Hanoi – Food

Not that I want to go on about it or anything but the nosh in Nam is truly superb. The markets look fantastic – as refrigeration is still fairly uncommon, everything is eaten completely fresh.

Lots of cool old French cafés to enjoy ultra-sweetened iced coffee and tea drinks.

But Hanoi is all about the street food – here’s a stall just over the road from Scott’s office.

My favourite meal of the holiday – muc tien – squid grilled with chilli and garlic, dipped in a lime/salt/wasabi sauce. Heaven!

Even museum café found was exceptional – here’s a dish at the Museum of Ethnology.

But we had some fancy meals too, including a sumptuous repast at the famous Green Tangerine.

And what better way to round off a huge meal than with a trip to the T Bar (the disco that kept Scott awake every night). Great people-watching!
