A Taste of Vietnam for Gourmet Lovers
Hanoi, Vietnam, August 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The new Luxury Travel trip (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) features a 12-day itinerary of Vietnam's most popular spots, with many special opportunities to discover and savor the surprisingly varied tastes of this fascinating land.
Along with exploring new cultures, one of the great joys of travel is the discovery of new cuisine. Those unfamiliar with Vietnamese food are in for a treat, as the national cuisine is flavorful, colorful and extremely healthy.
North: Northern Vietnam has long been influenced by its proximity to China. As the only part of the country that experiences four seasons, many dishes are only available in season. Overall, the food tends to be milder and lighter than that found in the rest of Vietnam.
Central: The pundits claim that central cuisine is the most culturally authentic food in the country. Heavily influenced by the Imperial court cuisine of Hue, the food is generally spicy and well seasoned.
South: Southern cuisine is the most varied of the three. Rich in vegetables, rice and seafood, it has incorporated French, Cambodian and Thai influences into a style that is distinctively its own. It is more heavily seasoned and tropical, spicier and at times sweeter than northern food.
Luxury Travel's “A Taste of Vietnam” trip is designed for the traveler with limited time and an unlimited appetite for a culinary adventure.
