1. Cao Lau
 
Although this is just a bowl of rice noodle, it is said that no trip to Hoi An is complete without enjoying Cao Lau. The dish is made with pork, noodles, and a lot of vegetables and herbs, which wonderfully enhance its unique flavor. Believe it or not, the chefs must take water from an ancient well, namely Ba Le, to make the broth. So, enjoying this dish is definitely worth a try.

It is mainly mixed with pork, shrimp, and vegetables, as well as topped with prawn crackers, peanuts and spices. However, the dish has recently become diversified with more variations of toppings, such as fish, squid, chicken, snails, etc. Unlike other noodle soups, Quang Noodle is served with a little bit of broth.

4. Black Sesame Sweet Soup (Chè Mè Đen)

Made from black sesame, pennywort, and sugar, it is not only exotic, but also just like a magical medicine. Though you may not be attracted by its weird color – black – from the first sight, this black sesame is warm, smooth, and nutty that is totally different from its look.
