Hanoi foodie heaven

If you like coffee to you're in the right place in Vietnam. Coffee was introduced by French colonists and once a luxury . Now Vietnam is the world's second-largest robusta bean exporter. 

We've been working our way through the options, salted coffee, egg coffee, coconut coffee and short blacks. It's all good 👌

The silken spicy beef roles were yummy 😋.

Enoki mushroom  stuffed and baked tomatoes 👌

Seafood stew with ginger, lemongrass and chives.

Fresh squeezed watermelon juice, beef pho and Enoki mushroom chips.

Coconut coffee👌

The size of the fruit here is amazing. Great mango, pawpaw, dragon fruit and pineapple 

The flavour in the pho here is the real deal, like nothing we've tasted back home. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! 

Green papaya and shrimp salad with chili lime sauce.

Grilled pork on lemongrass skewers with herbs and rice paper rolls👌

The ladies that deliver the fruit are gutsy weaving in and out of the traffic with ease.

Never seen such big pawpaw 

We haven't been eating much food off the streets vendors as we're here for a few more weeks so just adapting. It's certainly cheap though and  many tourists are sitting down at the little stands where the locals eat. They have these tiny plastic stools which once I got down I'm not sure I could get up again that easily. 

Along with coffee the French  also introduced the baguette 🥖 now morphed into the famous banh mi. These are delicious. We ate them too quickly..... so no photos.

The local Hanoi beer is pretty good too 🤞
