Pin down these delectable dishes to ensure you don't miss out when passing through Giang Vo street (Ba Dinh District).
Ascending Noodle Soup: Ascending Noodle Soup brings forth the essence of old-school, rustic Hanoi, a definite must-try when you're in the area. Though this noodle dish may seem familiar, Ascending Noodle Soup always demands meticulous attention to its ingredients. A bowl of complete noodles must include eggs, sausage, sliced chicken, accompanied by fragrant mushrooms and spring onions, all immersed in a clear, sweet broth. That simple yet sweet flavor is irresistible to almost anyone.
Black Pepper Beef Rice in Clay Pot: Taking a stroll around the capital, it's not hard to find a clay pot rice eatery. However, Giang Vo's clay pot rice still entices diners to stop by, thanks to its characteristic allure from rice cooked in clay pots with a crispy, golden, fragrant crust. Especially, the tender beef pieces marinated richly, soaked evenly in the characteristic sauce, exuding a slightly spicy aroma of pepper, mixed with rice, it's utterly mouthwatering.
Beef Pho: Beef Pho has long been a dish that every Hanoian craves wherever they go. The pho here is prepared like many other places, not intricate or complicated, but its delicious taste is unbeatable. The broth is richly sweet, generously poured over the pho noodles and the super 'quality' beef slices, sprinkled with fragrant spring onions. Serving a steaming hot bowl of pho, accompanied by crispy, fragrant dough sticks, there's no flavor that's as 'adorable' as this.
Chicken Rice with Lemongrass Sauce: This unique dish carries the flavors of Thai cuisine that once made the youth go crazy. A bowl of cool green rice is specially created from the aroma of sticky rice leaves and coconut flesh, both fragrant and slightly chewy. The chicken is smoked golden yellow, served with lemongrass sauce, a strange but also attractive combination that makes people keep reminiscing after they've eaten.
Shrimp Paste Vermicelli with Fried Tofu: Shrimp Paste Vermicelli with Fried Tofu is not a strange or overly complex dish, but finding a place that prepares this simple dish perfectly and elegantly is not easy. However, the vermicelli here is always trusted due to its extremely meticulous ingredient selection. The main highlight is the golden-fried tofu piece, both chewy and fragrant, with a guaranteed crispy, creamy skin. Additionally, you can choose to enjoy it with a diverse menu of boiled pork, pork sausages, fried fermented pork roll, or grilled pork wrapped in wild betel leaves, depending on your preference.
Pandan Leaf Steamed Buns: Steamed buns have long been hailed as a childhood snack. From the elderly to children, hardly anyone doesn't feel a sense of fondness for this bun. Pandan Leaf Steamed Buns are as simple as regular steamed buns, but the filling is rich, flavorful, especially with the added aroma of pandan leaves. Served with a uniquely prepared dipping sauce, guaranteed to stimulate both the visual and taste senses.
Savory Fried Dumplings: Savory fried dumplings are no longer unfamiliar. On days when the cold wind blows like this, sitting in a corner of the sidewalk enjoying a few hot, steamy fried dumplings, how satisfying. The uniqueness of fried dumplings lies not only in the soft filling with rich meat but also in the outer dough layer. The dough layer is fried golden brown, crispy and delicious, especially when eaten 'hot off the pan', sprinkled with some sesame seeds that are both fragrant and nutty, it's 'perfect'.
Fish Cake: Whether you love traditional culinary culture or are a 'foodie', few would not love this dish that's both sophisticated and down-to-earth. Fish cake in Giang Vo is famous for its extreme meticulousness in each processing stage, hence always ensuring to satisfy even the most discerning diners. The most challenging part is how to marinate the fish, season it with delicious spices that are mouthwatering while still retaining the distinctive flavor of the chosen fish.
Grass Jelly Dessert: Grass jelly dessert is a refreshing treat that even the most picky people love. Moreover, grass jelly dessert is special because it brings the flavor of childhood. The grass jelly has a jade green color, smooth and fragrant, not only providing a cool feeling but also very aromatic. Grass jelly can be enjoyed with tofu pudding, soy milk, or just a little sweet syrup, and it's deliciously satisfying.
Coconut Sticky Rice Ice Cream: The seemingly unrelated but unique combination of ice cream and sticky rice has long been favored by young people. The sticky rice grains are cooked very delicately, served with cool, sweet ice cream, dried coconut, chewy and crispy, very enjoyable. Furthermore, the scent of pandan leaves emanating from the sticky rice when enjoying it only makes this ice cream dish even more interesting.
