“Obama” Kebab Rice Noodles

Other than the aforesaid traditional dishes, there has recently been a dish attracting much attention in Hanoi. It is giant squids processed in Hong Kong style and sold in Hanoi Old Quarter. Its origin lies in Hong Kong and it is commonly served as a street food in China. Most people who once tried it seem to be pleasant, but some reckon that it is more crumbly than Vietnamese squids. Just have a try on it when you get a chance. Its price is about 69,000 VND per box. We wish you a delicious meal and a wonderful trip to Hanoi!
