Itinerary
- Our first stop introduces you to the ultimate comfort food: Xôi Xéo — sticky rice topped with mung beans, fried shallots, and crispy bits. Paired with a rich, smooth egg coffee, this dish sets the tone for the rest of your food journey. Feel the magic of Hanoi’s food scene right from the first bite!
- Next, we dive into Vietnam's most iconic dish: Pho. You’ll savor the aromatic broth, tender beef (or chicken), and fresh herbs that make Pho the soul of Hanoi. Learn about the rich history of this dish while slurping away with locals — it’s a staple you can’t leave without trying.
- Ready for something adventurous? Try the local delicacy: Hanoi-style snails, served with lemongrass and chili. This street snack is loved by the locals for its bold flavors and unique texture. Don’t worry — your guide will show you the ropes, making this a fun, interactive food experience!
- At this stop, you’ll get to see how Bánh Cuốn — freshly steamed rice rolls — are made right before your eyes. Filled with ground pork and mushrooms, topped with crispy shallots, and served with a light fish sauce, this is a dish you won’t find anywhere else. Simple, but so satisfying.
- It’s time for Bánh Mì, a Vietnamese sandwich made with the freshest ingredients. Enjoy a crunchy baguette filled with savory meats, pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and tangy sauces. This local favorite is a perfect bite to keep you going as you explore more of Hanoi’s street food treasures.
- Finish your tour with two more legendary dishes: Bún Chả (grilled pork in broth with noodles and herbs) and Nem Cua Bể (crab spring rolls). These two dishes will leave you full and happy, offering a true taste of Hanoi's signature flavors. Don’t forget to dip your spring rolls in the sweet and sour sauce for the full experience!
