2. Better to Know Banh Mi Thuy

Vietnamese bread is derived from baguette, brought to South Vietnam by the French in the 20th century. Some researchers believe that banh mi has been present in Vietnam for 150 years ago. Decades later, Vietnamese banh mi spread throughout the central and southern regions, especially in Saigon. The Saigon people then modified the baguette into a smaller and shorter loaf, only about 30–40 cm, and the inside of the baguette was hollow to accommodate more fillings, similar to a sandwich. Depending on the ingredients, bread has different names. In addition, banh mi is also served with a variety of dishes, such as braised beef, sardines or shumai.

After 1975, following the migration and crossing of the sea by Vietnamese people, Vietnamese bread became popular in many countries and territories around the world. This dish is present in nearly every country where Vietnamese expatriates live because of its easy-to-find ingredients as well as simple processing, suitable for the culture of the place where they live. In the usual way of calling, the British Americans changed the word "banh mi" to banh mi instead of calling Vietnamese sandwiches like similar dishes. In March 2012, the travel website of The Guardian newspaper voted Saigon bread in the top 10 most delicious and attractive street foods in the world.

Particularly, coming to Thuy's banh mi shop, tourists will feel the unique quality from the bread, feel the crispy taste of the cake, the rich taste of meat, the crunchy sour taste of each pickle. Surely no guest can forget once they have eaten.

6. Pro tips:

Here are our tips for easing your mind (and stomach) around food-handling environments that you may not be used to.

Make sure the food is freshly cooked. If you're eating hot street food, it's always safest (not to mention more delicious) to eat food you can see being cooked to order.

Look for lines and busy stalls. Busy street food stalls are an indicator of popularity, and their high turnover rate means the food is never sitting out for hours and developing dreaded bacteria. Yes, long lines can be discouraging when you’re hungry after a full day of exploring, but it’s not worth the risk of grabbing precooked food from the empty spot next door.

Eat when the locals are eating. The last and most important element here is when to eat. You’re likely already on a weird eating schedule while you’re traveling, but it’s important to try and adjust to the eating times of where you are. A bowl of pho might be lunch for Americans, but it’s breakfast for the Vietnamese. This ensures that you’re eating freshly cooked food and that you can find the best and most popular places to eat.

If you can’t drink the water, then you can’t eat the salad. Most people get so hung up on not drinking the water or skipping ice in drinks that they don’t think about all of the other ways in which water is used in food service. Fruits and vegetables tend to be washed with tap water in most places, rather than the filtered water that locals drink—or sometimes it’s not washed at all. If you’re really craving some produce, try fruits you can peel or cooked veggies.

Trust your gut. If you’re unsure about the food or the way that it’s being prepared, then keep moving. Eating street food all over the world doesn’t make you an expert. Every stall and every country are different, and sometimes the rules can be harder to follow. When something doesn’t look, smell, or feel right, don’t eat it! Trust your judgment. Chances are that there’s another spot close by that’s making something more delicious.
