CNN site give hints about ten street dishes that every visitor should not miss when they come to Vietnam, including bun cha, nem cuon, ca phe trung, banh mi, bot chien, pho and xoi.

|
Bot chien Ho Chi Minh City's favorite streetside snack, bot chien is popular with both the afterschool and the after-midnight crowd. |
 |
|
Banh mi The French may have brought with them the baguette, but Vietnam takes it to a different level. |
 |
|
Goi cuon and nem ran These light and healthy fresh spring rolls are a wholesome choice when you've been indulging in too much of the fried food in Vietnam. |
 |
|
Banh xeo A good banh xeo is a crispy crepe bulging with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts, plus the garnish of fresh herbs that are characteristic of most authentic Vietnamese dishes. |
 |
|
Pho What list of Vietnamese cuisine would be complete without pho? |
 |
|
Bun bo nam bo This bowl of vermicelli noodles -- widely popular in Hanoi -- comes sans broth, keeping the ingredients from becoming sodden and the various textures intact. |
 |
|
Cao lau One of Vietnam's most popular dishes, cao lau combines elements from various cultures. |
 |
|
Ca phe trung Vietnamese "egg coffee" is technically a drink but we prefer to put it in the dessert category. |
 |
|
Xoi Savory sticky rice is less of an accompaniment to meals in Vietnam, more a meal itself. |
 |
|
Bun cha Pho might be Vietnam's most famous dish but bun cha is the top choice when it comes to lunchtime in the capital. Still not convinced? It's what Obama ate during his night out with Bourdain.
