My Quang Hanoi sateet food Dry Hanoi Noodles: A flavor you must try in Hanoi

When talking about Northern Vietnamese food, many people often think of “Dry Hanoi Noodles,” or as locals commonly call itMy Quangwhich is one of the must-try dishes that I, mr.hotsia, must say you should not miss when visiting the vibrant capital city of Hanoi, Vietnam, full of life and a perfect blend of culture.

This time I arrived in Hanoi via Lao Airlines, flying direct from Vientiane. The flight took about one and a half hours. After landing at Noi Bai Airport, I chose to take bus line 17 to the city center. Although it took longer than a taxi, it was economical and gave me a genuine local atmosphere (read more aboutBackpacking in Hanoi)

Dry Hanoi Noodles My Quang with an extraordinary simplicity

My Quang may look like ordinary dry noodles at first glance, but it is much more than that. I wandered through small alleys in Hanoi’s old quarter, where local eateries still firmly preserve tradition. The aroma of spices and fresh herbs greeted me as I approached a small but crowded restaurant.

The dry Hanoi noodles here are served with chewy soft noodles mixed with a rich but not greasy broth made from pork bones and dried shrimp simmered to deep flavor. It comes with crispy marinated pork, soft-boiled eggs, and a variety of fresh vegetables including bean sprouts, basil leaves, and culantro, which add a refreshing aroma to the dish.

Another special touch I really liked was the sprinkle of finely roasted crushed peanuts, giving a crunchy texture that pairs perfectly with the noodles and broth. I, mr.hotsia, enjoyed eating this while sipping a cold local beer, feeling a small happiness that is hard to find elsewhere.

The atmosphere of Hanoi’s old quarter and eating like a local

From my experience, I, mr.hotsia, find Hanoi to be a city full of diverse culture and warm lifestyles. Even as a prosperous capital, the simplicity and sincerity of its people remain clearly felt.
