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.

From after January until now, jellyfish have begun to appear. Depending on the tide, jellyfish are often washed ashore by waves. This is also the time when many people go to the beach to try their luck by collecting jellyfish.
