As you know, the cuisine is an important part of a destination or a country. Traveling to Vietnam, you must do the street food tour with a local foodie tour guide. Hue Food Tour is the best tour to sample all the specialties of the ancient capital of Vietnam.
Hue was the capital city of the last dynasty in Vietnam, the Nguyen dynasty from 1802 to 1945. So that’s why the food in Hue is the best in Vietnam as it was served for the Emperors and royalties.
As you know, a long time ago, in the morning, for breakfast, the emperor had 18 dishes, for lunch 36 dishes, and for dinner, he had 18 dishes. In some important ceremonies, he had 54 dishes. So what makes you hesitate not to book our Hue Food Tour- Hue Street Food Tour?
HUE STREET FOOD TOUR ITINERARY
At 5:30 pm, our local food expert will pick you up at your hotel in Hue and start the Hue street food tour. The first place is a local family house where we can taste and learn about the ingredients of the 3 famous cakes such as Banh Beo, Banh Nam, and Banh Loc.
Unlike fancy restaurants, they buy tons of ingredients and put them in frozen fridges. The family business means they go to the markets every morning to buy fresh stuff to cook for the family.
In our Hue Food Tour, the local guide will give you detailed information about the dishes, how to cook them, and the proper ways to enjoy them as well.
After that, we go to a second place to enjoy Bun Hen (Baby basket clams noodle) – the mixed noodle with small mussels. We will go to the second floor of the family house to enjoy the Bun Hen with fabulous panoramic views of Hue city and the Perfume River.
Continue the Hue street food tour, we walk to another family shop. We enjoy “Chè” – Hue sweet soup- a mixed sweet soup made with many kinds of beans, bananas, coconut meats, coconut milk, and corn.
