Our journey begins at Hoan Kiem Lake with Nom Bo Kho, a texture masterpiece where rustic green papaya meets bold, spicy dried beef to perfectly awaken your palate. This will be an iconic first bite on a Hanoi Food Culture Tour that dives straight into the local flavor.
We then dive into the vibrant Gia Ngu Market on this immersive Hanoi walking food tour, witness the art of caramelized fish and pork and grab a Nem Ran sizzling hot from the pan, before stopping at the famous "Golden Chicken" corner. Here, you’ll discover the "Messenger to the Ancestors", a majestic boiled chicken that symbolizes purity and abundance in Hanoian spiritual life.
We continue through the hidden lanes of Phat Loc and Ma May. This chapter of our secret food tours Hanoi reveals untold stories of ancient heritage houses and the traders’ comfort food. The climax of our tasting takes place at the bustling Hang Giay - Hang Buom intersection, where you will savor Chim Quay and, of course, a cold can of cold beer, a crispy roasted quail that was once an elite delicacy, followed by a soulful bowl of Pho Ong Vui. This "insider’s secret" gem is famous for its 12-hour clear broth, offering a joyful and undeniably elegant experience that locals call the gold standard.
To cleanse the palate, we stroll through the narrow "Underwear Alley" toward Hang Duong to enjoy a refreshing Tropical Fruit Medley on To Tich Street. Our heritage walk winds through the ritual artifacts of Hang Quat and the local life of Yen Thai Alley before reaching the iconic Hanoi Train Street.
