When it comes to food that I, mr.hotsia, must give thumbs up to when arriving in Hanoi, Vietnam, one of the dishes you should not miss isroast Duck Hanoi or Hanoi roast duckHere, they make roast duck with an enticing aroma that you can't find anywhere else in Vietnam. I strolled through Hanoi's Old Quarter, a hub of many street food stalls, and found that roast duck shops here are very popular among locals and even foreign tourists.

Hanoi roast duck is special because the skin is crispy but not hard, the meat is tender and juicy, marinated with well-balanced spices, topped with a special dipping sauce that is perfectly sweet and spicy. Eating it with hot steamed rice or red pork rice and crispy pork rice, which are often served together, enhances the flavor many times over. I once ordered duck rice and immediately realized that the aroma of the roast duck is truly extraordinary.

Atmosphere and Travel in Hanoi

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, blending culture and history with modernity perfectly. I, mr.hotsia, have traveled here many times. Sometimes I choose to fly from Vientiane with Lao Airlines, which is reasonably priced at about 4000 baht per trip. For transportation from the airport to downtown Hanoi, I personally recommend taking bus number 17. Although it takes a bit longer, it is more worthwhile and economical compared to taxis or vans, which sometimes require long waits and waste time.

On each trip, I usually stay in areas that are convenient for travel and close to delicious food spots, such as the Phu Xa Teo area, full of street food stalls and the aroma of various Vietnamese dishes. This makes it easy for me to stroll and taste local food right after landing.

Tasting Hanoi roast duck from street stalls is not just about food but also experiencing the local lifestyle. I, mr.hotsia, once sat eating by the roadside in Hanoi's Old Quarter, watching people pass by, with dimly lit food stalls and the scent of spices and charcoal-roasted duck filling the air. Seeing vendors cooking with care and regular customers returning to buy again made me feel like I was truly part of Hanoi life, not just a superficial tourist.

Roast duck here is served either as a plate with rice or for takeaway with various options. There are large roast ducks for family meals or small sliced pieces for snacking while walking around the city. I usually buy from small shops with many locals because I trust the taste and freshness.
