  • In this Vietnam vlog, we spend 48 hours in Hanoi exploring the beautiful capital of Vietnam.
    We started the day with lunch at a local restaurant recommended by our friends @wherearewe-yt before drinking tea with the locals and exploring the Truc Bach neighborhood. Despite Ashley feeling a bit sick midway through the day, we found ourselves sitting in a quiet alleyway eating sandworm pancakes for the first time.
    The next day started at Cafe Giang, home to the original egg coffee. We grabbed some delicious Vietnamese food and headed to Maison Central, otherwise known as Hỏa Lò Prison, a place we won't soon forget. We ended the day by eating some of the best phở we've ever had and announced our next travel destination.

      Foreign tourists who come to Hanoi for a few days will find everything new and attractive. But after a long life, termites clearly see that Hanoi is not a city worth visiting, because everything is cutthroat, and the food contains toxic chemicals.

      Hanoi is absolutely one of our favorite cities we've ever explored. We did miss Bun Cha, we were trying to go for a few items that don't make it to every video from Hanoi, so we went with our friends recommendations. But, we will be trying it when we return in a couple of months! We will be sure to post about it. 🤗

      "Chả Rươi" or "Worm cake" as they said :)) and Egg coffee can cover the miss of Bun Cha. Do you know that "Chả Rươi" is quiet expenseive and rare because you can only havest "Rươi" worm in sep, oct and nov of lunar canlendar. so it's mean you can only eat this dish in a specific and limited time of the year. it's delicious, full of protein and good for your health also

      Seems like a lot of Western vloggers love Hanoi. I think they are drawn by the mixing of Vietnamese with French in the architecture and the food as well as the whole historical and traditional aspect to the city that places like HCMC lost due to it's zest to be too modern and Western. Foreigners don't necessarily want to travel abroad to see what they can find at home, especially if they are on vacation.

      @@thethaovatoquoc312 You sound extremely biased and not at all factual. Per Wikipedia (notice the second sentence applies to your comments/opinions): "Some estimates of those killed range up to 200,000.[32] However, *other scholarship has concluded that the higher estimates were based on political propaganda emanating from South Vietnam with the support of the US, and that the actual total of those executed was significantly lower*. Scholar Balasz Szalontai wrote that documents of Hungarian diplomats living in North Vietnam at the time of the land reform provided a minimum number of 1,337 executions.[33] This is consistent with Gareth Porter's report of a South Vietnamese government document released in 1959 that estimated around 1,500 executions.[34] Scholar Edwin E. Moise estimated the total number of executions at between 3,000 and 15,000 and later came up with a more precise figure of 13,500.[35][36]" Now let's talk about how many died directly and indirectly because of the war. Millions. And how many bombs were dropped. And how much poison was spread over the land. And how many historically significant sites were destroy forever. You get the gist.

    Pretty sure the pho cuon was supposed to be dipped into the fish sauce and maybe you did that later, but in case you didn't, if it comes with fish sauce, dip it or pour it over whatever you're eating (if it's like a noodle bowl). The dips/sauces often are the carriers of the flavor for that specific meal. That one place with all the doggies...cuteness overload!

      The pups were SO cute! We met so many lovely dogs in Vietnam. We do typically try the dishes with everything provided. Sometimes it’s just not on camera. It took us a while to get used to the flavor of fish sauce, which is why we usually ate thing with chili sauce or similar. But we grew to really enjoy it! We just also LOVE the flavor of the chili sauces and pastes in Vietnam. ☺️

    I love banh cuon and think everyone should try it, not sure how that place compares to others as different vendors add different toppings with theirs.

I'd highly recommend doing a food tour next time you're in Hanoi as they have really great guides there from the videos I've seen.
