A little about what major street dishes you can try to Hanoi.
To begin with - noodle dishes. It is worth noting that the noodles in the Hanoi eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner-and each time the dishes are completely different. That's what dishes with noodles can be tried in the Vietnamese capital.
Let's start with the most famous: FO (PH) . FD is a dish based on rice noodles. There are varieties: For Pho Xao Mem, the dough cut the strips of three millimeters into the width and add meat and vegetables, and for PHO Cuon is cut into rectangles and wrapped roasted beef and fresh greens in them.
Project Baha's trick area - there is always a good choice of FD dishes. However, they can be found throughout the city. And you can start with "PHO 10 LY QUOC SU" - the choice of pho is converted there.
Bun. - Another kind of rice noodle, but it is round, like thin spaghetti. It is usually served with a sauce (in which you need to make noodles) (Bun Cha and Bun Dau), in the form of a soup (BUN CA, for example) or something between the same, such as, for example, in a Bun Bo Nam Bo dish that combines In itself noodles with beef, greens, peanuts and a drop of light broth.
Go to try these goodies in the "67 Hang Dieu" (and the name and address), or look at Noodle and Roll (39C Ly Quoc Su, Hoan Kiem district) where the atmosphere is amazing friendly.
MY. (pronounced as "mi") - egg noodles. In short, something like our rollton, is sold in packages with sachets of dried vegetables and flavors, for a couple of dongs in all grocery stores.
This dish is usually eaten for breakfast in Vietnamese homes and even restaurants (go with us asking Rollton!). Many My is served in street restaurants, but already "wet", with pieces of fried beef, greens and any vegetables. But still dry my - more common food.
What about noodles Mien. ? It is made from Cannes (this plant) or starch, well, and other starchy substances. Sometimes it is called "glass" or "cellophane noodles". A little "rubber", but interesting and delicious noodles.
Mien can less often meet in tourists overwhelmed areas of the city, but you can still, just need to look. Two dishes with this noodle should be trying to try: Mien Ngan with poultry and Mien Luon with eel. A good place where you can try the last dish - "Dong Thinh Nha Hang Mien Luon" on Hang Dieu. Mien is also used in salads, pancakes with filling and soups - try salad vermicel in "COM PO CO" (16 Nguyen Sieu, Hoan Kiem district).
What about Pho Mai Que.?
This is a cheap snack that flooded Hanoi Streets. PHO MAI QUE is a roll of cheese, covered with breadcrumbs, fryed with chili and tomato sauces. Cheese is so processed, which is especially cheese and is not felt, but with sauce it is edible and satisfying. Options for this dish include Pho Mai COM (cheese in a green sticky rice) and Pho Mai Hun Khoi (grilled sticks).
Ta Hien Street in the Old Quarter will offer you a whole range of benches selling Pho Mai Que. During the day, many of the shops at the end of Luong Ngok Quyen are also traded by this snack, and you will notice how popular it is among young Vietnamese. And also, this is a very "friendly" dish, because it is taken in a big plate immediately on the whole table. If you order a piece, one wand will cost somewhere 6000 dong, but one will definitely be small. The sticks are very good with the TRA CHANH drink.
If the cheese in breadcrumbs does not impress you, try another snack instead Nem Chua Ran. (pancakes with pork) or froth potatoes.
Banh My Kebab. - Another outdoor food option. "BANH MY" (or BANH MI in Saigon) is "bread."
An excellent option for breakfast and lunch is something like a burger with stuffing from PSA, eggs (trung) or pork (CHA). BANH MY with a french colonial era pate, there are more modern options, Banh My Kebab, which resembles Turkish kebab in Pete, I think this dish is known to you. Pork pieces are frying on a spit, which slowly rotates above the furnace. Slim slices are cut and put on a Vietnamese bun or cake. Well, Shaver-Shaverm! There are vegetarian options that include pieces of cucumber and tomato, red onions, red cabbage, chili or mayonnaise (can be both immediately).
Kiosks with this dish can be found throughout the city, and in more high-tech kiosks, different from ordinary street food shops in Hanoi. As a rule, these kiosks are painted in yellow or red - seen from afar. One of the most conveniently located in the old quarter of the kiosks with this dish is the Luong NGO QUYEN, and the other at the intersection of Fung Hung and Chan Fu, next to Anh Hoa Bakery (at 38 PHUNG HUNG). It is difficult to find such a stall with tables, but some offer chair or two next to the kiosk. Typically, locals simply ordered this shaver with them. It costs from 20,000 to 25,000 dong.
Now about sweets. Firstly, Bo Bia Ngot. : Delicious sweet snack (snack, then you mean). On very thin pale pancake folded all sorts of sweets - crispy sticks, coconut chips (large chopped) and sesame, and then fold. The combination of soft, slightly wet pancake with a crispy stuffing - very unusual sensations.
Where to try bo bia ngot? For example, on Thanh Nien Street, which runs between Truc Bach and West Lakes, where the temples are Chan Cook and Kuan Thhan. There are next to Ho Chi Minh Complex and Botanical Gardens. Pay attention to bikes parked on the side of the road with white boxes with a red BA BIA NGOT inscription.
Some of the bikes also advertise Keo Keo. , sort of sweet tube made by sticky mass of sugar and oil. It turns out a crispy tube. Completely inside peanuts.
Another variant, Keo Nha. - This is something like solid caramel with peanuts and sesame. One portion of any of the listed above sweets costs from 5000 dongs.
If you love sweet, but it does not make it for you, visit the Kem Tay Ho cafe on Duong Thanh Nien. What are there only sweets here! Including popcorn and Banh Ran. Fried in fryer balls from green beans and adhesive rice covered with sugar, honey or sesame. Popcorn costs about 10,000 dongs per pack, and Banh Ran is about 2000 per ball.
