Hue cuisine is the spiciest of all regional Vietamese cuisines I’d tried, even more than Saigon’s. The Hanoi palate up north won’t tolerate chili at all, and the cooking general gets spicier as one moves southwards.
That said, Hue flavours are generally more subtle than others, and Hueans have a reputation in Vietnam for fine, meticulous cooking, which everyone here generally tried to live up to.
