4. Strange meat

5. Cold soups

In Vietnam, bowls of soup like Pho are so hot that burn you to the bone. The heat not only makes dishes more exquisite but also kills all the bad things. That’s why cold soups are not welcomed in Vietnam. Hence, when your noodles aren’t hot enough, you should complain to the waiter.

6. Fruits with edible skins

Agricultural products, fruits in particular, sometimes contain a certain amount of pesticides. It’s not much of concern for fruits like bananas or watermelons as we don’t eat the skin. However, with apples, guava or things like that, consider washing fruits thoroughly before you eat them. You also check the restaurants you dine at whether they do the same.

7. Toads
