What is a typical Vietnamese breakfast?

There are often various toppings or fillings with rice, such as eggs, bacon, sausage, vegetables, and pickled onions.

Rice dishes can be so delicious and come in a wide variety - from light Asian-inspired stir-fries to great Mexican burritos. But no matter what type of rice dish you’re eating, one thing never changes - the opportunity to build your flavour experience by adding all sorts of interesting toppings and fillings! Maybe you fancy some scrambled egg for an omelette-style breakfast, or maybe slices of crispy bacon or sizzling sausages would go perfectly with your dinner. Then, why not add a few veggies to the mix? Whether it's broccoli, sweet potato, mushroom - even pickled onions - there's something here for everyone to enjoy. Yum!

Soup is also a standard part of Vietnamese breakfast and can be either clear or miso-based

Vietnamese cuisine is as unique as it is delicious, and when it comes to breakfast, soup plays a huge part in the culinary experience. But you won't find any bland old chicken noodles here - the two main types of Vietnamese soups served at breakfast are clear broth soups made with fish or meat; and miso-based soups filled with all kinds of delicious grains, herbs and vegetables. Add to that a generous helping of freshly-made garnishes, like spring onions, scallions and mixed spices - let's say there may be no better way to start the day!

Some other popular dishes that might be served include banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), spring rolls, and pho (noodle soup)

Delicious Vietnamese cuisines like banh mi, spring rolls, and pho are quickly becoming famous for dinner! Banh mi sandwiches are a traditional street food-style blend of meat served in crunchy French baguettes. Spring rolls give an enjoyable experience with their crispy outer shells holding a filling of vegetables and mushrooms or pork, shrimp or tofu. Pho noodle soup brings comfort through its mild flavour and silky broth combined with chewy rice noodles and various portions of meat. Additionally, the subtle aromas emanating from these dishes are sure to tantalize your taste buds!

Drinks to accompany breakfast typically include tea or coffee.

Starting your day off right begins with the perfect cup of joe. But not just any coffee - Vietnamese coffee is truly unique and can make an excellent accompaniment to breakfast. Its ability to add something special to the morning table cannot be overstated. Vietnamese coffee is usually served with a thick layer of sweet condensed milk at the bottom and a single-serve Vietnamese filter placed atop. This ensures a rich, creamy flavour that will tantalize your taste buds as you begin your morning routine. Vietnamese coffee adds distinction & flair that no other beverage could provide for breakfast: try it out and see for yourself!

 

At Toronto Pho, we have a fusion version of this drink called the VA VA VIET. It’s a Vietnamese Iced coffee but in slushie format, and it is phenomenal.
