Meet up with your guide at hotel and set out for an exciting walk to seek and find Hanoi delectable street food.
Firstly, search for a small alley to hunt for a bowl of noodle soup, locally known as Bun Thang by the legendary Madam Duc. The shop is nestled on the upper floor of an old tube house in Cau Go Street. This “warm-up” gives you some energy to stroll alongside Hoan Kiem Lake before reaching Saint Joseph Cathedral. Only a few steps away, find a seat at Quan Goc Da to enjoy Bánh Gối (Pillow shaped crispy dumplings) and the delicately made fish sauce will surely make it tastier. Keep walking through the Old quarter before stopping by Bánh Mỳ Lãn Ông stand, selling thin baguette styled bread with pate. Your eyes will then be by delighted the colorful and flavorful varieties of O Mai (Salted or Sugared Dried Fruits) in Hang Duong (Sweet) street. O Mai are made from the most common tropical fruits such as star fruit, tamarind, kumquat, pineapple, and mango. Taste, buy and take away as a dessert. Finally, grab a plastic stool on the pavement around Ta Hien, so-called International Crossroad and treat yourself with a cold glass of Bia Hoi, popular draft beer. Have some fun time chatting with your local guide about Vietnam eating and drinking habits. Return to hotel or stay longer as you may wish.
