5.    Street foods


Hanoi in particular is a heaven for street food. Regardless of hygiene issues, street foods still have their own customers. Two things we must admit are cheap and delicious. If you want to try “Pho” with its most authentic flavor, then it must be and nothing else but in a street mall. Vietnamese styled bread – the one selected as the best street food of the world – can be found easily here.
