Specialties of food in Hoi An

Coming to the ancient town of Hoi An, one of the most attractive cities in Asia, tourists can enjoy specialties right on the street.
Hoi An used to be one of the busiest cities in Cochin, which conversed the East and West cultures, therefore, the food here is very diverse and abundant.
Today, many traditional cuisines and specialties are offered by street vendors. At about 2pm, one can hear vendors advertising their food on the street. Whenever they find a customer, they stop, place down their bamboo frame under the shade of the tree to prepare food. The customers can enjoy the food right on the pavement or take it away. If they want to taste the cuisines on the spot, the vendors will lay the table, which is a small chair, to arrange food.
Ms. Huong, who has been selling “banh beo” (rice cake with shrimp powder) for more than 20 years, said that both Vietnamese and foreign tourists love to enjoy her food on the street. “The food is not very strange to many people but they like the way it is served and its special flavor. They can also witness the life of local people while eating."
Visitors can find all kinds of food on the street, from Hue’s cuisines as banh beo, banh bot loc, rice with mussel to Chinese cuisines like tofu, xi ma phu, cao lau and Vietnamese and Chinese noodles, which are changed a little in the flavor. The food is served by mobile vendors but it is always hot.
Another reason that makes street food in Hoi An popular is the reasonable price, only from VND5,000-VND30,000/unit.

In Hoi An, vendors are not banned like in other cities because they have helped create the characteristics of this tourism town. However, they have to meet criteria on food hygiene, prices and are not allowed to disturb tourists.
"I charge the same prices for both locals and tourists," said Ms. Hoa, who sells sweet soup on Bach Dang Street.
Walking through the ancient streets of Hoi An as Tran Phu, Le Loi, Nguyen Thai Hoc or along the Hoai River, you will see women walking with a bamboo frame on their shoulder, inviting tourists to buy their food. If the tourists refuse, they will still receive a wish and a smile from the vendor.

Tuy Loan Communal House in Hoi An

Located in Tuy Loan Hamlet, Hoa Phong Commune, Hoa Vang District, this communal house was built in the first year of King Thanh Thai’s reign (1889). Like Nai Nam and Bo Ban, Tuy Loan Communal House is used to worship the gods, and past sages of the village.
In the past, people held a ceremony at this communal house to welcome spring on the 14th and 15th of the second lunar month, and autumn on the 14th and 15th of the eighth lunar month. 
At present, Tuy Loan Communal House is the only one which still preserves 15 royal decrees, dating from King Minh Mang’s reign to the reign of King Bao Dai.
The house covers an area of 110 square metres with brick walls and a pantile roof.  It is decorated with two dragons flanking a moon, and flying dragons, all encrusted with shards of pottery.  The interior has three sections and there are two lean-tos, the rear one of which is 2.4 metres wide and 2.7 metres long.  It has four rows of pillars made of jackfruit wood, each of which has six pillars from 2.5 to 4.5 metres high.
The pillars against the walls are carved with stylised floral designs, and their bases are decorated with pumpkin shapes.  At each of the two sides, the roof beams are decorated with a dragon’s head, and the tie beams have floating clouds, daisies and peonies reflecting their artistic value.

In the resistance war against the French, Tuy Loan Communal House was the place where local people, and those in the neighbouring villages of Bo Ban and Cam Toai, held a demonstration and usurped the power of Hoa Vang District in August 1945.
In the anti-American war (1957-1975), the puppet government of Ngo Dinh Diem used this communal house as a place for interrogating and executing communists.  It was also the place where local people rose up to oppose the Americans and the Diem government.
Tuy Loan Communal House was recognized as a historical and cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture and Communication on 4 January 1999.
