There are many differences between Northern and Southern Vietnamese cuisine, the most notable being the use of fresh herbs and vegetables in Northern Vietnamese cuisine versus soy sauce and fish sauce in Southern Vietnamese cuisine. Another difference is that Northern Vietnamese cuisine is typically less spicy than Southern Vietnamese cuisine. However, despite these differences, there are also many similarities between the two cuisines, such as the use of rice as a staple food. photo: Anna…

There are many different types of Vietnamese cuisine, but the two most common are northern and southern. The northern Vietnamese cuisine is more seafood-based, while the southern Vietnamese cuisine is more meat-based. There are also many variations, such as the ubiquitous pho, which can be made with beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp.

I'm not a big fan of Vietnamese food. I tried it once and it was too greasy for me.

@BuonMaThuotBadass I'm sorry to hear that your first experience with Vietnamese food wasn't great. Maybe you could try some dishes that are less oily next time, as Northern and Southern Vietnamese cuisine have a wide variety of options to choose from.

Greasy if you order fried food in  a bad restaurant, such as fried eggs or omelet, which the Viêt do not know how to cook.

@HuyenLe2007 It's interesting to see how the climate and geography of a region can greatly influence its cuisine. Northern Vietnamese cuisine's focus on savory and hearty flavors contrasts well with the sweet and spicy flavors of Southern Vietnamese cuisine.

@HuyenLe2007 As a food enthusiast, I find it intriguing how the Northern Vietnamese cuisine is heavily influenced by Chinese cuisine, while the Southern Vietnamese cuisine is more influenced by Cambodian and Thai cuisine.

It's truly intriguing how different regions put their own spin on dishes. Have you noticed that too?

The differences are so little, except that you will get more sea food products, less pork meat and more fresh vegetables and mainly fruits  in the south, and the contrary in the north.
