Pho is among the best breakfast dishes in Asia.

Vietnamese cuisine has always been a topic of interest for tourists and international media. Most recently, three Vietnamese dishes were mentioned in an article in the South China Morning Post (SCMP) – Hong Kong's most prestigious English-language newspaper – honoring the best breakfast dishes in Asia.

First up is the banh mi – a popular and affordable Vietnamese dish that has won the hearts of almost all diners, both domestic and international. It's even been listed in the Oxford Dictionary. The SCMP describes Vietnamese banh mi as a "flavor bomb." Despite its small size, the banh mi contains a rich filling of Vietnamese sausage, butter, pate, eggs, shredded pork, pickles, herbs, and various sauces of your choice. Banh mi is a popular breakfast food in Vietnam and is sold at many street vendors and sidewalk stalls throughout the country.

The second dish mentioned in this article is pho – the most popular Vietnamese dish among foreign diners and one that has been honored in many international culinary rankings.

While banh mi and pho are familiar names in many culinary rankings, bun bo Hue is equally impressive in both flavor and popularity. This signature dish of the ancient capital has become famous throughout the country for its elaborate broth and unique, unmistakable flavor. Previously, bun bo Hue was recognized as an Asian record, ranking among the top 100 dishes with significant culinary value in Asia by the Asian Record Organization.

The author also added that Vietnamese pho and bun bo Hue are not only suitable for breakfast, but can also be eaten at any meal of the day, including late at night.
