Description

Meet at No.38 Bát Sứ Street to begin with Bun Cha, a hearty grilled pork dish served with flavorful fish sauce broth. Dip vermicelli noodles into the broth for a full-flavored bite.

Next, try a unique take on Vietnam’s famous Pho: a dry mixed version topped with a special sauce, with options like chicken for a refreshing taste.

Then visit a local eatery for Banh Mi, the classic Vietnamese baguette filled with various ingredients. Finish the tastings with Kem Xôi, a dessert combining sticky rice, ice cream, and crispy coconut.

After the food tastings, take a taxi to Hanoi’s Train Street. Train schedules vary, so you may or may not see the train pass by, but when it does, it passes very close to the street’s edge. While here, enjoy an egg coffee or soft drink at a trackside cafe and soak in the atmosphere.

Return by taxi to the original meeting point where the tour ends.
