In Hanoi alone now I found cool water snails to sell noodles like the old days on end.” In the past, Hanoi or bottle but now they eat the snails eat pho noodle like chan, but many people still like to eat gourmet noodle dots.

Bun oc from morning to eat only lunch and dinner do not eat the bun Hanoi buildings, other than pho. Bun oc must first delicious taste of spicy and sour peppers, the wine suddenly. Bun buildings are 2-3 ways to eat: can chan, can stop, can be eaten hot or cold food. Bun oc does not change much as the other dishes Hanoi: still a typical pepper, perilla is. Nothing should perilla and pepper snails represents as much as noodles. The soup is very nice building in Hanoi as it represents red peppers, purple perilla and strands of white rice noodles …

Xoi – Sticky rice

Hanoi has nobody who is not ever enjoy sticky once, have to say that Hanoi has flung a particular taste that did not match any away elsewhere. Early morning cool weather also, after a peaceful sleep, quiet comfort people, you ever think that enjoying a bowl of sticky rice in the morning is not the best way to relax? Hanoi, or who have a habit like that, simple, rustic and tranquil know how much.

Each kind of sticky with a different taste and are eaten with other foods. Such as white sticky rice served with the procession, the ship store meat, spring rolls, sausages boned aromatic, medium soft. Gac sweet sticky rice is eaten with fat ball. Sticky rice and peanuts, served with sticky rice and green beans with sesame and procession. Also slanted away, make sure to have more green beans and thinly sliced on the non-aromatic bowl with yellow flesh …

In fact, the cooking is not too difficult khǎn away and regardless of who is cooking well. Such as sticky rice and green beans to cook, just pick flowers yellow sticky rice, soak rice and green beans from the night before, leave it overnight to soften. Then, wash the rice, beans treated carefully stir. To add a little salt, and the suspension of rice, beans and then pour into the map until the rice and beans in plastic hatch is sprung. For sticky rice and peanuts, have slightly different cooking methods. People who cook have cooked before the soft touch, then shelled peanut and mixed with glutinous rice, mixed with salt and pour into the map … Gac own sticky instead of salt, the cook need add sugar.

Eel Noodle

Today, the processing of sorghum and enjoy eel was different from the old lot. Hanoi ancient  eels noodles are coming into a small bowl, bowl often extracted love (kind of buried small bowl, bell) only larger bowl mouth ǎn bowl of rice a bit. Vermicelli in boiling water wash was bare, bare back to the pot of water to be used eel for sorghum hatched brown brown, dark red carpets, fresh water and place in bowl. The meat was fried eel hunt again, but still display the skin color of yellow eels. Executive chopped laksa leaves and flowers attempts – often move before the bowl to keep the aroma, the ram state as small as fragrance more details. Sprinkle the chopped up meat ram then chan eel soup. Eel broth brown sweet brown above normal, due to the emerging dense, dark tails, not only chan chan hammock because sorghum was soaked with water it enough so no more swelling, moreover, is vermicelli vermicelli ship made from green bean thread vermicelli so small that crisp but not crushed. Finally sprinkle pepper. Own criteria, she found the idea very room, she did not have any spicy pepper mill that uses a touch teaspoons pepper retired borders.

Myanmar seepage flowing with water, fried eel meat eating hunters are quite clear plastic eels, are soaked in flavor and smell so fragrant smell pepper fish sauce is very attractive. Eel vermicelli bowls, to eat the last piece is still hot. Hanoi old seems colder now. Eel vermicelli dish attractive every season, but in the cold winter day more attractive. Because cold to many, concrete bowl vermicelli eel fragrant, hot to cold is forget all smooth. Myanmar does not always draw on a large bowl, do not come with bean sprouts and shallots non, non sagging chan eel broth Where did smell like now, and especially not breaded fried eel meat dry and crisp to eat curve scouts do not know the eel or a donut or something arises because it is difficult to distinguish, it is difficult to see clearly, difficult to confirm the taste.

Do not understand why gift eel vermicelli Hanoi now that? … By lost? Due to the new taste? Do not pay attention to the Hanoi food before? What a pity when the bar is no longer part of Hanoi old sorghum eel again.
