Vietnamese rice dishes stand out in international Top 100 list (Taste Atlas)

Praised as the “kitchen of the world”, Vietnam has amazed visitors from all over the world with exciting and flavorful dishes that are both fulfilling and healthy. Recently, 3 Vietnam dishes have made an appearance on the "100 best rice dishes in the world" list by culinary website Taste Atlas. Founded in 2015, the website’s rankings are based on opinions and reviews from experts and culinary critics to ensure the award’s credibility.

Broken rice ranks highest among Vietnamese dishes on the list, securing the 11th spot with a rating of 4.5/5 stars. Known locally as cơm tấm, this traditional street food features broken and imperfect rice grains, which were once discarded after milling but have now become a signature dish of the city. Taste Atlas highlights the unique texture of the broken rice grains, which become fluffy and spongy when cooked. Essential side dishes include fried eggs, pork skin, and grilled ribs, along with pickles, cucumbers, tomatoes, and scallion oil, creating a colorful and flavorful plate. Fish sauce is an indispensable companion to broken rice, enhancing its flavor. Travellers are often delighted to find street food stalls selling this dish throughout Vietnam.

The most popular variant of broken rice, broken rice with ribs, also made an appearance, ranking 68th with 4.3/5 stars. The meat served with this rice dish is especially popular, thanks to being grilled fragrantly after being marinated with many elaborate spices. The image of a piece of red, fragrant meat lying on a smoky grill has become a "classic" when preparing cơm tấm.

Banh Beo (water fern cake)

Bánh bèo, a signature dish from the Central Region of Vietnam ranks 81st on the list with 4.1/5 stars. Authentic bánh bèo includes ingredients like shrimp paste, pork, fried onions, pork rinds, and fried bread. The Taste Atlas page points out that the highlight of bánh bèo is the indentation in the middle of the cake, used to hold various fillings to bring different flavors. This traditional cake from Hue can be enhanced with roasted peanuts or fried onions. Hue's version is thinner and smaller, often topped with dried shrimp powder and crispy pork skin, while Quang Nam's is thicker and larger, served with a doughy mixture of meat and shrimp. Sweet version is also available mainly in Hoi An.
