Central has very spicy dishes that challenge the taste buds of diners. Meanwhile, Southern dishes are usually sweet. Full breakfast 
This has surprised many visitors to Vietnam. Vietnamese people tend to get up early and prepare well since it’s not yet morning. Before going to work, everyone can enjoy a bowl of hot pho, stewed soup or broken rice … dishes that are often used in the main meal. Coffee culture 
Many people believe that coming to Vietnam without trying coffee will be too big a mistake. Visitors can find cafes in almost every street in Vietnam, from popular to expensive.
