Hanoi City

25 Mar 2007..

We spent one full day in Hanoi City. We went to Cha Ca La Vong restaurant for lunch. This place was introduced to us by Sam, the guy whom we met on the minibus. I find this place very interesting because it served only 1 dish, ‘grilled fish’, the signature dish of this restaurant. Chunks of grilled fish and some oil were served in a metal pot and placed over a mini charcoal stove. After the oil was heated, we added vegetables into the pot and stirred fry the mixture. And it is eaten with rice noodle dipped in fish sauce. It seemed weird but it was quite tasty.

We visited the Hanoi historical museum and revolutionary museum. The visit to revolutionary museum was not fruitful because I find that the information was not well organized.

We went for a drink near the lake and then returned to the agency to place our deposit and headed to the train station.
