Breakfast in Hanoi


A good way to start the day is to have a bowl of good pho bo (beef noodles).


At a side lane off Dinh Liet Street called Trung Yen, (1 or 2 streets parallel to Hang Bac), the stall serves delicious pho bo and it is not salty!  A bowl of noodles costs 30,000 to 35,000d (about US$1.50 - 1.70).

It is a busy place but the wait for food is short.  When I went on a week day, 2 young men were in charge. On a Saturday, 2 senior persons were at the stove (see picture).  This stall was recommended by my hotel staff and I was told it has been around for many years.





On another morning, I walked past Ta Hien and saw this stall full of customers. People were either eating on the spot or had take-away.





















Busy stall owners....








Each serving consisted of fried eggs, few kinds of meat and bread.   Most Vietnamese would add soy or chilli sauce to the meat and egg.  At 20,000d (about US$1), it is a good value breakfast.



For a cup of coffee, try Nans Cafe.  Walk towards Hoam Kiem Lake till the junction at Hang Bac, turn left and walk 50m on the left hand side)
