Coming to the rendezvous which was the capital of many dynasties, and Hanoi was regarded as the elite cuisine of the North with delicious dishes such as Pho, bun thang, bun cha, bun oc, com lang Vong (Vong village’s green sticky rice) and banh cuon Thanh Tri (Thanh Tri rolled cakes) as well as special spices like Ca cuong, Lang basil.
Northern cuisine – Finicality in the way of processing
Northern cuisine not only has a very distinctive character, each dish has the hallmarks and characteristics of each land, representing the way of fussily processing, decorations and levels of subtle enjoyment. It is unnatural that the ancients gave the ancient land the phrase “eat in the North of Vietnam,” perhaps because the food in the Northern cuisine is tastefu;, not intense and especially respects its nature.
Derived from thoroughness, skill and sophistication in processing; especially in the holidays, the dexterity is shown more clearly with the “high tray”, each tray must be “four bowls and six dishes” which are processed sophisticatedly, delicious and also eye-catching.
Northern cuisine is not only focused on dishes of the holiday, but also has another characteristic very “Northern”: the cakes. The cakes are not dishes in meals, but they bring a lot of eagerness, especially, it holds many beautiful memories in the childhood of each of these northerners.Northern cuisine is like this, not so splendid, brilliant, but it is full of emotion as a poem of art. But above all, people see the beauty and the greatness in the Northern cuisine is the love, the earnest love to the homeland.
