The culinary paradise in Hanoi's Old Quarter

Travel and Discover Journal of British wrote about the street food "paradise" in the world, including Hanoi capital of Viet Nam.
Cuisine is part of a national culture. And the street food which is both appealing and cheap adequately and clearly shown that cultural elite. If you want to have the perfect knowledge and experience about each region that you’ll pass, let enjoy street food one time, this will bring you interesting surprises.
Street food has been become familiar to Hanoi people for a long time. Listen to name of street dishes, everyone would imagine the bustling scene on the crowded narrow streets. But when you walk into these streets, the diners really feel satisfied and seemingly their food passion is satisfied completely. Walking around Hanoi in the evening, nothing is more interesting than shoving into a roadside restaurant to eat something and watch the city’s light up.

Although the prices of eateries or shops are not much different than roadside one with more beautiful space and cleaner but for many people, eating at sidewalk and enjoying the taste of food outdoor make them feel free and more comfortable. The popular and favorite dishes in Hanoi are rice noodle, bean vermicelli shrimp sauce, sticky rice, bread, fried rolls, rolls, etc.
Talking about Hanoi's cuisine, "Phở" is the first food in the list.

Xoi (Sticky rice): Talking about sticky rice, nobody is unknown. It is often cooked from glutinous rice and other ingredients. When eating, you can add more fat, oil, fried onions ... depending on the interests of each people. Seemingly, in any corner of Hanoi people also easily find a selling-sticky-rice grills with a large pannier. Inside the pannier are many kinds of Xoi (sticky rice): xoi xeo (green bean sticky rice), xoi gac (baby jackfruit sticky rice), xoi do den (black bean sticky rice), xoi lac (peanut sticky rice)… Nothing is more wonderful if you have a small package of sticky rice to eat to against hunger at the time of just coming back home from office or school.
