5. The cuisine

Local foods in Hoi An seduce tourists because of its particular tastes made from skillful hands of local residents. Cao Lau is one of the most typical food in Hoi An. In order to create the golden color and flexibility of noodles, the cooks have to use ashes from Cu Lao Cham for soaking the rice. The water used for cooking broth must be taken from Ba Le ancient well, a renowned well for its non- alum water. This makes Cao Lau have its own savor.

Another must-try food in Hoi An is Banh Beo, which has small balls of rice flour mixed with onions and porks, set on banana leaves and steamed. The unique feature of Banh Beo is shrimps. The prawn layers with red-pink color are evenly covered with the cake, combined with black pepper and green onion. Banh Beo Hoi An often served with fish sauce. If you want more flavor, you can add some chili or pickled vegetables. When eating Banh Beo, visitors will feel a lot of flavors mixed together: the flesh of the meat shrimp, the cool taste of the white smooth cake layer, the salty taste of fish sauce. In particular, eating Banh Beo must use "bamboo knife”, a bamboo stick with a blade shape. It is a culinary way that makes the difference between Banh Beo and other delicious dishes in Hoi An.
