Ranked 7th in the list released on May 15, chao long is described by Taste Atlas as “an appealing, affordable dish loved by people across Vietnam.”

“Each region has its own twist, but the dish is typically made with rice cooked in pork bone broth and combined with various types of pork offal, such as liver, kidneys, spleen, stomach, or heart,” the site notes.

Chao long is always served hot and often accompanied by fried dough sticks, scallions, and chili powder. Bean sprouts, lime, fresh herbs, fish sauce, and ginger are usually offered separately. Diners may also enjoy it with congealed pig’s blood, depending on personal preference.

Previously, chao long was also featured by Taste Atlas in its list of the top 100 best street foods in Southeast Asia.

In addition to chao long, Vietnam is represented by three other dishes in the list of Asia’s 33 best porridges: chao thit bo (beef porridge) ranked 18th, chao vit (duck porridge) ranked 22nd, and chao ga (chicken porridge) ranked 25th.

Founded in 2015, Taste Atlas is recognized as a global culinary map that catalogs traditional dishes from around the world.

According to founder Matija Babić, the rankings are based on reviews and evaluations by culinary experts and food critics to ensure credibility.
