Top 6 Reasons Why Vietnam is a Paradise for Vegetarians

Vietnam is the first country in which I admitted that being a vegetarian isn't that bad. First of all, because of the abundance of cheap and incredibly tasty fruits (after a while, you miss them most of all), nuts, smoothies, and pastries. In addition to fresh and tasty fruits and vegetables, I have compiled 6 reasons to visit the country.

1. Diarrhea won't be your nightmare (but this is not 100%)

Not exactly, because there are always many factors such as dust, some vegetables get dirty. You used a dirty straw and, in general, for many different reasons. However, in most cases, it is quite safe to eat in Vietnam. The vegetarian food here is delicious, and the locals are well versed in this as the skill has been practiced for many years.

2. You can tell that you are a vegetarian

It will be very easy to share your preferences because, in Vietnamese, there is a very simple word for this (Just perfect). You just need to say "chay" - in an even tone without adding color anywhere (which is also unusual for tonal Vietnamese). Well, to consolidate the effect, poke into the desired dish (as a foreigner, you simply have to do this), and it's in the bag!

3. It is very cheap - believe me, this is reality

Wherever you are in Vietnam, you will surely meet such a typical short, tanned woman who prepares delicious street food. She will prepare an airy tender bun, which she will fill with a delicious filling and give it to you while it is still hot so that you immediately feel all the richness of the taste but will take no more than 50 cents for it. This dish is called Bánh mi. In Vietnam, a Bánh mì baguette is a crunchy and elongated bun, hollow inside and practically weightless, stuffed with everything that comes to hand. Barbecued meats, ham, meatballs, fresh or pickled vegetables, fried eggs, cheese, herbs - all serve as the filling for Bánh mì. Usually, Vietnamese eat Bánh mì for breakfast, but stalls with such burgers can be found on the streets of large cities even late at night. In fact, Vietnam has a lot of similar tasty and inexpensive food (the joy of a vegetarian tourist and not only vegan).

4. You can easily find vegetarian food here

Perhaps you haven't yet tried to communicate with people who don't speak English in an attempt to explain to them what you want to eat and how to change the dish. This is actually not a big problem as in Vietnam; there are many places where the word "chay" is written in cafes and restaurants. And in general, there are a lot of vegetarian cafes.

5. The food is stunning!

Have you already tasted the mysterious food from those aluminum pots on the streets of Vietnam? Those where a crowd of people, shouting something, actively order something delicious? Noise din around, and you still need to get through the crowd to get your portion of exotic pleasure. What's in these pots? There can be anything, absolutely incredible dishes, with hot and spicy sauces and seasonings. Curry, mushrooms, tofu, nuts, and much more, everything smells incredible and dizzy with its taste. A plate of rice, crispy baked bread, and a variety of exotic snacks seemed worth standing out in the crowd.

6. It's easy to be a vegetarian in Vietnam

You know, vegetarians always have to tell that they are vegetarians. This isn't always convenient. Perhaps you have such a friend, or you are a vegetarian yourself. In this case, you need to cook special food; sometimes it brings inconvenience. All of this can be confusing. But in this country, you can easily find a dish to your taste, and it will be absolutely convenient. Enjoy!
