Many Hanoi people are very picky about food. Sophistication does not mean to paint the pride of the taste, but the dish must be in the right taste and style. Whatever you say, keep stepping out of Hanoi, it is not easy to find vermicelli, vermicelli, noodles, rolls … in the true meaning that those words suggest. At that time, I can see the sentence “if the house will become unemployed”.
Bun rieu on Hanoi sidewalk Eat depending on where … Whenever I go away, or rather just leave Hanoi, my eating instincts suddenly become weak. I began to crave things that when I stay at home, see it every day, don’t glance. This special feeling often emerges as soon as the second day of arriving in a strange city. I would have a terrible craving (with a feeling of willingness to trade off at any cost) a bowl of vermicelli or a plate of vermicelli for example. I also don’t understand why I should be so shallow. Remember once, when the car had just arrived in the town of Seria (Brunei), I happened to see a boiled chicken hanging in a glass case. At that time at noon, I did not pay any attention to the new scenery or the urging calls of the team leader. Immediately my eyes were glued to the glass case and saliva like a poor boy thirsty for the first time from the countryside to the street and saw the delicious food in the stall. The reason is that this chicken resembles the chicken at home, has been boiled again, the thin yellow skin promises a hearty table after days of torture with unsuitable lunches and dinners. I must also add that, I cannot stand chicken dish in any country other than Vietnam. Most countries use industrial chicken for menu, moreover, it is frozen industrial chicken, skinless, legless, and wingless. Since the frozen industrial chicken breast I don’t consider it as food, it is a filling, rather, it shame the noble dishes made from chicken. So, when I saw the fine food in the glass case of a stall in the town of Seria, with the eyes of a “chicken connoisseur”, I immediately realized that this chicken was clearly a fellow countryman with the broiler chickens. at home. However, for a long time, I have learned to get used to the fact that not everything desires to become my own property, so I have to let the leader of the delegation to enter a Chinese restaurant and gnaw on the tender curtain, salt porridge. and chao soy sauce. Many Hanoi people are also picky about food. Sophistication does not mean to paint the pride of the taste, but the dish must be in the right taste and style. Whatever you say, keep stepping out of Hanoi, it is not easy to find vermicelli, vermicelli, noodles, rolls … in the true meaning that those words suggest. At that time, we can see the sentence “going home unemployed”. Diners lined up to eat Pho Bat Dan Culinary memories Hanoi food is not only an art but also associated with my childhood memories. Remember 20 years ago, our floods used to gather breakfast at a row of vermicelli near the corner of Yet Kieu – Nguyen Du street. Back then, it was one of the cheapest dishes, this restaurant was delicious, of course a familiar place for breakfast. Crab bricks are processed firmly, raw vegetables mixed with banana and chili powder, fragrant and indispensable for the characteristic taste of shrimp paste. I eat my breakfast on vermicelli almost all year round. Speaking of loyalty to the restaurant, I probably still lost to my father. When I was a child, sometimes he still put me on the street mannequin in Hoan Kiem street. This is the shortest street in Hanoi, but no Hanoi girl does not know it. Sometimes they forgot the street name and called it “mannequin”. My father said, he ate here since he was 10 years old. At that time there was an old man pushing a shopping cart to stand for sale, the clicking sound of beef cutters was a characteristic sound that indicated whether the old man was selling or not today. The old man “the ancestor” of the “mannequin” is now a natural man. The job of selling mannequins in Hoan Kiem street is a profession that makes money. People crowded each other because of the mannequin, people got angry at each other because (gave) the mannequin slowly, people were excited or irritable because of the mannequin. Today’s salad is not the same as in the old days, apart from dried beef, there is also a full range of beef, spleen, roasted birds, sour rolls, shrimp flour cake … Bun Rieu is not intact as when I ate breakfast 20 years ago. before. It grinds big snails, small snails, and then includes raw beef, sausages, fried tofu, quakes … Referring to quarrels, 15 years ago, Phan Boi Chau street (corner of Cua Nam) used to be a “funeral street”. not the fashion footwear street nowadays. Every night comes, especially on cold winter nights, young men and women come to eat hot. A tiny swing costs 100 VND, served with chili sauce mixed with pickles. It was a delicious treat, especially for the little money students. Dried beef salad Stylish level Unknown since ever, an unwritten sign to stipulate the “trendy class” among Hanoi’s teenagers is to hold all the eating places in the city. Brand-name clothes, fashion vehicles are nothing if an 18-year-old girl cannot think of a famous place to… eat morning pho. Food is one of the endless passions of young people. Although in 2010 there were many brands of KFC, Lotteria, Pizza Hut, Pepperonis, Pho Vuong, Pho 24 … on the streets, Hanoi people (for some reason), luxurious or impoverished, still enjoyed sitting on the sidewalk. summer in smog, in the roar of car horns, the grunt of the crowded salesman and in the dry summer sun, the chilly dry winds of winter. Teen groups like it even more. Hey, boiled snails Lieu Giai, Luong Van Can; Lo Duc, Bat Dan, Ton Duc Thang beef noodle soup; chicken noodle soup Mai Hac De, Do Hanh, Trieu Viet Vuong; bun rieu Hoe Nhai, Phan Boi Chau, Thi Sach; bun cha Hang Manh, Nguyen Khuyen; Noodles Mai Hac De, O Quan Chuong; Hai Ba Trung vermicelli; Hang Chi Lane Chicken Noodles; Cau Go spring rolls; Lo Su and Hang Thung porridge heart; boy porridge Le Van Huu; Yet Kieu bread, Hue city; To Hien Thanh rolls; Ly Quoc Su pillow cake; bun thang Luong Van Can, Hang Luoc, Cau Go; Bun Khanh grows; Truc Bach pho roll; the tapeworm noodles Mai Hac De, Dinh Liet; Hang Da market beef noodle soup; Mai Hac De eel vermicelli; Cam Chi chicken sticky rice; Tong Duy Tan chicken, grilled chicken legs Nguyen Van Phuc … Writer Di Li In fact, I think only one third of these brands are food worthy. However, no matter what, their brands are attached to the street name. To the point where people keep mentioning Bat Dan, people can faintly smell the scent of beef noodle soup, and mentioning Phat Loc alley is like seeing pieces of yellow beans. In recent years, the world economy has been in recession, and Hanoians cannot restrain their culinary enjoyment. Eating on the sidewalk is also a pleasure. More and more dishes are imported, increasing the diversity of the land Kinh which is already very sophisticated about cuisine. Then people also composed many more strange dishes to stimulate diners. “I miss twelve” Either way, the people of Hanoi who go far cannot help but remember the feeling in the cold winter night, sometimes honey is pouring out from sweet potatoes baked on charcoal in a summer corner. And right at the moment of writing this article, next to the author’s computer is a cup of chilled longan tea. Tea can only be found in Hanoi. It brings sophistication and elegance to its composition, even if it’s just a lotus wrapped in a label. The longan must be Hung Yen longan, thick with flesh, small seeds, and sharp sweetness. The thin longan type of Saigon, thick longan but not enough sweetness of Thailand, tiny pepper longan … cannot form longan tea. Each cup of longan tea has only a few seeds, but filled with it is the diligence of the worker, the purity of the natural fruit seeds and the sweetness, the fragrance of taste. Summer, new lotus and longan. And also only in summer, do people want to enjoy a cool glass of longan tea. Eating longan tea, no matter how hungry or thirsty, should not follow the way of Chu Bat Gioi to devour the peach. It is necessary to sip on the aroma of longan, the rich taste of lotus seeds, the aroma of distilled sugar to enjoy, so that when leaving Hanoi, in the heat of Saigon, Bangkok will frantically remember a glass of Ha tea.
