As we wander through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we’ll sample famed street food like Bun Cha (Obama’s favorite dish in Hanoi), Nom Bo Kho, Banh Cuon, and Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls. Watch skilled chefs prepare these tasty treats and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.

Next, we’ll stop at outdoor barbecue stalls to enjoy flame-grilled meat, vegetable, and bread specialties with the locals. For dessert, we’ll visit a small alley to savor fresh fruit with crushed ice and condensed milk—a must-try delicacy!
