Hanoi's delicacies - Món ngon Hà Nội

"One of the great pleasures of spending time in Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, is tasting the local food. Founded 1,000 years ago, Hanoi’s culture has maintained its specialty and simultaneously integrated with other Asian and European cultures, that is all reflected in the uniqueness of Hanoi’s cuisine. Surprisingly, visitors don’t have to go to a pricey or fine dining restaurant to enjoy good food here, either. The tastiest dishes can only be found at some small shops in the Old Quarter or sold by street vendors, who carry their offerings through the streets on the bamboo shoulder poles or set up food stalls on the sidewalks."
