Plenty of delicious Hanoi dishes around the Cathedral area.
When in Hanoi, you shouldn't miss Ly Quoc Su street with its fragrant aroma of steamed rice dumplings, Au Trieu alley bustling with customers waiting for grilled spring rolls, or a bowl of vermicelli with pork tongue at Chan Cam...
Ấu Triệu grilled fermented pork sausage
Almost everyone who visits the area around the Church can hardly miss the famous grilled fermented pork sausage (nem nướng). Although called a stall, the actual selling point is located along the walkway in a small alley, with a few dozen small chairs that serve as both tables for a platter and seats, yet it's always bustling with customers. The grilled fermented pork sausage retains its vibrant pink color and a sticky, gelatinous coating, placed on a clean banana leaf. It's served with small bowls of chili sauce and a plate of fruit such as jicama and green mango. A plate of nem costs around 50,000 VND. Photo: Thien Gia.
Savoring hot, crispy-shelled dumplings with a rich filling of meat, eggs, vermicelli... and a dipping sauce prepared in Hanoi's own unique style is a popular dish on Ly Quoc Su Street. The fried donuts here are equally appealing. They are large and have a distinctive golden color. As soon as a customer orders, the owner quickly drops the donuts into a pan of hot oil. Once cooked, they are removed to drain the excess oil, preventing them from being greasy. The hot donuts are served with a bowl of light green papaya dipping sauce and fresh vegetables. The price is 7,000 VND per donut and 9,000 VND per steamed dumpling.
