What to eat at Chợ Hội An (Hoi An, Vietnam Market)

Bánh Xèo, Cao Lầu, and Bánh Vạc the best food at Hoi An Market, Hoi An, Vietnam In the early evening after a long day exploring the beautiful Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I made my way to the nearby Hoi An Market to eat some of the city's specialty dishes. The market is a bustling maze of narrow aisles packed with vendors selling everything from fresh produce and seafood to spices, clothing, souvenirs, and street food. While the building itself feels a little chaotic, that's part of its charm. I sat down at a table near the entrance and looked at the menu. There were really three dishes that I knew that I had to order when visiting this ancient little central Vietnamese town, and this little local shop sold them all. Chợ Hội An, or Hoi An Market
