Signature dishes like Vung Tau's banh khot (mini savory pancakes), lau ca keo (goby fish hotpot), and bun mam (fermented fish noodle soup) are more than just culinary delights – they serve as ‘cultural ambassadors,’ adding a distinctive charm to M.I.C.E. tourism, which blends conferences, events, and cultural experiences.
