Hot noodle soup with sweet broth, soft noodles accompanied with slices of tender beef, can make visitors to sweat but almost everyone must say that it is a delicious dish.
Secondly, compared to many other famous dishes such as “Pho”, egg coffee, snail vermicelli soup is “newcomer” to be on the list of tastes. And probably, the clip sitting on the pavement tasting snail vermicelli on Luong Ngoc Quyen street of famous chef named Anthony Bourd that make this dish to the world. Like “Pho”, snail vermicelli soup is a hot dish, but has its own distinct characteristics. Noodles in snail vermicelli soup are smaller than noodles in “Pho”, so using the chopsticks are harder, and snails are definitely more unusual than beef or chicken. However, it is probably the unique freshness and the sour, spicy taste of vermicelli that made diners excitedly try it.

Ah, and you should not forget that Obama was persuaded by this dish when he visited Vietnam in mid-2016.
