episode 153: Stinky, Crispy, Delicious Hanoi Street Food in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Stinky, Crispy, Delicious Hanoi Street Food in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
I love the street food of Hanoi. My favorites? Rice noodles and tofu dipped in fermented shrimp paste. The paste smells fowl, really bad, but when you start eating it something magical happens. A wonderful umami explosion and since the first time I tried it a few years ago I've been hooked. Fortunately for me, most regional dishes of Vietnam are available in Saigon, (Ho Chi Minh City), so on my most recent trip I had to dive into some more of this wonderful eating. Alongside the Bun Dau Mam Tom I ordered some crispy wonderful Banh Tom Ho Tay, or West Lake Shrimp Cakes. These are shrimp or prawns deep fried with sweet potato and come with lettuce and herbs in the usual sweet/sour fish sauce for dipping.
