Bubbling cauldrons of noodle soup, flaky flatbreads, kaleidoscopic desserts — when it comes to street food, Asia delivers big on variety and flavor. This vast region sprawls across equatorial tropics and mountain ranges, volcanic islands, and frenetic megacities, so it’s no surprise that diversity abounds. Yet there are many similarities, too. With centuries of migration and trade, many recipes have traversed borders only to become a local specialty thousands of miles from their places of origin, according to CNN. Bread appeared in Vietnam about 130 years ago, when the famous French baguette was introduced to our country. However, today’s sandwich is a unique creation of Vietnamese people, according to CNN’s introduction. Currently, bread in each region is transformed into many different versions. The traditional filling usually includes pork, pickled vegetables, herbs, chili, and pate. The crust is crispy, hot, and delicious. Photo: travel ingwitharun The next Vietn

Local people line up along Thuy Khe street from early in the morning to the evening as they wait to purchase their mooncakes. Typically bakers sell two types of mooncake, including banh nuong, known as brown baked cakes, and banh deo, also known as snow skin sticky cakes. The price of mooncakes ranges from VND50,000 to VND80,000 each. According to the shop owner, the peak season for mooncakes is typically from mid-July until the end of August.

The bakery usually sells several hundreds of mooncakes each day. The post Hanoians queue for mooncakes as Mid-Autumn Festival approaches appeared first on Vietexplorer.com .
