Not overly elaborate yet remarkably refined, the harmonious and refreshing flavors of Hue's cuisine have a unique charm for many visitors when summer comes.

There is a unique dish sold only during summer in Hue, with a cool, refreshing flavor that helps to cool down the body. It's called bún giấm nuốc (vinegar blue jellyfish noodles). Hue's noodle dishes are famously diverse and abundant, too numerous to count on one's ten fingers, with each type having its distinct color and flavor that's hard to confuse with others.
