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