Hoi An is touristy but also home to incredible local traditional Vietnamese food. It can be difficult to find with so many tourist restaurants so I went on a free walking tour with Minh from Guru Walk (https://bit.ly/guruwalks). This tour is perfect for foodies who want to explore the local food scene and try some of the best dishes Vietnam has to offer.
Our first stop is Bánh Mì 304, a favorite shop for Banh Mi that supplies most of the city with their bread. Unlike the famous Anthony Bourdain Banh Mi shop, there’s no line, and it’s considered better by locals.
We then move on to Thịt Nướng Cô Lợi Hội An, a street food vendor in the middle of the tourist area that most tourists miss. Here, we try Thịt Nướng, which is grilled meat for only 10,000 VND or $0.43 USD.
Minh also shared with us why people sit on those small short seats. It’s because street food is actually illegal in Vietnam, and they need something easy to pick up and run with if the authorities come around.
Our next stop is Mrs. Bong’s stall in Hoi An Market, where we try Bánh Đập, a crushed rice cake for only 5,000 VND or $0.21 USD.
We then move on to a famous local spot, Chí Mà Phù, for Chè Mè Đen, a sweet black sesame soup for only 10,000 VND or $0.43 USD.
We also visit the Meraki Bakery for Choux Pastry and Eclair filled with fresh passionfruit for only 7,000 VND or $0.30.
Next up is the iconic food of Hoi An, Cao Lầu. We visit Restaurant Cao Lầu Bá Lễ for a bowl of this delicious noodle dish for only 35,000 VND or $1.49.
Finally, we end our tour at La.Kao Teahouse, a modern teahouse where we try rare teas both hot and cold-brewed.
Overall, this tour was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hoi An who wants to explore the local food scene. Thank you, Minh, for an unforgettable day!
