The rich, rustic cuisine of Gia Lai province is taking center stage at the Autumn delicacies food festival 2025 in Hanoi, drawing visitors with the distinctive tastes of Vietnam’s Central Highlands and the warm hospitality of the coastal “Xu Nau” region.
Hanoi has surpassed many of its neighbors, including Singapore, Bangkok, and Phnom Penh, to be named Asia’s second-best street food city, according to British magazine Time Out.
The Quan Son Lake area, near Huong Son commune on the southwestern outskirts of Hanoi, has earned a reputation for its signature dish, carp salad, now regarded as a culinary highlight for visitors traveling to the Hương (Perfume) Pagoda.
