There are more than 30 food stalls serving traditional dishes, closely associated with the rustic lifestyle of Hanoi people, from sweet dishes such as green rice cakes, white jelly sweet soup, and dried apricots to savory dishes including steamed rice rolls, sticky rice cakes, fried spring rolls, etc.

Here, not only northerners want to find the familiar elegant flavor, but many southern diners line up to experience the taste of faraway lands.

Rice rolls made on the spot, Van Dinh duck sausage "sold out"

In a space filled with aroma, each dish stimulates and attracts passersby. However, there are quite a few dishes that have "sold out" very early.

Thanh Tri rice rolls

The banh cuon counter is one of the places where the artisans have to work non-stop because of the long line of customers waiting.

This is a simple dish. The cook uses a thin layer of dough to roll minced meat and processed wood ear mushrooms, then adds some vegetables and serves with fish sauce.

What attracts buyers is that the cake making process from grinding flour, making rice paper rolls to making a complete plate is all done on the spot.

Through this, the artisans not only promote the dish but also help viewers better understand the process of creating this Hanoi flavor.

Van Dinh duck sausage

This is also a dish that many people line up to enjoy. While waiting in line to fry the spring rolls, diners can already smell the faint aroma, making everyone impatient, wanting to taste this dish.

The sausage is made from Van Dinh duck meat to create the familiar taste of Hanoi people. When first eaten, the diner can feel the elasticity and crispiness of the sausage, then the aroma of onions and pepper gradually stimulates the taste buds of the diner.

Hanoi fried dumplings

This dish has existed for decades and is now on the list of most popular dishes in the culinary district.

From simple ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, onions, vermicelli, minced meat, quail eggs, etc., the artisan has made a delicious and crispy fried dumpling.
