Hue also stores more than 1000 typical dishes of the ancient capital, including the good dishes of the Nguyen kings, from everyday dishes, folk dishes to delicious dishes. Among them can mention 10 most typical basic dishes that when coming to Hue, no one can ignore. Bun Bo Hue 
Bun Bo Hue is a famous and popular dish of many people. The first dish when coming to Hue must be the beef noodle soup. The dish carries the flavor characteristics of Hue, so this place name is attached to the dish as a proper noun of the dish itself. The main ingredients of the dish are beef, pork leg, and pig blood. Some other ingredients are rare beef, crab cakes. The dish is usually served with herbs, banana flowers, bean sprouts. The broth of beef noodle soup in Hue is often seasoned with a little fish sauce to create its own unique flavor. The broth has a characteristic red color, sweet and rich taste to the last drop. Bread flour The cake is made of tapioca starch filtered, with a filling made of shrimp that have been marinated with spices. The filling can be made with pork or both shrimp and meat. The crust is wrapped with banana leaves. 
The cake is cooked by steaming or boiling. The cake is served with dipping sauce to add more flavor. The filter cake is both tough and chewy due to the outer layer of cassava flour, and the fatty flavor of shrimp meat with the inner layer. Banh beo 
Banh beo is usually served in small bowls. Just the size of a bowl of dipping sauce. The main ingredient of banh beo is rice flour. The top is covered with a layer of onion oil and greased. The highlight of this dish is the fish sauce. If you just eat it, you will only have the fat taste of the fat and the aroma of onions. Even the food was pretty bland. But when combined with the dipping sauce made from shrimp broth combined with fish sauce and a few slices of chili, it brightens up the taste of the dish. Nam cake 
Also a typical Hue traditional cuisine similar to flour cake, banh beo. Banh Nam is made from rice flour, the filling is made of green beans or shrimp, minced meat. Cake served with diluted chili sauce. The cake has a fragrant, fatty taste that seems to melt immediately when placed in the mouth. Because the cake is very fragile, when eating, diners should use a spoon instead of chopsticks. Put the cake on a plate and peel the cake, then pour the dipping sauce on the surface of the cake, then take a spoon to remove the cake from the leaves and eat. Wet cake The crust is made from the main ingredient of rice flour coated in a thin layer. There are wet cakes such as wet cake with grilled meat, wet cake with sour shrimp, etc. The cake is soft, hot, and wrapped with wood ear, minced meat. Top sprinkled with dried onions, served with dipping sauce, herbs. Mussel rice and dishes from mussels 
For only 10 thousand VND, diners can enjoy a bowl of Hue-style mussel rice. You will be surprised when with only tens of thousands of dollars, you can get a rice bowl full of mussels. This is the type of rice mixed with ingredients including: white rice, fried mussels, tofu, fried onions, herbs… Season with a little fish sauce, fish sauce to make the rice more fragrant and then mix well. The sticky rice is mixed with the salty taste, the spicy taste of spices, the crunchy fat, the sweet taste of mussel juice, the chewy sweetness of mussels creating the unique character of the dish. 
Hue tea Coming to Hue without enjoying tea is extremely flawed. One of the famous tea shops in Hue is the alley tea on Hung Vuong Street. The shop is located deep in the alley, quiet space, inside there are a few small wooden tables close together. At the counter, there are rows of tall glasses filled with tea of all colors and flavors, neatly arranged. Diners just need to add ice to enjoy. The tea has flavors to choose from such as corn tea, purple potato tea, water drifting tea, green bean tea, é seed tea, bean curd tea, red bean tea, roasted pork filter powder tea,…. 
In which, roasted pork powder tea is the most unique dish that everyone wants to try. Transparent filter powder wrapped inside is a square piece of roast meat with skin. Tea has both sweet and salty taste, both crispy and greasy. And purple potato tea is the dish that pleases the most diners because of the gentle purple color mixed with greasy, fragrant coconut milk. Vegetarian vermicelli 
Called a vegetarian dish, vegetarian vermicelli is not inferior to any other savory noodle dish. That must be the sophistication in the culinary culture of Hue people. Still the eye-catching red-yellow color, still the rich sweetness of the broth, but the ingredients are completely free of the presence of animal fat. Ingredients are used entirely from nature, usually vegetables, tubers, fruits and mushrooms, skillfully combined with spices to form a nutritious, safe and unique dish. Mixed duck eggs 
The restaurant only serves the evening, located on the sidewalk with about 3 plastic tables but crowded with customers to eat and customers to buy and take away. Diners can order a dish of duck eggs or they will be given a whole egg, accompanied by a plate of pickles. Or order mixed eggs, the hostess will perform the “mixing” stage before bringing the finished product to diners. The ingredients of the mixed egg dish include: shelled duck eggs, melons including figs, green mango, Thai chi, laksa leaves …. Combined with clever spices to create a dish that is both strange and familiar. The spicy, crunchy, and strangely sweet flavors create the attractiveness of the dish. The price of the dish is only about 7k / fruit. Salt Coffee If Hanoi has the famous egg coffee, Hue has salt coffee – a specialty of the ancient capital. Talking about salted coffee, people will mistakenly think that coffee has the salty taste of the sea, but that cannot fully describe the flavor that this coffee brings. Salted coffee still has the charming aroma of coffee, the greasy taste of fresh milk, the salty taste of salt, the bitter taste that remains at the end of the coffee. Diners can choose to drink hot or add ice. This is probably also the unique point of salted coffee when it can be enjoyed hot or cold but still retains the same taste without fading.
