French Influence in Vietnamese Food! 🇻🇳🥖☕

In March, I traveled to Vietnam and experienced its unique food culture! Looking at these photos, you can see a strong influence from France.  

Because of Vietnam's history with France, bread and coffee have become a big part of daily life in Vietnam. However, Vietnamese people have arranged French food into their own style.  

First, I went to a stylish cafe and had crispy croissants with Vietnamese iced coffee and a fruit drink. The croissants tasted just like the ones in Paris, while the cafe atmosphere felt very Vietnamese!  

I also ate Bánh mì, a famous Vietnamese sandwich. Bánh mì uses a light and crispy French baguette, filled with meat, pickled vegetables, and lots of fresh cilantro. The combination of French bread and Vietnamese ingredients was delicious!  

Learning how history connects different food cultures made my trip very interesting. I definitely want to visit Vietnam again!
