Full description

[IMPORTANT NOTE] Start your tour at No.38 Bát Sứ street to explore Hanoi's food scene with iconic dishes like Bun Cha, dry mixed Pho, Banh Mi, Kem Xôi, and experience Train Street with egg coffee. ... Start your tour at the meeting point on No.38 Bát Sứ street, and head to a traditional restaurant specializing in Bun Cha. A hearty dish with grilled smoky pork and a flavorful fish sauce broth. Dip the vermicelli into the broth and enjoy this mouth-full bite. Next, enjoy pho (noodle soup), which is Vietnam’s most famous dish. But this is a new, different version, which is dry mixed Pho with a special sauce. Try the chicken version and the refreshing taste will blow your mind! Then head over to a local restaurant to try Banh Mi - a signature baguette with a variety of fillings and an explosion of flavors. And definitely don't miss out on a dessert called Kem Xôi (sticky rice with ice cream). Dive into the sweetness of the ice cream, the sticky texture of the rice, and the crunch of the dry coconut. After several dishes, you will be full and satisfied. Catch a taxi and go straight to Train Street. Although train schedules show them to come daily, sometimes they do and sometimes not, so if you're lucky, you may catch one and experience the huge train passing right in front of your face. While here, enjoy egg coffees at a nice shop trackside and experience the unique ambiance. When you’re done with the drinks, hop in a taxi again to go back to the meeting point where the tour ends. Kindly note the following: - The dishes listed may vary based on the guide's discretion due to factors such as local restaurant availability, weather conditions, and timing. However, the tour will still include a total of five tastings/drinks. - Depending on the train schedule and other circumstances, we may take you to a different Train Street location to ensure you experience the train passing by. As a result, transportation to Train Street may vary depending on your selected tour time.
