The scale of the Hue Festival also suggested to me that its people were capable of organising world class events. And, of course, the food was delicious. Because I was busy making photographs, I only managed to eat at roadside stalls, and yet, the food often tasted like fine dining. Though I thoroughly loved the festival, I’d like a chance to encounter the cultural events close-up, i.e. instead of just having big shows, I’d like to experience more intimate performances and workshops on the various art forms.

Here are some photos I captured during Hue Festival. Hope Maze Vietnam readers enjoy!

But the beauty of Hue and the friendliness of its people showed me a very different side of Vietnam.

The post Festival Hue Through The Lens of a Singaporean Photographer appeared first on Maze Vietnam.

This year, the city makes a wholly refreshing comeback with another annual 2-year event – Hue Festival 2018.

Disregarding the different expressions in forms of entertainment used to celebrate, the meaning of such profound event as Hue Festival 2018 is to honor the one-and-only, the rich and the delicate culture foundation of the city in particular and the whole country in general.

There is nothing much to be found in the deep down history of the Festival itself apart from what has just been told above. However, it is recorded until now by the official festival’s site that the original former of Festival Hue was known as Festival Vietnam-France, which was first held in 1992 by Hue city and Codev Viet Phap in Thua Thien Hue Province. Succeeding the unexpected success of the 1992 Viet-France Festival, the official Festival Hue was passed in October 1998 with the corporation between Thua Thien Hue and French Embassy in Vietnam. Later on, the festival was then held for the first time in 2000 under the name ‘Festival Hue’ as you may hear until now.

Been through exactly 18 years of growth, maturity and earning credit, Festival Hue 2018 still keeps and treasures perfectly the core value of what the original festival might aim at – culture and heritage. Through years and years, people have waited, have expected and have hoped for a new coming of the festival, and they have also kept in mind a question: “Will this time be different from the formers?” The answer is easy: Yes and no. From the view of the form of entertainment or closer to the shows delivered, it is easily seen that Festival Hue is upgraded and refurbished from years to years.

The only thing that stays unchanged is the message brought and delivered: The exploration of the past and the worshiping of culture. With the main theme “Cultural Heritage with Integration and Development, Hue – one destinations, five world heritages”, the festival has succeeded in the very first stage of showing the world “who we are”, “what we do” and “what this is about”.

From 27^th April to 2^nd May 2018, the festival was held as either a national or an international event. This tenth event is the profound inheritance of what has been done and what has been successful through the last 9 seasons of the festival. Not only does Hue Festival is the combination of both old and new, it is also a meaningful playground, “the intersection” of many cultures around the world, disregard of conceptions, religious systems and the expressions of art. Not stopping there, this is of course, also the showcase of Vietnamese culture in general and Hue’s characteristics in particular to the world and by far enthuses the development of tourism and international integration of the country.

This is also a very precious event for whoever craves in exploring the deep culture of Vietnam and Hue City. In the show, you will once again experience and encounter numerous events of the past accompanied the city in its history and growth. In those, you may find the interest in the 50^th Anniversary of Mau Than Spring Rebel (1968), 230^th Anniversary of Nguyen Hue’s Enthronement at Ban Mountain (1788), 25 years from 1993 when Hue Citadel Complex was first recognized as the world’s cultural heritage by the UNESCO, and so on. The festival was held all day long for the total 7 days and was divided to many different stages, at which you might find yourself a great show to enjoy or just simply harmonized with the profound atmosphere and sensation of the city and what the festival might bring. Usually, between each show is an interval of 30 minutes to an hour. Therefore, you can make use of this spare time to wander around and enjoy the spectacular forms of heritage, both material and immaterial that you can find during the whole show in the whole week. The Festival Hue 2018 might have ended but 2020 may promise a greater and better show for you to once again sink yourself in “the intersection of culture”.

Ru Cha Mangrove Forest

You are going to explore the uncanny Ru Cha in either a boat or a fishing ship. Throughout the excursion, there will be splendid views and a plethora of birds such as bitterns, herons, storks, owls,... Deep inside Ru Cha is a ferro-cement ship which is the shrine of the Sea God. Local fishermen go here before every long trip to the sea to pray for good luck and calm water.

Tam Giang-Cau Hai Lagoon

If you are going to Ru Cha, then you will have to also pay Tam Giang-Cau Hai Lagoon a visit: it is right nearby. With an area of 52km2, Tam Giang-Cau Hai is the largest lagoon in South East Asia. From here, you can take a ferry to get to Thai Duong Ha which is one of the oldest fishing villages in Vietnam, thus, rich in culture. Or you can travel to the end of Tam Giang and reach Thuan An town, famous for its range of seafood, from crabs, crawfish to squids, snails, all cheap, fresh, and delicious.   

Canh Duong Beach Camp

Exactly what the title says, it is a campsite along the beautiful beach of Canh Duong. Well preserved and not exposed to much human interference, Canh Duong hides its charm in the white, soft sand strip and clear, calm sea.  If you fancy a bit of exploration of the vast and mysterious ocean or simply want to have quality bonding time, drop by. A tent for two is rented for 100.000vnd/night, reasonable enough if you ask me.

Bach Ma National Park

40km from Hue capital lies a heaven on earth, ideal for trekking with 2147 types of plants,1493 types of animals, dense forests, and magnificent waterfalls. Not to mention from the pinnacle of Bach Ma, 1500m high, you’ll have the access to a complete view of Hue, misty and breathtaking. Bach Ma really is giving us a peak of the majesty of nature, so you cannot miss setting foot here when in Hue; it’s just not natural.

Chuon Lagoon

Nothing less than gorgeous is suited to describe Chuon Lagoon at sunsets. The view is grand yet the sense of serenity is always palpable in the air. Having a seafood feast while watching the transition of nature in the afternoon at Chuon Lagoon sure is an experience to remember.

Lap An Lagoon

Similar to Chuon Lagoon, there are few sights that can beat those at Lap An Lagoon when the sun sets or rises. What’s special about Lap An is its reputation for sea cucumbers, a type of echinoderms like starfish and sea urchins that are rich in protein and extremely good for health. If you want to finally see sea cucumbers with your own eyes all the while grasping the splendor of nature, look no further.

Truc Lam Bach Ma Zen Monastery

40km South to the center of Hue, you will find Truc Lam Bach Ma Monastery protruding beyond a peaceful Truoi Lake in the expanse of ranges of mountains. Whether you have a heart for religions or not, a trip here is always worth it thanks to its ethereal surroundings.

Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village

Paper Flower has existed for more than 300 years in Vietnamese history of occupations, and Thanh Tien is the most famous trade village around. Here, you are in for a feast of handcrafted flowers, mostly lotuses, in a multitude of vibrant colors. You can even make some yourself under the guidance of the local artisans if you feel up to it.

An Hien Garden House

Originally the capital of a Nguyen Dynasty’s Princess in the 19th century, An Hien is the embodiment of architecture then. It is a perfect blend of humans and nature with sophisticated carved works and ancient trees. Besides the architectural values, An Hien is also home to an extensive collection of exotic fruits and flowers across Vietnam such as durians, jackfruits, mangosteens, pomelos,...

Adress: 58 Nguyễn Phúc Nguyên, Hương Long.

Vong Canh Hill

We will end this incredible list with Vong Canh Hill, standing on the top of which you will be able to view the whole cityscape. Huong river, Imperial tombs, Hon Chen temple all fit into one large scenic frame, and the sight is to die for.

The post 10 Stunning Secret Hue Places Most Tourists Don’t Know About appeared first on Maze Vietnam.

The Bus Cafe is located on the shores of Thuận An beach, which is only a thirty-minute motorbike ride from the central Huế, and faster by car. Like most others, the cafe has a quite large menu to offer, but it is not the quality of the drinks that sets this place apart, it is actually the unique space in which they are served.

The name ‘Bus Cafe’ derives from the fact that buses play a key role in the cafe’s aesthetics: everything from the ordering counter to tables and chairs is made from parts of a bus! The vehicles there were once disused and (maybe) a little disgusted, but now, after some extensive refurbishment, they not only managed to outlast their usefulness as a means of transport, but also prove a hit with younger customers. In fact, such is the atmosphere which the ornamental buses and the cafe as a whole have managed to generate that many people actually choose to camp there just to extend their experience, and before you know it, a tent-renting service has been born, so now everyone can spend the night in this rather peculiar surrounding.

What’s more, the cafe claims to have the best views of all cafes in Huế, and while that may sound a little presumptuous, it is really not. Why? Simple: it is placed directly the n hot sand and not very far from the water, so you can enjoy drinking and at the same time take in the expansive view of the sea (or even swim in). After all, who doesn’t want to sip some coffee on a comfortable bus seat while leaning against its bonnet and marvelling at the colors of dawn right by the seaside.

Many tourists I met before often think of Huế as a solemn and old place, mainly because of the impression they get from seeing the great Imperial City. The truth is, however, that Huế is changing everyday, and with new ingenuous minds emerging from the young generation comes innovative ideas that put a new image on this ancient city. The Bus Cafe is more or less representative of this trend, so on your next trip to Huế, stop by, have a drink, and see how the city is renewing.

The post Awesome Vintage Bus Converted Into A Beautiful Cafe appeared first on Maze Vietnam.

In 2017, Hue Festival with the main theme ““Quintessence of Vietnamese Craft” – “Tinh hoa nghề Việt” took place in Hue City, Thua Thien Hue Province from April 28 to May 2.

More than 300 artisans on behalf of all famous craft villages throughout Vietnam participated in the festival,  introducing their embroidery painting, pottery, fine arts carpentry, conical leaf hat-making, along with other long-standing traditional crafts and high-quality products. This traditional craft festival attracted a large number of Vietnamese people and tourists all over the world to visit. It was also an opportunity for people to learn about Vietnam’s culture, and an incentive for the development of the economy, tourism and services of Thua Thien Hue province and its neighboring provinces.

Bao Ton, one of Maze Vietnam’s photographers born and raised in Hue, was eager to attend the event. Here are the photos he took during the festival to help us see what this Festival was like.

The post Hue Festival 2017 – Traditional Craft Festival appeared first on Maze Vietnam.

I once came to Huế as of my admiration for a long-existing city with a rich culture influenced by both the French and Eastern architectures. Before departing, I had actually received a “friendly warning” from a friend of mine living in Huế: “Don’t go or you will be bored to death”. At first, I thought she was just kidding but then I finally realized that it was actually a bit boring as I am kind of an extroverted party goer. The pace of life seemed extremely slow and peaceful as if there would be no crimes or fights. Huế’s life is as semplice and unobtrusive as its culture and people. As a small city with not so many citizens, Huế brings home to mind. I remembered going out on the street at rush hour with a friend who lives in Huế and it seemed like “rush hour” is not a good term to describe such a place like Huế. Mostly in the evening, people like to walk on Trường Tiền Bridge to enjoy the peaceful night on the beautiful Hương River, which literally means “River of Perfume”. Tourists normally take a cyclo around the city to a small China Town, Áo Dài Street and night market.

I reckon that it seems like this city is almost sleeping at 9 pm or maybe 10 pm. However, under Tràng Tiền Bridge or on the night street, there are gonna be lots of people still enjoying their supper. And if you are a “speed lover”, you will be driven crazy because some restaurants’ services are slow to death!

But after all, Huế is still a special city carrying a dignified atmosphere throughout hundreds of years. And I highly recommend it to those who love something “off the beaten track” with no bars, pubs or anything common for a lousy night.

All the photos below are taken by one of Maze Vietnam’s contributor recently living in Hue. She took her camera out and captured all the moments of the pace of life in Hue on a rainy day. All the friendly Hue people are still calm and moving slowly no matter how heavy the rain could be.

It was built in 1804 and took 30 years to be completed. It underwent many years within protection. The restoration for Hue citadel holds the shape itself as it is nowadays.

Ngo Mon is the main entrance to the south, the biggest among 4 gates of The Imperial City.

The Imperial Citadel is also a park for Hue people as lots of locals visit this place to go for a walk or go cycling.
On some special occasions,  the Imperial Citadel becomes a destination for Vietnamese people to join the national and regional festivals.

Specialties

Coming to Huế, specialties are definitely something that you cannot skip out on your way to explore the attempting cuisine of a new land.

Beef Noodle (Bún Bò)
Beef Noodle, one of the most genuine and typical specialties of Huế, is so widely known that we, both the gastronome and the glutton, would like to call it sincerely with the local name “Bún bò Huế” (Huế Beef Noodle) to refer to the region where it originally comes from. Not as simple as it looks, behind each delicious bowl of beef noodle is hidden the secret recipe through the hands of the tremendously talented cooks who make the dish with their passion and love for traditional cuisine. The ingredients, of course, cannot miss the scrumptious cow’s muscles with hard-boiled pig’s feet and the typical light red consommé adding up to the dish’s attractiveness and temptation. Although the dish itself has already been quite completed, it is easy to be mixed with other ingredients and entremets such as fennel spicing up the smell, shrimp paste strengthening the flavour and chilli powder for “an explosion” of taste and deliciousness. Beef Noodle can be eaten mostly as breakfast, lunch and is especially suitable as “a stomach-warmer” in the winter during cold days. For its long existence and being in favour of many people, hundreds of restaurants have been born to fulfill the love for beef noodle of their customers. However, these few are the most popular for their distinctive charisma and the most delicious Huế Beef Noodle.

Mussel Rice (Cơm Hến)
Another dish that I am sure you would love to try is Mussel Rice (Cơm Hến), the most familiar and delectable dish in the varied menu of Huế’s cuisine. Mussel Rice is also a simple yet appetizing dish of Vietnam’s middle area that is adored by almost everyone and favorably selected as one of their daily main courses. The main ingredient is of course mussels! If not, the dish would not even be named mussel rice. However, not stopping at one ingredient, the cooks still ambitiously want to complete the dish by other kinds of spices and entremets with the most important criteria: cheap but delicious and nutritious. Therefore, roasted groundnut and pig’s skin have been added to stimulate the cereal and meat-sweet smell and flavour as well as creating the perfect combination between the sweet, softness of rice and the crispy, nutty flavour of groundnut and roasted pig’s skin. In addition, the dish is also quite easy to be mixed with other kinds of vegetable such as sour starfruit, Indian taro, dried scallion and banana flower. Believe it or not, you will never forget its unique flavour once you have tried it.

The best address to try a genuine bowl of mussel rice is probably in Mussel Hillock Village (Làng Cồn Hến) though there are many other places that also offer very delicious dishes.

Rice Spaghetti Soup (Bánh Canh)
This may be one of the new dishes that you would love to try right after arriving at Huế. At the first glance, you may get the impression that there is absolutely nothing different about this dish compared to others: still rice noodle, some meat, some vegetable and regular consommé. However, hold on until you actually taste it because it can easily turn you into a “rice spaghetti lover” at the very first bite. What I love about rice spaghetti is that the dish actually brings you a lot of feelings and sensation for food. It is truly the art of the cooks to create such delicious and yummy bowl of rice spaghetti soup from the cheapest and most common ingredients that you can easily get from any market. Rice spaghetti soup can be made from different kinds of rice depending on the choice of the eaters and there are also many famous kinds of rice spaghetti all around Huế City. However, these few have become some sort of “legend” with the longest time of making the dish as well as the most delicious and distinctive rice spaghetti soup.

Nam Phổ Rice Spaghetti (Bánh Canh Nam Phổ), originated from Nam Phổ Village, has soon become the most famous kind in the country for its unique and absolutely irresistible flavour. Since the time when we were still small kids, Nam Phổ Rice Spaghetti has been the favourite dish of a lot of people in Huế City. Back then, because our parents were still living in poverty, no restaurant could they build to sell rice spaghetti. Therefore, young sisters, mothers and even very old grandmas living in Nam Phổ decided to carry their bamboo frames and went all around the city to sell rice spaghetti. When there was no food and people had to live in shortage, a bowl of rice spaghetti, though cheap, was enough to warm up someone’s heart.

Snakehead Fish Rice Spaghetti (Bánh Canh Cá Lóc): Although its name is quite creepy with the “snakehead” thing, the dish is totally in opposite: delicious, addictive and absolutely mouth-watering. In fact, Snakehead Fish Rice Spaghetti is one of the most favourable dishes of Huế’s people. What makes the dish more attractive than others is the simmered fish meat that is extremely juicy and savoury. The left fish consommé will keep being boiled with bones to make the finishing bouillon used for the dish. Quail eggs and pork pies can also be used along with the dish. Once you have started, believe me, you will not want to stop.

Mrs. Đợi Rice Spaghetti is also a long-time dish, about 30 years old as I recall. The name of the dish was taken after the name of Mrs. Đợi, who makes it. The fact that Mrs. Đợi Rice Spaghetti Soup can be so popular despite being cheap and simply made in a small food stall is because of its distinctive appearance and making process. What you will get at first is just a bowl of rice spaghetti with some kind of opaque consommé, a few shrimps, meat balls and some spices. However, what interests me is how you, not the cook, will make your own bowl of rice spaghetti with the spices and ingredients given. There will be quail eggs, scallion, spice, chilli oil and so on. Then you can mix the ingredients together and season your dish just the way you like. In the end, I am sure you will be surprised with what you have made and I believe it is always better when you can make your own dish, especially when it is totally something new.

Nhật Lệ Sticky Rice Cake (Bánh Chưng Nhật Lệ)
Sticky Rice Cake has soon been a familiar food to anyone interested in Vietnamese cuisine. Although, for some people, Nhật Lệ Sticky Rice Cake still sounds quite new and unfamiliar, it has actually reached its own popularity to other countries and is in favour of people living far away from their beloved country Vietnam, especially in Lunar New Year. In Vietnam, it is quite rare that there is a person who has never once heard of Nhật Lệ Sticky Rice Cake.  The wonderful woman who has made Nhật Lệ Sticky Rice Cake for nearly all her life (she is now about 80 years old), the mother of Nhật Lệ is no one else but “white-haired mother” or also known as Mrs. Bê. Behind each delicious sticky rice cake delivered to the hands of the customers are the masterpiece of seasoning and the perfection as well as the carefulness in ingredient choosing. The rice must be rich and sticky and pork must be juicy; how much rice, how much meat or even how many leaves used for wrapping are restrictively checked. This is why Nhật Lệ Sticky Rice Cake has been easily loved and adored by so many people for its absolutely delicious flavour and being appetizingly prepared.

Address: #117 Nhật Lệ Street, Huế City, Thừa Thiên Huế Province
Opening hours: 8:00am – 9:00pm

Nậm Lọc Steamed Savoury Rice Cake (Bánh Bèo Nậm Lọc)
Nậm Lọc Steamed Savoury Rice Cake is probably the most interesting dish at the decline of day. Nậm Lọc is served in small plates that create an appetizingly elegant preparation and appearance. This is also a really great idea because you can actually eat more when eating little by little in small dishes. However, the purpose of the cook when preparing in small dishes is to let the customers slowly sense the sweet smell of bullion and the softness, stickiness of the steamed savoury rice cake. The dish is made of steamed rice powder with ground shrimp powder scattered on top and is eaten with sweet fish sauce. The flavour, just like its name, is savoury yet very balanced so that you can eat until you are fed up with it. I still remembered eating more than 10 small dishes of steamed savoury rice cake and I still wanted more! So take your chance when you come to Huế and eat as much as you can or else you will regret it.

Grilled-Meat Steamed Thin Rice Pancake (Bánh Ướt Thịt Nướng)
If you have once tried Rolled Phở in Hanoi (Phở Cuốn Hà Nội) then you will be quite familiar to this dish. The steamed thin rice pancake is actually made of rice powder steamed into thin layers of phở then they are rolled up outside of grilled-meat to make the finishing dish. The difference is instead of using stir fired beef as the stuffing, the cooks have intentionally and cleverly used pork grilled on hot coal to stimulate the sweet-smelling as well as adding up to the juicy flavour of the pork. The stuffing though simple with grilled pork and salad but when being combined with the sweet fish sauce of vinegary turnip, carrot and a little bit the chilli, the flavour is absolutely and undeniably irresistible. Remember that I have already warned you. Therefore, be careful if you do not want to be a “grilled-meat steamed thin rice pancake worshipper”.

Grilled-Meat Noodle (Bún Thịt Nướng)
Mentioning of noodle, I can ensure that even if you are a foodaholic or not, Grilled-Meat Noodle will never let you down. Formed and born from the love for traditional cuisine, Grilled-Meat Noodle bears the soul and the taste of its own land-mother. From the making process to the seasoning, it is the elegance to the perfection: chopped lemongrass stimulating the taste, delicious roasted sesame rousing the sense of smell and sweet fish sauce savours the flavour. The special thing about the dish is the meat grilled on hot coal, lean and greasy that you can hardly deny the attempting calling of it. The sauce is also very carefully and advancedly made with goose liver, grinded nuts, fish sauce and pepper. This is such a wonderful combination of flavour that I bet you can only like but cannot hate.

Mixed Girdle Cake and Omelet Girdle Cake
Girdle Cake is one of the most favourite snacks of Huế’s teen. The simply crunchy cake’s layer is enough to make you feel excited. The ingredients are also very simple with steamed flour rolled into thin layers with omelet (for omelet girdle cake), pate, dried beef and meat covering on top. Mixed Gridle Cake is more like a kind of noodle with delicious dried beef, quail eggs and vegetable.

Plain Rice Flan (Bánh Khoái)
If you have once tried Bánh Tôm Hồ Tây then Plain Rice Flan, also known as Bánh Khoái, gives you the same impression. The flour is deep fired and stuffed with shrimps, meat and vegetable looking very attempting and mouth-watering. The appetizing yellow color of the crisp cover is just the special thing of the rice flan.

Fried Rice Cake (Bánh Lọc Chiên)
Honestly, I must say, Fried Rice Cake is one of the most interesting kinds of cakes that I have ever known. It is simply fried rice powder that you want to eat when getting bored but how amazing the cooking technique is that the cake is crispy on the outside but still soft and sticky on the inside.

Asian Fried Sweet Sesame Donut (Bánh Tiêu), Pateso (Bánh Batiso), Dumpling (Bánh Bao), and Fried Banana Cake (Bánh Chuối)
These kinds of cakes are generally Huế’s fried cakes that are loved by many people. Everyday, some cake stalls will wander around the city to wait for you to order one of their delicious cakes. Asian Fried Sweet Sesame is soft and saccharine; pateso is crispy with hundreds of fried cake layers; dumpling is either steamed or fried and banana cake is just that sweet and yummy.

Green Pea Cake
If this is the first time you have heard of Huế’s Green Pea Cake then you should be prepared to try it now. It is also very widely known as the “Noble Cake” used in the Lunar New Year in Huế. Generally, Green Pea Cake is a very wonderful kind of cakes with a variety of shapes and sizes made similarly to the forms of fruits such as strawberry, mango, grape and so on. It is also very popular in Huế, especially to children for its eye-catching appearance.

Grilled Corn and Steamed Cassava with Scraped Coconut (Bắp Nướng và Sắn Hấp Dừa)
These are quite common foods of Huế that are absolutely enjoyed by all people from the well-to-do families to the normal ones. Eating corns and cassavas has somehow become a kind of custom of Vietnamese people since war time when there was no food and rice at all. Until now, they are still very in favour of most people, especially in winter as effective “cold cures”.

Grilled Fermented Pork Roll (Nem Lụi)
In my opinion, Nem Lụi is something that you absolutely cannot reject. It is so good, so delicious and addictive that every teenager can hardly say “no” when someone asks them out for some nem lụi. Eating nem lụi with a hot chilli sauce is the best thing you can ever experience. I think I will stick around to my nem lụi dish the whole day long and not even bother to leave!

Other delicious dishes

Beside the delicious specialties, other dishes are some kinds of Huế’s unique features that draw the attention of the most picky gastronome with the most regular and common dishes.

Saffron Noodle (Bún Nghệ)
Although the ingredients are of certain simplicity and the dish is not quite of a high-class food, it is still extremely in favour of many cuisine lovers, especially young girls and women for its useful effect of health and skin-beautifying. The dish has this very eye-catching yellow color of noodle stir fried with saffron and chicken’s parts. Vegetable such as coriander is also used to add up to the flavour.

Fish Sauce Noodle (Bún Mắm Nêm)
Just hearing its name only is enough to make you hungry. Especially for some people, Fish Sauce Noodle is just like a childhood treat that they would love to enjoy with their friends after school. The first impression that you get with the noodle is distinctive. Indeed, this is a very special yet common dish that you would love to try once. Fish sauce noodle is a combination of pork pies, vegetable and of course, fish sauce-the ingredient that makes the name of the dish.

Sticky Rice (Xôi)
If you have been familiar with traveling around Vietnam, then sticky rice is maybe a common dish with a cheap price that everyone can easily afford. Sticky rice is just the dish for anyone, as long as you are hungry or simply having not figured out what to eat for breakfast, sticky rice may be a wise choice for a nutritious and cheap one. The special thing about Huế’s sticky rice is that there are hundreds of flavours and kinds that believe me, you should think beforehand on the way to the stall or else you will not even know what you will choose when you arrive there since every flavour has its own deliciousness. Pandanus, black bean, red bean or peanut sticky rice is people’s regular choice. However, there are also more expensive sticky rice dishes such as chicken sticky rice and pork pies sticky rice in more high-class restaurants.

Vegetarian Food

It has been a long time ago when there is a custom of the East that people have to eat vegetarian food on some special occasions, especially those who follow Buddhism. However, nowadays, people still enjoy eating vegetarian food, even as their main course of the day. What makes the art of vegeterian food is that you do have the feeling of eating some kinds of meat while in fact, you are not eating meat at all! That is also the reason why so many people enjoy eating vegetarian food that much.

Desserts and Drinks

I am sure your meal cannot be completed without delicious and yummy desserts and drinks. Although Huế is not so famous for its drinks and café, there are still many interesting places as well as palatable desserts that you can enjoy.

Alleyway and Imperial Sweetened Porridges (Chè Hẻm và Chè Cung Đình)
No need to say, chè hẻm is such a popular dish in Huế that no one has never once heard of this legendary and savoury dish. Though no big and slashing restaurant, no shiny sign or advertisement, Chè Hẻm still has its own distinctive feature to be distinguished with the common term “chè Huế”.  If you are finding a suitable and delicious dessert for your meal, chè hẻm is definitely what will make you fall in love by its sweetness.

Address: #1, Alleyway 29, Hùng Vương Street, Phú Nhuận Ward, Huế City, Thừa Thiên Huế Province
Opening hours: 8:00am – 9:00pm

While Chè Hẻm is a common and very cheap dessert, Chè Cung Đình sounds kind of more “noble” and expensive. However, it is just a normal dessert that you can eat whenever you can and get from everywhere around Huế City.

Hostel

Hostel, in my opinion, has gradually become a hot trend of accommodation in Huế or correctly speaking: “Homestay”. Starting from the 30s, the hostel has created and marked its own name in the market full of competitive and potential opponents, also known as “hotels” and “resorts”. Just because of its outstandingly unique and special features that you will start wondering: what exactly is “hostel”? Simply, it is where you can lay down your back on the couch, enjoy the summer sound from a tacky radio in a plain bar and rest your feet in an old building with bamboo blinds, flaking off blue paint and a few purple flower trellis hung on the balconies in the middle of a crowded street with your dearly old pals. Hostel is a place, as many foreign friends would like to call, “home”. So if you are a backpacker, a hostel is definitely your stop after all the hardships along the way to conquer those beauties.
