Especially, there has a rich, crowded and unique food walking tour for both domestic and international tourists. In this news, I want to talk about Hanoi traditional food in the Hanoi Old Quarter.
Firstly, “Fried food paradise”, “barbecue labyrinth” in Hang Bong street
Hang Bong is probably the most fried street in Hanoi. Fermented pork roll fried is too famous! However, there are many other delicious fries such as hot rolls, fried dumplings, pillow cakes, shrimp …… If we talk about Fried foods, we have to mention about barbecue. It is not the grilled dishes on the stove, which are full of oils tasting, but full of charcoal grills flavor.
There are many options for you to choose from popular dishes such as honey bread, baked beef, grilled chicken, grilled meat … to more exotic dishes such as grilled crocodile meat, grilled mushroom. In addition, cane juice is very famous in Hang Dieu street. Sugar cane juice is still the main ingredient is sugar cane juice pressed from the sugar cane crusher, but it also adds flavored with fruit and pearl.

You can freely choose your favorite flavors, from strawberry, grape, apple, peach, litchi, orange, guava, coconut, lime, kiwi, to mint, coconut milk, chocolate, taro. In particular, the taste most customers love is mint pearl flavor.
Secondly, there are night food tour in Hanoi on Hang Buom street
The food street begins at 7.30 p.m. to 12.00 p.m. every Friday to Sunday.

Along with the food street, the evening will become more leisurely and meaningful if you walk around the other pedestrian streets, listen to music and watch the real life of the Hanoi old quarter.
There are many delicious dishes in both traditional and modern Asian and European dishes of all three regions of the country. Hang Buom is one of the typical food streets that cannot be ignored when coming here. Only coming here, you have the opportunity to find the paradise of the full range of childhood, such as candy pinching waffles, candy, cassava, drift cake … there is a myriad of junk food: such as fruit beams, sweet soup, ice cream, fried corn with small shirmp, grilled corn, … for young people who want to gather with their friends.
