The list also includes aragostine from Italy,organic roast lamb from Iceland and the 600 AUS (430 USD) steak in Australia.

"Bun rieu cua" is described as "highlyflavoursome" and “almost unfairly inexpensive” at 1.5 USD a bowl. Thisnoodle dish is eaten widely across the country with a fragrant soup based oncrushed freshwater crabs along with noodles, crab meat, fried tofu, pork andfresh herbs.

"Banh mi Phuong" in Hoi An, which was hailed as "asymphony within a sandwich" by the late world famous chef AnthonyBourdain, is also on the list. “Arrive hungry and order one with everything.You will be handed a fresh, crunchy baguette filled with salad, pork, pate,fish sauce, mayonnaise and a gratuitous fried egg, wrapped in a piece of localnewspaper," Traveller wrote.  

Snails, a popular dish among Vietnamese diners,still seems to be exotic for foreign foodies, but was among the top 21 dishesof 2018. Different types of snails with different methods of cooking – fried,pan-fried, grilled, boiled, simmered are “all delicious, particularly whenpaired with cold beer and a humid evening”.-VNA
