Description

Pack loose trousers, cos we're taking you on a food adventure like no other, to the backstreets of the Old Quarter, discovering the real street food of Hanoi and the food heroes deep inside the culinary underbelly of the North. We'll meet at the historic Old Quarter, navigating through street food vendors, decades-old eateries and family-owned recipes that have been passed down generations. We'll crunch on crispy handmade pillow cakes, translucent tapioca dumplings, and caramelized pork belly. We can't miss a Hanoian classic - turmeric-spiked fish with dill at a century-old original joint, before a steamy hot bowl of pho at a Michelin-rated eatery. Next up, bánh cuon rice rolls are rolled expertly over the griddle, and later grilled bun cha pork patties are doused over stringy vermicelli noodles and fresh herbs, whilst young green rice flakes are bundled over banana leaves, washed down with dracontomelon juice. There's many more surprises amongst 15+ tastings over the course of 7-8 stops of our moveable feast. We'll toast the iconic egg coffee with your seasoned foodie pro guide, an expert in delicious dishes, arming you with the local knowledge to continue eating street food across Vietnam. Come hungry, we'll show you where the locals eat!
