While you can now get dishes like Bahn Mi and Pho in many big cities around the world, no Vietnamese food ever tastes as good elsewhere as it does in Vietnam. Look out for Mi Quang in Da Nang as it’s hard to find it anywhere else, and thick, tangy Cao Lau noodles in Hoi An – also a local specialty that cannot be imitated. Mi Quang, a kind of noodle soup, is so good there’s even a song about it on YouTube – the Mi Quang Song.
