What to Eat in Hanoi

Jasmine TamokAsia

I just finished writing about our 2-week itinerary in Northern Vietnam, and let’s just say, it was a lot of a text. We are so busy while travelling, that I find it hard to break up my posts and end up garbling on way too long on a single post. So, I decided to write about the food options in Hanoi in a separate post!

But before you read, make sure you check out what we did during our 2-week stint in Vietnam.

When people ask me what I miss most about Canada, I often give the token answers of my family and friends. However, there is one thing that I miss a lot (possibly the most?) and that is good Asian food. Vancouver, being famous for being multicultural, is abundant with amazing Asian food. It’s cheap, healthy (enough), and tasty!

Once I moved to Scandinavia, I began my quest to find good Asian food. At home, I would find everything from Japanese to Korean to Vietnamese. Here my search was simple.
