Understanding Vietnam's Culinary Landscape

Vietnam's food culture is incredibly diverse, shaped by various factors including geography and climate. With about 75% of the country covered by mountains, the long coastline also provides an abundance of seafood, contributing rich flavors to Vietnamese cuisine.

Regional Diversity
Vietnam is split into three main regions: the North, Central, and South, each with its unique culinary characteristics. The North is known for its natural flavors, emphasizing fresh ingredients, with dishes that often include vegetables and meats highlighted by subtle seasonings. In contrast, Central Vietnam boasts spicier dishes influenced by royal cuisine, particularly the popular specialties from the ancient city of Hue. The South, on the other hand, tends to balance sweetness, spiciness, and acidity, using an array of fresh seafood that speaks to the region’s coastal identity.
