Food in Hoi An is, even by high Vietnamese standards, cheap and tasty. In addition to the usual suspects, there are three dishes that Hoi An is particularly famous for: Cao lầu, a dish of rice noodles which are not quite as slippery as pho and a bit closer in texture to pasta; White rose (banh bao vac), a type of shrimp dumpling made from translucent white dough bunched up to look like a rose; Wantan dumplings, essentially the same as the Chinese kind, served up in soup or deep-fried.
