3. Châu Long's Delightful Rice Cake Salad
Rice cake salad, a delightful and popular street snack, is becoming increasingly rare due to its labor-intensive preparation and affordable pricing. That's why established spots like Châu Long are cherished by enthusiasts of this dish. Situated not in the market but on Châu Long Street, just a few steps away from the market... The eatery, though located right on the main road, is small and inconspicuous, so it's easy to miss without careful attention.
Each type of rice cake has its own unique deliciousness. The hot rice cake features elastic and fragrant dough, paired with richly flavored fish sauce and generous portions of succulent meat. The rice cake salad is loaded with small, finely cut rice cake strands, topped with crunchy sesame seeds. Accompanied by a small basket of fresh herbs including basil, cilantro, and banana blossom, it offers a perfect balance of flavors for hot summer days. Châu Long Rice Cake Salad has been selling for 12 years. Despite its street-side location, the prices are very reasonable, ranging from 10 to 15 thousand VND per bowl. In winter, the shop also serves praised sweet soup.

5. Hot Rice Cake & Mixed Vermicelli - Lê Ngọc Hân
Call NowThis is a familiar spot that I always visit whenever I'm in Hanoi. Hot Rice Cake & Mixed Vermicelli - Lê Ngọc Hân isn't situated right on the main street, so to avoid confusion with other eateries in the area, you need to enter alley number 8, walk about 30 meters, and because the alley is quite small, you might need to park your vehicle outside. Don't worry, there's someone from the restaurant looking after the parked vehicles, and it's, of course, free of charge.
Hot Rice Cake & Mixed Vermicelli - Lê Ngọc Hân has a culinary legacy of around 30 years. The hot rice cake here is meticulously crafted – clean, chewy, with fragrant steaming water, delicious minced meat, and the richness of natural flavors. The small fried peanuts are golden, the fried shallots are crispy, and the aroma is irresistible. The hot rice cakes at this street vendor are quite affordable, with freshly minced meat and fresh onions instead of dried ones, accompanied by flavorful broth. Besides, they don't include fried beans. The broth is rich, well-seasoned, and the rice cakes are soft and not mushy. Additionally, this place offers other delights like snail noodles and delicious mixed vermicelli, which I'll write about in a future post.
