The Soul of Vietnamese Cuisine

Vietnamese herbs and spices are the heart of our authentic cuisine at Kichi Vietnamese Foodtour in Hamburg. These aromatic ingredients give our dishes their unmistakable flavor profiles and make them an unforgettable culinary experience.

The Most Important Vietnamese Herbs

In Vietnamese cuisine, fresh herbs play a central role. They are not only used as garnishes, but are essential components of many dishes.

Thai Basil (Húng Quế)

Our Thai Basil gives Pho and other soups their characteristic aroma. At Kichi, we use only fresh Thai basil that we source daily from local suppliers.

Cilantro (Rau Mùi)

Cilantro is found in almost all Vietnamese dishes. Its fresh, lemony notes harmonize perfectly with spicy and sweet flavors.

Vietnamese Mint (Rau Thơm)

Our Vietnamese mint has a more intense aroma than European varieties and gives our dishes a refreshing note.

Traditional Vietnamese Spices

The spice blends in Vietnamese cuisine are the result of centuries of tradition and are prepared at Kichi according to authentic recipes.

Lemongrass (Sả)

Gives soups and curries a fresh, lemony note. Essential for authentic Vietnamese flavors.

Galangal (Riềng)

A relative of ginger with a sharper, earthier aroma. Important for traditional soups.
