- Vietnamese grilled pork skewers, known locally as "thịt xiên nướng," are a popular street food sold especially on the streets from evening to night. It's said that Vietnamese skewers were influenced by the French colonial period, and they have since uniquely evolved with Vietnam's own spices and herbs. The sweet sauce is made with fish sauce, sugar, and garlic, and the meat is marinated beforehand to enhance its tenderness. The charcoal grill traps the rich aroma and flavor inside the meat, providing an exquisite eating experience. As the author notes, saying they're so tender that no teeth are needed is a bit extreme, but it's indeed true that they have a very pleasant texture. In your enthusiasm for devouring pork skewers, be careful not to spill sauce on your keyboard when you write next time. And by the way, if you channel that enthusiasm towards the gym, your physique might make street food even more appealing!
