Some typical names such as Vietnamese pho and banh mi or Chicago pizza are available at simple to Michelin-starred restaurants.

Described as Vietnam's "national dish", the rich flavor of the broth mixed with soft but chewy noodles and beef or chicken leaves an unforgettable impression.

CNN once commented that very few street foods in the world can compete with Vietnam's pho for its popularity. This dish is sold everywhere in Vietnam, from roadside eateries, and in cafes and luxury restaurants.

The media outlet suggests sampling a warm bowl of Phở, a Vietnamese noodle soup that boasts tonnes of flavor at Dong Thap Noodles in Seattle, the US. The meal is comprised of three pounds of noodles, meat, and liters of broth, respectively.

Although it is meant for a family of six to seven people, if diners are able to finish the bowl within 90 minutes then they can get a US$500 reward. Only three people have successfully completed the challenge, according to Insider.

Banh mi (baguette) was brought to Vietnam by the French in the 20th century. Thanks to the creativity of the Vietnamese people, it has become famous all over the world.

The most popular version of banh mi has a filling consisting of pate made from pork liver served with pork, pickled carrots, coriander, sauce and a few other ingredients. Visitors can also find sandwiches served with grilled meat.

The publication therefore recommends Banh Mi Huynh Hoa, a site which is recognised as one of the most famous spots to try the sandwich in Ho Chi Minh City.

Insider compiles a list of the most famous food from around the world in order to determine the top 60 foods everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. Some items, such as Chicago's deep-dish pizza, won't need foodies to break the bank, but others require traveling a little further afield or even to visit Michelin-star restaurants.

The list on Insider also included other familiar dishes around the world such as Peking duck, Thai pad, Korean kimchi, tacos, ramen noodles, dimsum, shakshuka...
