It is better to sell snacks. But also can be improved appropriately.
Vietnamese snacks are much more famous than dinner. The most famous is "Vietnam Volume". In Kunming, Vietnamese rice rolls has always been very popular and has penetrated into people's lives, becoming one of the snacks comparable to rice noodles, rice noodles and noodles. In addition, Vietnamese snacks include chicken powder, snail powder, river powder and spring rolls.
The "Vietnamese rice rolls" introduced to China are quite different from the authentic Vietnamese rice rolls, and they are improved according to the taste of China people, so they are welcomed by China people. In contrast, the small rolls of rice noodles eaten by Vietnamese themselves taste slightly worse. Unlike China people, authentic Vietnamese rolls usually contain no stuffing. A few people with stuffing generally don't pack meat stuffing, but just put some winter vegetables such as pickles and peanuts and sesame seeds to adjust their taste. However, the biggest difference lies in the preparation of dipping water. Domestic people usually use soy sauce as the main ingredient to prepare dipping water, while Vietnamese people usually use fish sauce as the main ingredient. After dilution, add spices such as coriander and chopped pepper, and the taste is much lighter. The most special thing is that they like to add some western-style ham slices to the dip water, which seems to increase the nutrition and make up for the lack of meat in the small roll. Many snack bars make their own small rolls of powder and sell them now. Compared with unified purchase, this slightly primitive hand-made food can ensure the freshness of food. This also let me know the making process of the rolled powder, and also learned a lot.
The most famous snacks in Hanoi are all kinds of rice noodles, among which chicken powder and snail powder are the most famous. But when we were led to the narrow old street by the tour guide and tasted the authentic Hanoi rice noodles, everyone shouted and fell for it. In my opinion, the biggest reason why the rice noodles in Hanoi are rated as "unpalatable to death" by China tourists is the great difference in taste. Originally, the soup of rice noodles was very weak, and even the sour taste of rice noodles itself could be eaten. Moreover, the chicken pieces or snails added in it have no taste, and they are basically cooked in fresh water and then put in. Those snails have no attraction except adding a fishy smell to a bowl of rice noodles. In the eyes of China people, this kind of thing is of course extremely unpalatable.
On the whole, though, the Vietnamese diet doesn't suit the tastes of China people. But in Vietnam, I was deeply impressed by two delicious things.
It's also a Vietnamese hamburger. This is the name I gave to a breakfast that Vietnamese people (especially in south-central China) often eat. Because they have no special name for this kind of breakfast, they just call it "bread" in general. The word bread does not reflect the characteristics of this food. The main body of Vietnamese hamburger is French bread brought to Vietnam by the French, which is usually spindle-shaped with a crisp shell and a soft heart. Bread used to make Vietnamese hamburgers is generally 20 to 30 centimeters long. When you want to eat, cut a hole in the middle of the bread along the longitudinal direction, put in eggs, meat sauce, floss or sliced meat (there are many kinds to choose from), cut into small pieces of cucumbers, tomatoes, vegetables, etc., and add various seasonings (many I don't know). In short, about a dozen things should be added, and then the hole should be closed to make a Vietnamese hamburger. Compared with western hamburgers, the things in Vietnamese hamburgers are much more complicated and the taste is more in line with the habits of orientals. Vegetables have more content and are much less greasy. As a daily breakfast, Vietnamese hamburgers are more nutritious and healthy than western hamburgers.
Another thing is Vietnamese coffee. Under the influence of the French, Vietnamese have developed the habit of drinking coffee. Vietnamese coffee, like tea in China, is a popular national drink. Cafes are everywhere in urban and rural areas, just like teahouses in ancient China. Even in remote and backward small towns, you can easily find cafes. Cafe is an important social place for Vietnamese. Most of them are poorly decorated and simple in layout, which looks no different from snack bars. Accordingly, the price of Vietnamese coffee is extremely low, which is almost unimaginable to China people. Drinking a cup of distilled coffee made of coffee beans on the spot in a coffee shop actually costs only 35 yuan. This low price is not only absolute, but also relative. I made a rough calculation. The price of food in Vietnamese restaurants is about 1/2 to 1/3 of the domestic similar food, while the price of coffee in Vietnam is only110 to 1/20 of the domestic similar coffee, which shows the huge difference. Low price does not mean poor quality. We have had coffee in small cafes in five or six cities in Vietnam, each of which is freshly made, and the taste is definitely not inferior to that of coffee in domestic cafes for tens of dollars. If we take the common "Shangdao Coffee" in China as a reference, then about 80% of small cafes in Vietnam make better coffee than Shangdao. During that time in Vietnam, although there was nothing delicious, I could drink good coffee every day, which was very calm and comfortable. It was also a kind of compensation.
