Spicy beef noodle soup from Bảo Lộc tea town - a highland adaptation of the Huế classic with a richer, darker broth from longer bone simmering in the cool climate, topped with thick slices of beef shank and pork hock, eaten at dawn at market stalls surrounded by Bảo Lộc's tea-covered hills

Grilled baguette brushed with chilli salt butter and toasted over charcoal - a Đà Lạt street snack where the French baguette tradition meets highland chilli, the bread chars slightly while the butter melts into the crust creating a smoky, spicy, addictive combination eaten while wandering the night market
