The culinary specialty website Taste Atlas has recently honored a series of Vietnamese dishes in its list of the best dishes in the region and the world.
Experts from the prestigious culinary website based in Croatia have always favored Vietnamese cuisine. In the recently released ranking of the 100 best desserts in Asia, flan or caramel custard is the only representative from Vietnam in the top, ranking 87th out of 100.
While this type of cake originates from Europe, it is now popular in many places around the world. In Vietnam, flan is prevalent and widely enjoyed. The soft cake, covered with a layer of caramel, is evaluated by Taste Atlas as a “classic dessert, timeless,” “delicate and visually appealing.”
Additionally, six other Vietnamese dishes including spring rolls (ranked 30th), savory fried pancakes (ranked 53rd), fresh spring rolls (ranked 57th), shrimp paste on sugarcane (ranked 73rd), fried cake (ranked 87th), and mini savory pancakes (ranked 100th) made it to the top 100 best snacks in Asia.
Standing highest on this list is the Vietnamese spring rolls, recognized by Taste Atlas as having a “visually appealing golden color, thin crispy outer layer, and deliciously fragrant filling.”
Previously, Taste Atlas also honored boiled chicken along with three other Vietnamese dishes in the top “65 best chicken dishes in Asia.” Pho, bun rieu, hotpot, sour soup, and Nam Vang-style noodle soup are among the dishes with the best broth in Asia.
On February 9th, fermented pork roll, a starter made from pork and spices fermented for 3-5 days, was the only representative of Vietnam named in Taste Atlas’ list of the world’s best spicy dishes.
In the list of the “100 best beef dishes in the world,” Vietnam also has a series of dishes named such as beef stew (ranked 4th), beef in vinegar hotpot (ranked 6th), shaking beef (ranked 58th), and beef noodle salad (ranked 95th).
Established in 2015, Taste Atlas connects with 9,000 local restaurants, introducing over 10,000 dishes to readers, with thousands of reviews and research by culinary experts and chefs. The website aims to become a world map of traditional dishes made from local ingredients.
