Hanoi Food on Foot Tour- The Reward Boss 2014
Hanoi Food on Foot Tour- The Reward Boss 2014
Hanoi Food on Foot Tour provided Cobra Wine, Water Bugs, Egg Coffee
If you find yourself in Hanoi, Vietnam, I highly recommend the “Food on Foot Tour” run by Vietnam’s Vietnam Best Adventure Tours. Skip the fancy restaurants – this food is better and much much cheaper.We arrived in Hanoi last night and wanted to check out the food in the neighborhood. I read about recommendations not to eat on the street and the need to be really careful (like “use bottled water even to brush your teeth because you may get sick”). Some bloggers recommend the opposite – do not eat at the restaurants (which will be empty btw) and only eat street food. Walk around the old quarter and you probably won’t know where to go or what most things are. I usually don’t have stomach issues but the Mrs’ stomach isn’t as forgiving. Just in case, we took some Grape Seed Extract (GSE) in the morning and neither of us had any problems.
We ate at one normal highly recommended restaurant on a different day and my main dish had a long black hair in it. Meanwhile, all of the street food we had was delicious and we never found any problems (even though it was often handled with bare hands).
For $25 per person, we got around 4+ hours (it was scheduled for 3 hours) of sampling food in the Old Quarter. Don’t worry, you won’t have to eat bugs and drink cobra wine…but you can. The guide will find things that you can eat but Vietnamese are mainly meat eaters. Vegetarians, be aware, you won’t have so many options. I tried many of the choices on this food tour but just could not stomach some of them.
