Where abouts in Hanoi is this?

@ausssiemite We shot this all over Hanoi. Parts in the old quarter, Dong Xuan market, Cao Lau street, Cha Ca La Vong, Quan An Ngon.

This is so true throughout Indo. Whenever we go and surf (and eat :)) it's never the place that everyone else eats that has the real thing. You have to ask the locals, start with the owner of whatever losmen you're staying in, They should know how to direct you around the market and eating in the area. My advice: LISTEN TO THEM! You won't eat nearly as well if you don't. Plus, it's a fun place to tramp around playing foodie in. Well, it's fun for just about anything, but that's another story.

@kern0099 Definitely a good foodie rule to follow throughout the world: ask around and go where the locals go Oh, and make sure the tablecloths are cheap and the chairs plastic.

I know street foods look cheap and dirty at times but they make even better food than restaurants at times. They know that they can't compete with restaurants on decor, atmosphere and comfort so what do they compensate on? The Food! Also street vendors usually sell only one type of food so they're kind of experts on whatever they're selling.

@umarket Yep. The voice of wisdom. All top cuisine comes from how regular working people eat.
