HẢI PHÒNG — A food tour has always been a must-try experience for any visitor to Hải Phòng City. Not only does it offer fresh and delicious food at reasonable prices, but also showcases cuisine with unique cultural characteristics. Let's explore some of the local specialties, such as spicy bread sticks, crab noodle soup and coconut coffee.

Spicy bread sticks are an absolute delight and should not be missed on your food tour. They boast a crispy crust, with a tantalising filling of pate and chili sauce that creates an aromatic and mouth-watering experience. Another popular dish, crab noodle soup, is commonly enjoyed for breakfast. It features vibrant red noodles and a distinctive broth made from crab fat. Toppings such as shrimp, meat, and bacon add a delightful medley of flavors to this comforting bowl of goodness.

Make sure to indulge in the unique flavours of coconut coffee and the exquisite smashed coconut dessert. A cup of coffee enhanced with dried coconut and coconut milk will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds, creating an unforgettable and alluring experience.

Sủi dìn is a famous delicacy in the northern port city of Hải Phòng. These delicate treats consist of a wrapper made from glutinous rice flour, filled with either green beans or black sesame that has been cooked with hot ginger water and sprinkled with grated coconut. Sủi dìn is best enjoyed on cold days, adding warmth and a burst of flavours to your culinary adventure.

As you venture into the coastal city of Hải Phòng, be sure not to overlook the dishes made from snails. The city's snails are prepared in various ways, from boiled to fried with coconut or tamarind. These snail dishes are incredibly delicious, rich in flavors, and leave a lasting impression that will linger in your memory long after your visit.

A Hải Phòng food tour promises an exceptional gastronomic journey, offering a diverse range of flavours and cultural experiences that will leave visitors unable to forget the culinary delights of this vibrant city.
