Get ready for a MASSIVE Hue food explosion! We're about to stuff our faces with the craziest, most awesome food in Hue, Vietnam.

First stop? The INSANE Dong Ba Market, but not before I snagged a quick peek of the super cool Imperial City! At the market, I dove into a giant bowl of Bun Bo Hue - spicy beef noodle soup that's basically the king of Hue food!

Next, I hit up Mệ Bừ for sizzling Nem Lui (think like fancy kebabs) and Bun Mam Nem (pork noodles doused in a stinky fermented fish sauce that might sound weird but trust me, it's AMAZING) - In my opinion an iconic Vietnamese dish!

Day one ends with a sugary reward at Che Hem, a local spot famous for their crazy colourful and delicious che (sweet dessert soup).

The next day, I scarfed down the iconic Com Hen(rice with tiny clams)and Bun Hen(vermicelli with tiny clams) at Cơm hến Hoa Đông. Then, I head to QUÁN ĂN AN TÂM for a fit-for-a-king feast - dishes that the Hue emperors themselves used to eat!

Finally, before I left Hue to get back to Da Nang, I HAD to try the city's signature drink Cà phê muối(salty coffee!) I visited the original Cà phê muối for a sip of this one-of-a-kind beverage.

If you're down for an epic Hue food trip, come along for the ride! Tell me what Hue dish YOU're dying to try in the comments, and smash that like and subscribe button for more Vietnamese food adventures

    What a food tour! I will gobble up everything that you have ordered but the lemongrass skewers and the crispy cakes and dumplings at the very last restaurant had me really drooling all over my cp😂😂😂 Vietnamese Coffee is really delish but never have I seen a salted one in the neck of my woods. Thank you, Geoff!

    The banh cuon you ate is a variety ( meat and vegetables as filling ) . The classic banh cuons are filled with chopped meat and minced black mushrooms , a little pepper added for spiciness . They are eaten with bean sprouts . Classic banh cuons are sold widely in Hanoi but you can find them in Saigon and other cities .
  • Dammit - I missed the premiere - I was out getting a pedicure. Lol! Great video!! You can actually do very nice SCENERY stuff! I didn't know you had it in you! That little cheeky dab of ems at 1:26 is so well timed to the music! Well done!
  • @jportega9404
    At almost 37 minutes long you know its got tons of good stuff in it!
  • @OMoonOHue
    You said about the name "young banana". Well, it's not "young banana". That's exactly "fig". At Hue, "Fig" is a special vegie at here. And we have "Fig salad" is a special dish with Shrimp, Pork and yes - Fig inside. We eat fig salad with grilled rice paper.

    It's interesting what people in Hue call banh uot. My understanding of banh uot is that it isn't filled, but is topped with meats and veggies. Banh cuon, on the other hand is filled with stuff then rolled. So you might wanna beware of that when you're in different parts of Vietnam. If you enjoyed what they called banh uot there, look for pho cuon in Hanoi (it's the same steamed rice paper rolled up with pho ingredients like beef). But definitely try banh cuon in Hanoi as well...make sure you get the ones with all the fixings such as cinnamon sausage on the side.
