5 Main Highlights of Hoi An Motorbike Tour

The Hoi An Motorbike Tour is a flavorful journey (literally) through the town’s culinary highlights!

Begin with iconic white rose dumplings and fried wontons before savoring the bold and aromatic Vietnamese coffee brewed with locally grown Robusta beans. Then, explore the Tra Que Vegetable Village (famous for its organic herbs and farm-to-table ethos) and learn how to “nhậu” with dishes like banana flower salad and seafood hotpot.

1. Savor The Iconic White Rose Dumplings and Fried Wontons

One of the first stops of the Hoi An Motorbike Tour introduces you to Hoi An’s culinary classics: white rose dumplings and fried wontons.

The dumplings are made from translucent rice paper and delicately filled with minced shrimp before being topped with crispy fried shallots. Hoian-ians have considered them a culinary heritage for ages, especially given that the recipe is exclusive and has been guarded for generations.

Alongside them, fried wontons (a fusion of Chinese and Vietnamese flavors) come topped with fresh seafood and tangy tomato sauce. If you want to know what defines Hoi An’s food scene, this unique, crispy delight is the answer you are looking for!

2. Experience The Richness of Vietnamese Coffee

Beyond just a simple beverage, Vietnamese coffee also serves as one of Hoi An’s cultural symbols. The moment you sit down to enjoy a rich, aromatic cup at a local café, the guides and locals will tell you everything there is to know about its unique preparation method.

The coffee is typically brewed using a slow-drip phin filter and can be served black (cà phê đen) or with sweetened condensed milk (cà phê sữa). Its robust flavor comes from locally grown Robusta beans, sending bold, earthy notes that you will hardly forget! Coupled with the laid-back ambiance of Hoi An’s streets, this entire coffee experience offers a quiet moment to soak in the charm of Vietnamese daily life.

3. Discover Tra Que Vegetable Village

Want a refreshing break from the bustling streets? How about a visit to Tra Que Vegetable Village, famous for its organically grown herbs and vegetables?

This charming farming community uses traditional techniques to cultivate crops like basil, coriander, and Vietnamese mint. While walking through the beautiful gardens, you’ll see how farmers use seaweed from nearby rivers as a natural fertilizer and gain great insights into the farm-to-table ethos of Hoi An’s cuisine. Not to mention, the serene rural landscape of the region is to die for!

4. Dine The “Nhậu” Way by The Riverside

“Nhậu” refers to a Vietnamese dining style where food, snacks, and drinks bring people together.

Hot beef noodles

At a local riverside restaurant, you’ll enjoy freshly prepared dishes like banana flower salad and seafood hotpot, accompanied by cold beer. The banana flower salad, another textural highlight, blends julienned banana blossoms with shredded chicken, crushed peanuts, and a tangy fish sauce dressing. And let’s not forget about a communal favorite, the seafood hotpot, which features fresh seafood simmered with aromatic herbs in a savory broth.

To dine in “nhậu” style, everyone savors good food while sharing laughter and stories among themselves. Congratulations; you have just had a true taste of Vietnamese social life.

5. Indulge in Bánh Khọt and Dessert

Finally, let’s end the motorbike tour Hoi An on a high note with bánh khọt, savory coconut pancakes cooked to crispy perfection, topped with shrimp, and served with fresh greens and fish sauce.

As the evening concludes, indulge your sweet tooth with a local dessert. There are plenty of choices here, such as chè (sweet soup) or bánh flan (Vietnamese caramel flan), all of which showcase the creativity and diversity of Vietnamese culinary traditions.

Do You Need Your Own Motorbike?

No, you don’t need your own motorbike for the Hoi An Street Food Tour by Vietnam Backpacker Hostels. As mentioned earlier, both motorbikes and helmets are already included in the tour package so that you will have all the necessary equipment for a safe journey.

Furthermore, the motorbikes are operated by professional drivers to let you focus on soaking in the sights, flavors, and culture of Hoi An. There’s no need to be stressed about navigating, traffic, or the possibility of an accident!

5 Tips to Make The Most of Hoi An Motorbike Tour

To fully enjoy the Hoi An Motorbike Street Food Tour, arrive with an empty stomach to savor the diverse culinary offerings like white rose dumplings and seafood hotpot. Dress comfortably with breathable fabrics and sunscreen to stay cool in Hoi An’s warm, humid weather.

Come with An Appetite

It should be quite clear by now that this tour focuses exclusively on exploring Hoi An’s culinary highlights. Therefore, don’t eat a heavy meal beforehand. After all, with dishes like white rose dumplings, bánh mì, and seafood hotpot on the menu, you’ll want to save plenty of room to savor every bite.

Wear Comfortable Clothing and Footwear

Secondly, make sure you dress lightly and wear comfortable shoes to stay relaxed during the tour. As the weather in Hoi An can be warm and humid, we highly recommend breathable fabrics for a more pleasant experience. Of course, don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen for daytime tours!

Communicate Dietary Preferences in Advance

Do you have dietary restrictions or preferences? In that case, let the tour organizers know when booking. We have plenty of alternatives provided for vegetarian or specific nutritional needs, including accommodating local vegan traditions on lunar calendar days.

Bring A Camera or Smartphone

Every place in Hoi An, from the vibrant market scenes to the picturesque Tra Que Vegetable Village, is filled with Instagram-worthy moments! Capture these highlights to your heart’s content, but remember to keep your camera or phone secure while on the motorbike.

Engage with Your Guide and Group

Lastly, you should take advantage of the small group setting (only 12 participants at best) to ask your guide questions about Hoi An’s food culture, history, local traditions, etc. You will not have the same opportunities for larger tours!
