaurant starts selling from 3pm. Trust me, it is really popular. The beef here is so fresh and delicious that can please even the most fastidious guests. I have to remind you that ‘bun bo’ here is really spicy. Whoever comes to Hue and want to try ‘bun bo’ should not miss this restaurant.

The best mussel rice restaurants are in Han Mac Tu St, but they do not serve the dish which is made of rice paper and mussels here. So you should visit Con Hen. If you tell you taxi driver that you want to visit a good restaurant in Con Hen, they would probably take you to Huong Xua restaurant. This restaurant offers nice view but the food is not really delicious while the price is too high. You can also enjoy mussel rice on Truong Dinh St or Cung An Dinh, etc.

1. How to get there?

Currently, only two airlines that trip to Con Dao Vietnam Airlines and Air Mekong. Often the trips to transit through Ho Chi Minh City. 4th and Air Mekong 6 weekly flights from Hanoi guy to Con Dao. However, depending on the number of visitors that you may still have to transit, could very well very fast transit time, you still have to carry hand luggage off the plane, into the lounge area and then back to the correct machine that flight.

From Co Ong Airport, Con Dao is far away from the center of town about 12 km. You can take a taxi; there are always cars available at the airport. However, these hotels usually have a shuttle service at the airport. You need to make a reservation. If you could not make any promptly reservations, you can book at the hotel desk representative at the airport.

On the island there is only a single gas station, so it should be noted to the level of gasoline. Motorcycle Rental 100,000 VND/ bike.

2. Where to stay?

If you want to stay in the hotel with beach, you should select Con Dao resort on Nguyen Duc Thuan street. It is very near central and easy to find places to eat. The hotel as Saigon Con Dao Resort, ATC Resort is located on Ton Duc Thang Street with stunning sea view, clean and good service. However it does not have its own beach.

The average price of a room here at 1-1.5 million per room. Therefore, you should choose carefully when booking online, not "resort" which also features a private beach as default. If you want to recuperate the Sixpences Con Dao resort is a great choice, however, this hotel near the airport, away from the heart, not suitable for eating, entertainment. A good selection, appointment, cheap again is the small hotel; motel cost about 300,000-500,000 dong.  Fresh seafood on the island is very good. A dish not to be missed is the red grouper. It is Con Dao's specialties. Price range 800,000 700.000- / weight. Especially as the price of the restaurants here are quite similar to each other, so there is not much choice. You can also eat at Phuong Hanh, a small shop in the city, sitting under contract luxuriant trees, cool, delicious food, but it looks unprofessional by Tri Century. The seafood stalls and lots of good food, have slow cooking, serving little sloppy because few people.

There is not too much food and service in Con Dao but it is a pleasant spot to relax.

3. The historic places in Con Dao

Grave martyr Vo Thi Sau at Hang Duong cemetery is a destination that you should not miss. You can visit the cemetery at midnight because cemeteries are crowded at that time. Offerings and fruits should be prepared from home, because there is nobody selling these things there. Offering mirror is indispensable. Also, you should bring white flower. Vo Thi Sau is regarded as holy people. Many couples often come to offering flower and pray to get lucky.

You should visit Phi Yen temple.  This temple leaned against the mountain overlooking the lotus pond and large cooler. The architecture of the temples looks peaceful.

Con Dao prison: There are 19 relics which are divided into two periods, the prison during the French and American. The French prison time: Phu Son, Phu Hai in right in the center so very convenient to visit. Barn area, tiger cages are hell on earth. Barn area now remains classified tunnel, where the enemy is full of urine fall, soaking prisoners arrested chest.

On the main island, you must visit Dam Trau beach. Mountain embraces the beach in an arc so it is such a very calm beach with white smooth sand. Especially, the beaches on the island are a combination of green mountains in the distance, combined with white sand beaches and undulating stone.

A small family of four is carpeting, displays of food and drink at the seaside. The husband asked me to click a few shots when I pass by. He and his wife from Australia about, this beach for 15 year wedding anniversary and see two children are the result of love here.

From sandy beaches overlooking the vast sky and sea. At the foot of the rapids, "fireworks" are firing up endless sea. It is a burst of waves hitting the rocks, high up white foam. The stones put them up together, just protruding solid medium. And yet strangely, from barren and those who suddenly reached out a few bunches of wildflowers. A multi metaphorical meaning of life?

I swooping into the youth group is preparing lunch, ask where you were going to play. One girl said the articulate spiritual "some place new galaxies". Time has the stomach lining.

Asian Me is not only scenic but also a place where many enjoy fresh seafood dishes. Furthermore, the bartender is the pure-minded farmers; they are not available player "razor" under the share charge, only moderate to earn some profit child to school. So prices should gently diners do not feel "heartbeat shaky legs" while holding payment slip.

Sitting under the shade of the positive plate of boiled crab with salt pepper lemon, sipping beer with some extremely interesting. Steamed shrimp and sweet ginger sauce put all criticism. Real estate acrid smoke, smell fragrant chilli, wears jewelry that sniffed. This dish suitable for ladies for more food, and her cheeks as rosy.

If European visitors to reach Me in the morning will feel half full of great fresh seafood dozens. After several hours of dip nets into the sea, the boat returned, each with dozens of shrimp fishing sign. Visitors can swim pants rolled out sailing close friend, take the fish eye holes, cobia, silver fish cheeks, grouper, cuttlefish ... net fresh, and shining silver.

You can buy the boat seafood at affordable prices and portable bar straight up through their entire favorite recipe. They will be happy to help you. Only once was there even delicious seafood dinner to enjoy the early summer until late fall that has not expired ... stupor.

Saturday, Sunday, Chau Me beaches bustling with dozens of visitors to the weekend break. Outside rocking waves. Under the original positive, also swinging hammock wings.

Quite a lot of young people say this place is a space of love. They seem more lyrical increase carrying a guitar every time to these romantic waters. At noon, the shadow of the cool monsoon winds are positive, uplifting guitar sound will grace your excitement among the small countries in Chau Me.
