The Best Snack for Beer You Can Find in Vietnam
Do you like to drink beer? Of course, you do!
I personally think that drinking local beers with local snacks gives the best cultural experience when you travel to provinces or different countries. How more cultural it can be!!! In this blog post, we will discuss the best Vietnamese snacks for beer. We will cover everything from potato chis from Mekong Delta, cashew nuts, and macadamia from the Central Highlands, to the chocolate-coated dried mango from the North. Exciting!
Potato Chips
It is believed that the easiest way to a person’s heart is through the stomach. CHUS selected a Vietnamese snacks brand, Ranchu Saigon, that specializes exclusively in manufacturing Vietnamese snacks with unique ingredients and flavors. Ranchu carefully chooses unique ingredients and seasonings, to provide clean and safe snacks for customers. Ranchu has curated flavors using locally sourced ingredients and spices - original potato chips, cheese & honey flavor, seaweed flavor, fish skin, and anchovy snacks, aiming to provide healthy and affordable snacks that can be accessed by all in Vietnam.
Healthy Nuts & Dried Fruits
Vietnam is a country that thrives on agriculture thanks to sunshine and rainfalls. No wonder why Vietnam has so many fresh nuts, fruits, and seeds. You will be surprised to have a bite of fresh macadamia just out of a nutshell, freshly roasted cashew nuts, cold dried sunflower seeds, garlic-flavored peanuts, honey almond, wasabi coated cashews, and more and more. Enjoy the gifts from nature and drink beers with it.
We also chus it for you here.
Organic Rice Snacks
Have you tried “Scorched Rice Snack Topped with Pork Floss”? It is a very authentic snack and one of the unique specialties of Saigon, attracting all classes and ages with its distinctive flavor. The crunchy, tasty scorched rice combined with the salty, sweet, and spicy taste of pork floss that no one can refuse. Taste? Really really good.
The Southern part of Vietnam, a.k.a. Mekong Delta, is one of the largest paddy rice farming lands globally. All different kinds of rice are growing here - brown, red, and black rice for instance. One of our collaborating brand, GU Foods, specializes in products made from brown rice. You will find authentic rice-based beer snacks that are crunchy and healthier than factory made chips with lots of artificial flavors.
Cacao and Chocolate
Is it only myself who enjoys chocolates with beers and wines? From single-origin cacao-based to chocolate-coated macadamia, you will find the treasures that are made of local ingredients grown organically in Vietnam. My favorite is “Chocolate dipped mango” :)
We chus a variety of local chocolate collections for you here!
Now what?
No matter what snack you choose, make sure to enjoy it with a cold beer! If it is locally crafted special beers, it would be much better for your enjoyment.
Một, Hai, Ba, Dzô~ Cheers!
