When the night falls, Hanoi culinary culture comes alive, and a
variety of typical food begins to appear on the streets. Nothing
can be better than ending a day with hot street food since winter
is coming.
‘‘NGO NUONG’’
Grilled corn is a small heartwarming gift
of Hanoi, extremely simple yet appealing
street food for folks walking down the
street on a cold winter night. For a cold
winter day, the aroma of grilled corn
maize wafts through Hanoi’s streets will
hypnotize who passes by. People love
grilled corn because of its original flavor
and the seller’s charcoal grilling skills.
The surface of the corn is crispy, while
the inside is mushy, making it difficult to
refuse.
Mỳ vằn thắn has been a major part of Hanoi cuisine,
which is unique to the city. Eating a bowl of Mỳ vằn thắn
at night is a simple yet magical culture within Hanoi
city. The fundamental ingredients that make this dish so
famous in Hanoi’s cold night are fresh yellow noodles,
sweet broth, char siu beef, dumplings, and pork liver.
Enjoying the hot soup in a bowl of noodles to feel the
warmth, charming smell and amazing taste is all that
Hanoians need to chase the cold night.
